Widdershins (novel)
''Widdershins'' is a 2006 urban fantasy novel by Charles De Lint in the Newford universe.〔 〕
It continues the events of the 2001 novel ''The Onion Girl'', where Jilly was left partially paralyzed and her relationship with Geordie unfulfilled. It also deals with a potential war between fairies and "cousins." Fairies, according to the novel, came to the Americas along with the European explorers. Cousins are the original inhabitants, who can take the form of specific animals depending on their bloodline.
According to De Lint in the introduction, ''Widdershins'' is the last novel he will write centering on Jilly Coppercorn, though he subsequently followed up the book with a prequel about Jilly's earlier days, ''Promises to Keep'' (2007).

De Lint's official site notes, "To walk 'widdershins' is to walk counterclockwise or backwards around something. It's a classic pathway into the fairy realm. It's also the way people often back slowly into the relationships that matter, the real ones that make for a life."〔http://www.sfsite.com/charlesdelint/widdershins-desc01.htm〕 The term is used in the novel when Timony tells Jilly that the way to enter the ''croí baile'' is to walk widdershins around an object of power.
