Newsletter #30: Summer 2021

Hello Dear Friends,

I have missed you all and am eager so connect with you. I hope you are all well and thriving through these challenging times of drought and fires, storms and floods, the extreme summer heat all over the US and the pandemic. What times we live in!

We are no longer locked down here in Seattle but covid cases are on the rise, so we are back to wearing our masks in public. I don’t mind this at all as I feel that it protects others.

I have been working on the final  edits of my upcoming book Celtic Tree Ogham: Rituals and Teachings for the Aicme Ailim and the Forfeda which is about the last ten ogham of the Celtic Ogham tree alphabet. It will be available in November. Again, I am reminded of the healing energies of the tree dryads and nature. I am as resolved as ever to protect Mother Earth. I love these tree teachings and this practice that leads me through the seasons with gratitude.

People are buying my novel and that is thrilling for me. It is always scary to put a new piece of work out there in the world. I am just so pleased that I got it completed, edited, formatted, and published! So grateful for the support!

Special Offer: I am asking folks who buy and read my novel The Pharaoh’s Daughter if they would write a review for me on Amazon. Because I have self-published this book, I need help in getting the words out about it, and reviews help with this. I would like to offer you a Tree Reading in gratitude for purchasing the book and for taking the time to write a review. I use my Celtic Tree Oracle deck to choose your tree, and then I tune into the tree and share its special message for you. So let me know if you are willing!

Now that the edits are complete for my last tree book, I am left with a time and space. Wow, it has been a while since that has been the case. I would love to hear back from you to know what you are doing. I miss contact with others as I haven’t taught a class since the March of 2020. I could have chosen to use zoom and continued to teach but my heart just wasn’t in it. I have continued to do readings on zoom however and am offering Tree Readings. Tarot Readings, and Astrology Readings if any of you are interested.

I have some sites to offer:

Netflix: The Biggest Little Farm is a documentary about a couple who leave their LA apartment to start a sustainable farm in Moorpark, California. It is fascinating how they learn to develop a truly sustainable farm and heal the soil and the environment.
