Sacred Forest – Chapter 14 with audio
Carrying a large birch bark trug, over flowing with flowering herbs, Ulmus Ramcorn steps through the window doors into his study, to answer the receiver trilling on the edge of his desk. A warm fire crackles in the grate alleviating the evening chill, which comes as rapidly as the declining sun at this time of…

Sacred Forest – Chapter 13 with audio
As soon as Cerri is out of sight Louarn flops down in the cool of the stream, letting its’ flow wash around him. With a wave of exhaustion comes a burning thirst, he laps at the refreshing water hoping that it will help him to ground a little after his surreal journey. His head feels…

Solstice – Gathering the Light
For me this week has been spent connecting in with my communities, both near and far, large and small. Gathering our lights together, singing songs of love and joy, sharing smiles and heart felt warmth. Igniting and feeding the lights that burn in each and every heart, building a hearth fire of community, not bound…

Sacred Forest – Chapter 12 with audio
Tom lies back placing his hands behind his head as a pillow and lets his eyes relax behind their lids.

Sacred Forest – Chapter 10 with audio
Finishing his tale Tom reaches over and gently strokes Cerri’s hair as she lies peacefully in the sunlight. He leans over her and softly kisses her lips bringing her back into the moment with him. As Cerri’s eyes open he finds himself staring into the black matter of the Dark Void. Pushing him off of…

Sacred Forest – Chapter 9 with audio
Louarn passes through the entrance in the mighty girth of the oak. Ivy climbs up either side, towering pillars of deep green foliage, guarding the entrance. Expecting the darkness of a cave inside, he is quite surprised to find that the tree is completely hollow. Looking up he can see the clouds rolling by in…

Sacred Forest – Chapter 8 with audio
Designed to resemble Central’s sigil, the aerodrome’s four broad esplanades cross each other encircled by a grand circuit. A runway for each quadrant, although one of them leads only to the Holding Hall, no flights go to the Northern Quadrant and the Whitelands beyond it. A sleek, silvern Teromaton stands on the turning table at…

Sacred Forest – Chapter 7 with audio
Tom pulls the harma out of the fuelling station and heads west towards Arbridge, neurotically checking the rearview mirror every few seconds in case they are being followed. Ironically, for the first time in her memory, Cerri is feeling quite safe and calm hiding behind her red and puffy mask. ‘How about sthom road trwip…
