    Utilising Pagan spiritual imagery, skills and perspectives, a combination of inspirational text and easy exercises work with images and stories to distract and encourage for short-term relief and long-term healing.From the apparent hopelessness of deep night through to the inevitable return of sunrise, Nature imagery, tales of mythology and Deity combine in accessible meditations, activities and anecdotes to remind the reader that they are not alone on their path through the darkness.Cat acts as a guide through the forest, working with the Druid skills of Bardic tales and Ovatic land/spirit connection. Darkness and despair can lead to peace and inspiration… through the simple bravery of stepping forward.‘Facing the Darkness’ contains beautiful original artwork by Emma Hotchkin, as well as many individual tales of quiet heroism experienced every day.‘This is a book for those times when you are literally on your knees and the screaming inside your head is so loud that its either going to come out, or tear you apart. And for those times when you are numb to the marrow of your bones and the despair is so overwhelming that you can see no way to keep going. There’s very little that can help a person in those places, as you will know if you’ve been there or tried to help someone going through that kind of deep depression. Cat Treadwell has written a book that faces the torment head on, and offers words of support and insight to help a person not be destroyed by what is happening to them. A brave, raw and potent piece of writing, from someone who knows that the dark nights cannot be magically banished, but that they can be survived.’ – Nimue Brown, Author of ‘Druidry & the Ancestors’‘It takes a certain special something for words in a book to reach you through a tar-pit of depression – the words in this book have that something. Cat shares her own experience and that of others simply and sensitively, offering insights and suggestions in small doses which have helped sufferers to hold on when it is hardest to do so. Some books expect a lot from you – this one accepts you where you are, as you are, offering perspective and a safe place to be when you’re vulnerable. If the best in us comes out when we are tested, maybe these words will guide you to the best in you.’ - Paul C. Newman, Bard & Storyteller‘This rather ‘counter cultural’ little book (and by that, counter to the current ‘light’ obsessed perfection-driven and success-oriented western spirituality culture) is profoundly honest and filled to the edges with the gritty wisdom of one who’s not avoided the pain-filled way. It’s a book to be read slowly and mindfully. The exercises are practical and quietly powerful if given adequate time. As one also prone to the black clouds, I was grateful for the immediate sense of solidarity and support.’ - Mark Townsend, Author of ‘Jesus Through Pagan Eyes’‘For anyone facing their dark night of the soul, Cat’s lyrical and painfully honest account is a guiding light. Cat’s tale of her own difficulties is moving, poignant and powerful. There is vulnerability here and a delicious inspirational quality that serves to lend a helping hand through the forests of depression and anguish.’ – Kristoffer Hughes, Head of the Anglesey Druid Order and author of ‘From the Cauldron Born’‘A wise, practical and spiritual guide to dealing with depression, with advice from those who have walked the black dog and learned how best to kennel it.’ - Liz Williams, Award-Winning Novelist & Guardian Columnist

    We learn about correspondence and how to associate symbols with their mysteries. But what are the real mysteries behind the symbols? What lives at the very heart and core of these teachings? In the Deep Heart of Witchcraft, we seek the teachings and ways that might lead us to look beyond the surface and into the depths of the Craft. In this book, we ll look at the tools and spirits of the sacred elements to connect us back to the power of nature. Through ritual, we turn and face traditions both new and old to enrich our practice and feed the soul. And through the wheel of the year, we connect with the ebb and flow of the cycles of time and space.

    The topics continue to cover Sorcery, Esoteric Buddhism, Elven Culture, Magic, and modern culture. It is entitled “Ruminations on Necromancy” because the dominate theme is about Necromancy, Necroturgy, and Death.

    They are teachers who offer instruction and the courses you are offered are based in part on the day you were born, the period of the month and the month you were born in.

    The authors channeled it from those very spirits who are searching for their kindred on the planet. This is a Living Book. It is designed to be used in concert with any tarot deck so that their meanings and concepts can be easily and readily accessible to anyone interested in communicating with the elven and faerie spirits of other realms and dimensions. This book can be read from cover to cover; however, we think it best if you read bit by bit as the cards speak to you. Thus, this book can be used and read for years to come, consulted over and over again, instead of just being perused once or twice. This is why we call it a Living Book. In this way it speaks to each individual and unfolds for each in its own way according to each individual’s needs. It is a functional tool for communicating with the spirit world. Still, in time it is assumed that the book will become merely a reference guide while the cards themselves will lead you to the information from the spirits that could not be included in the book. While this book can be used with any tarot deck, you will note that there are additional and alternative cards beyond traditional tarots deck, which have 78 cards. Thus this deck can also be used with other decks that exceed the traditional card set up or you can create your own deck using it.

    It is a guideline for awakening elves to follow as they proceed into the future and the Age of Faerie to come. Yet, it is not a children's book, save for those very mature children, the elves who like Peter Pan that refuse to grow up and who look to life with the eyes of a child and the heart of the ever young. It is a book of elfin magic and all elves, awakened or awakening, can gain from its wisdom and wry view of life.

    You will find within these pages a western, a detective story, parodies of popular movie and television characters, and re-imaginings of traditional fairy tales all told from an elven point of view in Zardoa's wry irreverent pixie style. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

    Most of these poems in this current volume were inspired by the ancient Elven Poetry Game that Zardoa Silverstar created. You may ask, if Zardoa Silverstar created this game, how can it be ancient? We leave that as a puzzle for you to ponder. The Elven Poem Game goes like this. An elf writes a poem and another elf takes one line from that poem and creates another poem from it, and then the first elf takes a different line from that new poem and creates another poem, and so forth. Sometimes the line has to be changed somewhat to make it work with the new poem but most of the first lines, and thus the titles, of these poems came from other poems.
