Part memoir and nature writing this also includes some Celtic mythology and fairy folklore. It should come with a warning “might make you run away to Ireland, Scotland or Wales.”

🌀 this book opened doors that I‘m still learning how to walk-through. & for that, I know I‘ll be returning to it‘s pages later on in life. I feel it reaching toward me, but there are pieces I know I‘ll understand more deeply with time and experience. #nonfiction #audiobook #feminism #naturalitsy #reading #bibliophile #uncommon

As powerful as Blackie's words are- I have a problem with such stark contrast between lyrical storytelling & the raw, messy edges of everyday life...
However, I admire that she shares voices of other women, offering #ecofeminism & real-life examples of how we can shape our own journey & bring that wisdom back into your immediate world.

I started this a couple of days ago (thanks @squirrelbrain ) exploring our relationship as women with nature, and the stories and Celtic myths that celebrate powerful women (kind of).

It starts with holy wells, and the keepers of the waters, so I thought I‘d stop by the Leechwells in Totnes yesterday - they‘re in amongst the high walls on the edge of town that surrounded a medieval leper hospital, and are seen as holy and healing (also v pretty!)

I read this book while developing my own sense of what female empowerment could look like when un-coopted by patriarchal myths. This book gave me a vocabulary to voice my intuitions, and has led me through hundreds of hours of discussion after putting down the book.

Thank you, @miralunasbooknook @Moray_Reads @youneverarrived and @Cathythoughts for the past few days' #jbuk mail ?
It's years since I posted Christmas cards but I sent a stack out earlier in the week and intend to have the rest ready to post on Monday.
This afternoon we are "doing the tree" etc. ?
