Welcome 

I am a lover of myth, legend & fairy-story & over the years have adapted & set to music numerous tales of wonder and enchantment from around the world including The Celtic Quest for the Grail - Sir Gawain & the Green Knight - The Six Swans - Vassilsa the Beautiful & many more.
I have written two books - The Little Goddess & The Dark Moon & present lectures & workshops on related topics.  I publish a blog and upload content to YouTube every month. My wish is to material that inspires & sooths the soul.  
I am married & have two daughters & live in the UK.

Wisdom from Myth, Legend & Fairy-story
for Times of Uncertainty & Transformation

Join us as we explore
THE HERO & HEROINE’S JOURNEY
The path begins at our bleakest moment. If we are lucky we will hear the call and instead of collapsing we will set off in quest of the first chink of light and onward into the unknown, searching and gathering with each step we take.
It will not be easy. This is the quest of heroes & heroines, the brave and courageous … the ones who have gone before and returned with their great stories so that we, through contemplation, might be guided through our own dark night of soul.
In deepening our understanding our beloved tales might reveal themselves as the precious gifts they are - like Galadriel's Light given to Frodo as he sets forth from Lothlorien on his perilous quest.
 "May it be a light for you in dark places, says she, where all other lights have gone out."

LA DIVINA COMMEDIA - Dante Alighieri -
IN QUEST OF PARADISE

“Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.”
―Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

 A masterpiece of medieval literature!
 Ground-breakingly written in Italian not Latin.
 Beloved of the people.
 A political satire of the day exposing corruption in Church & State.
 But most of all a love story to equal that of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet & the tale of an archetypal journey into the darkest realms of the psyche in quest of freedom & spiritual illumination.
 Join us as we peer into the mystery of Dante’s greatest work.
 
All Welcome

Ancient Mythology of Ireland
The Days of the Tuatha Dé Danann & the arrival of the Celts in Ireland

It was at the dawning of the world when the fair folk walked in broad daylight as bold as you and I, before the coming of the Milesians with their bitter iron blades and earthen ways, it was the time when magic was wrought and druidry had power, when heroes gave battle to gods and the titanic children of Seth still troubled the dreams of Heaven, it was the age of the Tuatha Dé Danann and their four great treasures!
