Graeme K. Talboys Livres

The world is finally recovering from the effects of pandemic, war, and economic collapse. Disease is still rife, people still starve, and the peace is fragile. Yet humanity still strives for the stars, taking its first steps along the path of interplanetary exploration. And with them, both on and off the battlefields, robots have an increasing role. Not everyone is happy with this, including some of the machines…This novel is based, with permission, on an original story and audio-script by Sheriden Starr with additions by Lee Potts of Omenopus. It is not a straightforward retelling of the story recounted in the album (The Archives – Omenopus – Monty Maggot Records ‎– MMCD009). It is an interpretation of events, an offering of back story, and an exploration of some of the dilemmas posed by the original tale.

Graeme K Talboys has been Druid for a long time. An encounter with a spirit in a beech grove fifty years ago convinced him that the eye rarely sees all there is to see. A few years later he realised there were ways to discover more about those other worlds amongst the trees. The word Druid didn't drift into his consciousness until he was a teenager, but by then he was already exploring the Forest and fascinated by the history and archaeology of ancestral Celts. Since then, Graeme has been a teacher in schools and museums. He now writes, passing on what he has learned through fiction and non-fiction. He spent some time in a Druid Order, completing their formal training, but is much more comfortable exploring the Forest on his own. Since 2001 he has administered the Hedge Druid Network with fellow Druid, Julie White.

Divided into three sections, this book is designed to provide an introduction to the Druid Way based on a Celtic metaphysic. It examines the history of the Druid Way, the metaphysic that gives it continued life, the philosophical concepts of the Druid Way, as well as the importance of the Matter of Britain in understanding what it is to be Druid.

Following the success of their highly acclaimed and bestselling work, the Path through the Forest – a Druid Guidebook , the authors now present this companion volume. Written from experience, it provides a discussion of and an introduction to Druid ritual for solo practitioners and Groves alike, along with sample rituals for the eightfold year, rites of passage, and other aspects of everyday life. All ritual is a focus. It situates you at a moment and a place outside time and space where your relation to specific and distinct aspects of the world are clarified. It marks real and often intimate events of enormous consequence; and by marking these events, we allow them to mark us – binding us to the Sky, to the Land, and to the Sea from which they all derive. The essays in this book provide a useful look at what ritual consists in and the nature of its varying relation to us and the world. These are supplemented by practical tips, explanations, and clearly presented rituals and prayers. There is also a brief discussion of the nature of the Otherworld and the continuing journey of the soul.

In a world where the gods are on the brink of extinction, their once-thriving realm is also in peril. While the Garden remains seemingly untouched, the surrounding lands suffer from failing rains and advancing deserts. The desperate cries for help are swallowed by the winds, hinting at a looming catastrophe that threatens both divine and mortal existence.

Free your home from clutter and enjoy the benefits of a more organized life with this practical guide! A master class and lookbook in one, The Home Edit is filled with bright photographs and detailed tips, from placing plastic dishware in a drawer where little hands can reach to categorizing pantry items by color (there's nothing like a little ROYGBIV to soothe the soul). Above all, it's like having your best friends at your side to help you turn the chaos into calm. Ready to begin organizing your home? Then scroll up and grab your copy now!
