Book Launch at Tintagel – March 2024

The twelfth of March was an auspicious day as the second part of my life journey was released in book form. It takes a huge amount of time, effort, focus and discipline from an author to complete a book. The publishing companies also work hard to produce them. When the day of completion eventually arrives it feels rather surreal!

It was wonderful to have Blake and Wycke Malliway from Crossed Crow Books attend the launch while they were visiting the UK from Chicago.

Their excitable energy and infectious smiles lift the spirits of those around them. It is truly a pleasure to be in their company.

Lorna who owns the Healing Star in Penzance has been a constant support. She attended the event and set up a stall to provide books along with some of her magical items.

A delightful group of people arrived at the Wooton Inn to support me despite the typical Cornish weather on yet another wet and windy day. 

One person who I have a special connection with is Vicki, the first person to invite me to a psychic development circle twenty-eight years ago when I attended my first workshop at a spiritualist church in Kent.

It was the my first time at a spiritualist church. She is mentioned in my first book and I was delighted to discover she had moved to Cornwall.

Others who attended this event have since become good friends and I appreciate their genuine support.

 

 

 

Speaking about my journey and the books I have published flows easily, as I do not see it as a formal talk, it feels more like an informal ‘chat’, encouraging the group to ask questions and make comments whenever they wish. 

Cassandra sat nearby and said I did splendidly and she is proud of me. I am grateful for her constant support throughout the last fifteen years. 

After a wonderful afternoon, Blake and Wycke wined and dined Cassandra and I at the Tintagel Brewery Bistro. The evening that followed was full of fun and intriguing conversation.

So there you have it, both books are now published.  What an exciting journey it has been!

Both books are available from Crossed Crow Books, the Healing Star and Amazon.

The Narcissistic Witch

Unfortunately this trait seems to be a growing problem, Cassandra and I have had clients consult us who are targeted by such people. I have included a link to the following article which is accurate in its explanation and warns of the personality traits to look out for when seeking friends or groups within the Pagan community.

The Cyberbully within Paganism

I am bringing attention to this excellent article from the site of Sorita D’Este as this matter has become a huge problem within the Pagan Community. Cassandra and I have also received this type of immature behaviour from some, also friends of ours have been targeted.

Are Friends who Associate with your Enemy Trustworthy

In my experience this scenario is fraught with difficulties……..

It’s a familiar story. A group of three or more friends, having the best of times. Then two of those three friends begin a feud and the third, innocent party is stuck to choose. We’ve all been there and I know from personal experience it’s hard to tell whether or not you can trust a friend who is friends with your enemy. It’s also hard to be friends with two people who hate each other.

For the innocent party who just wants to be friends with everyone, it’s really hard. I personally don’t know if it’s possible because I’ve never seen it work out. You’re going to like one friend more than the other, or you’re going to accidentally betray one or the other friend and they’re going to turn on you.
I understand wanting to keep your friends, but unless you can be perfect and schedule the same amount of friend dates for the same amount of time, while also not becoming the middle person for their petty vendettas, it just isn’t going to work and someone is going to end up losing.

Understanding Scapegoating.

Here is another subject clients in this position consult us about. Cassandra and I have been scapegoated in the past ourselves, which enables us to help them.

The ego defence of displacement plays a role in scapegoating, in which uncomfortable feelings such as anger, frustration, envy and guilt are displaced and projected onto another. It is often the more vulnerable, person or group. The scapegoated target is persecuted, providing the person who inflicts the scapegoating not only with a conduit for their uncomfortable feelings, but also with pleasurable feelings of piety and self-righteous indignation. The creation of a villain necessarily implies that of a hero, even if both are purely fictional.

Some would say that Satan the Devil was used as a Scapegoat for sins and interestingly they also depict his image as half man half goat.
