Summer with the Leprechauns

Tanis Helliwell, 2011
This endearing book is Helliwell’s memoir of sharing a cottage with Lloyd, the leprechaun. This book takes unexpected turns, with a bit of intrigue and joyous laughter to offset underlying angst at thinking this could be possible. It is heartwarming and filled with possibilities of new realities. Sit back and simply enjoy and pay attention in a different way. Experience everyday magic that exists as close as one’s own breath.

A Biography
Julia Voss, 2022
I love books that feature spiritual acumen. This inspiring biography documents the life of a 19th-century female artist who not only dedicated her life to unique spiritual creativity but created art that predates the Modern Art Movement. Her work is turning art history academics upside down; rewriting art history. The book’s color plates display her mastery of geometry and biology in a manner that only in retrospect can we see her true colors. This book is a meditation, well-researched, and a gift to art history.

Scotland's Hidden Sacred Past

Freddy Silva, 2021
Of all Silva’s books, this one speaks directly to my heart. There are many thought-provoking moments and groundbreaking connections. I admire his relentless tenacity for research. I do love Scottish history, and the notion of tying ancient history to Armenia is fascinating. I also am super careful to take many extrapolations on ancient history with a grain of salt. Yet, Silva weaves a delightful sense of humor into his theories. So, if you want to learn more about your Scottish roots from before Christianity arrived, take a stroll through ancient circles and underground passages from the comfort of your armchair.

The Friar of Carcassonne

Revolt Against the Inquisition in the Last Days of the Cathars
Stephen O'Shea, 2011
This book contains heart-wrenching revelations about the French monarchy, Dominicans, Templars, and conflicts surrounding the beginnings of the Inquisition. It illuminates the dynamics leading up to the fall of the Templars and the torturous tactics monarchs and church used to suppress free will. These destructive societal patterns still echo into the 21st century, where history has merely repackaged these manipulations. This is a wake-up call, lest it happen again to this current generation.

Apollo and Me

Cate Montana, 2019
An unusual novel about an encounter of extraordinary love. The crossing of time and space was delightful and optimistically thought-provoking. I also found myself reconsidering the concepts of the pantheons of old… or have we lost sight of the possibility ancestors influence modern-day life? Regardless, this book is a really fun summer read :~)

The Dragon's Tale

Tanis Helliwell, 2024
This memoir is mind-opening! Tanis’ best book yet. It elevates the concept of dragons, lifting them out of the realm of dismissive diminutive fantasy into new possibilities. Why not? But then Tanis’ writing stretches mental boundaries in all her works. What if imagination holds clues to creating our physical reality? What if?
