Thank you for this beautiful praise of place and home-- I think of the Scottish Gaelic word "dùthchas" in your meditation here. A word that conveys a deep connection with one's birth place, to the land. I also appreciate your historical reminder of the presences of Celtic people in what we call "England."

Greetings dear Sharon, I would love to be a paid subscriber, unfortunately I haven’t figured how to do that. Could you help and forward me the “how too”. I appreciate you, Geraldine

I was born and raised in Hartlepool too and still live in the North East - it’s one of the things that I feel connects me to your words and writing and your dedication at the beginning of Hagitude made me cry ❤️. I’m excited to read more about your thoughts and experiences in Hearth ✨

So much exciting news this month! Can't wait for the first oracle deck to be available. And I gasped when I read about your collaboration with Amanda Clarke!!

I love Whitby. I was on the front of a Whitby Travel Journal many years ago at a Viking event. I drove a coachload of Vikings and Anglo Saxons there as I was the only one with a clean license!

Also, the story of Persephone was one of the first of the myths I illustrated. Love Hecate, Psyche and Persephone... and their spiritual adventures! xx

I have been looking forward to your book on Place/home and eagerly await its publication in 2025. The oracle cards are beautiful! And as a Hearth member I will say it is well worth it and urge others to join!

Well Sharon. I too am excited about Hearth. My family are from the NE and when I did my DNA it showed all my English blood to be from the borders down to North Yorkshire. It feels like home to me there, and although Ireland is my home now, I feel different when I’m in the North East. It was good to hear about your trip to Whitby My paternal grandmother lived there and all my childhood holidays included time in Whitby. I love it. Your writing brought back happy memories. Did you have Trillos ice cream?

I agree, the Gododdin are definitely still here - I consider myself one of them too, and am SO excited for Hearth when the time comes!
