Description:
Casey Wolf (C. June Wolf) is the author of numerous speculative short stories. Several of these were collected as Finding Creatures & Other Stories, which also includes an introduction by Charles de Lint. Literary, science fictional, slipstream, and fantastic-this medley of stories is grounded in the present day, weaving backward to the life of Saint Francis, and forward to a time when Earth is a memory, and new humans are finding their place among the stars.

Wolf's unexpected approach to story telling interlaces humour, compassion, and a compelling affection for human and nonhuman with a fine-spun unorthodoxy in these understated tales of this world and beyond.

From the Introduction'I want this book to be a success because I want to look forward to reading more new stories by her for many years to come. And so should you.' 

- Charles De Lint, author of The Onion Girl and Dingo.

Endorsement: Wolf's people come alive on the page. She makes them to ache and to dream, to search and sometimes find. They slip through the unseen hinges of life, to emerge into other times, other realms, other skins. And she makes all this happen in a way that draws the reader to follow them. Rich, ripe stuff, with haunting echo of Ray Bradbury's October moods. 

- Matt Hughes, author of The Tales of Henghis Hapthorn.

Description: She is the gateway to inspiration, the eternal sparkling flame.

A Brigit of Ireland Devotional – Sun Among Stars evokes this much-loved Goddess and Saint, drawing on her history, mythology, and traditions, and on the author’s intimate bond with her. Thoughtful essays, a daily devotional practice, and extensive resources make it a useful reference as well as an inspiring text.

From the Introduction:

“Sun Among Stars…is at once contemplative and deeply personal, educational and reflecting the evolution in understanding and belief that we all go through over time. For this alone it is an invaluable addition to the corpus of material on Brigid… Let the goddess or the saint or simply Brigid speak to you through the author’s words as you step into a deeper understanding…” 

Morgan Daimler author of Pagan Portals: Brigid - Meeting The Celtic Goddess Of Poetry, Forge, And Healing Well

 

Endorsements:

It is a unique challenge to bridge the ancient past with the modern, and the Christian with the Pagan, but Mael Brigde does so with ease and grace. She tells the story of Brigid through remarkable poetry that is as much prayer as it is verse. This gorgeous text could be used as a guidebook for a Brigid devotee through different holidays and times of life. A must have for all lovers of Brigid.

Courtney Weber, author of Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess

 

[Mael Brigde's] journey is a deeply embodied one, reflecting insights gleaned during her studies which have become a living part of her ... This work offers a portal into the mysteries of Brigit and the possibility of readers grounding her qualities of compassion, courage, love, wisdom and fearlessness in their own unique ways in their current lives. 

Dolores T. Whelan, author of Ever Ancient, Ever New – Celtic Spirituality in the 21st Century

 

Mael Brigde has meticulously researched the life, myths and legends of Brigit, Goddess and Saint to create this beautiful heartfelt book of contemplative poetry. The prose in her introduction and conclusion are both eloquent and honest. We, the readers, are gifted myriad ways to rekindle the eternal flame of Brigit in our hearts and homes. Míle buíochas – a  thousand thanks."

Dr Karen Ward, author of Moon Mná Ireland, co-editor of Soul Seers - an Irish Anthology of Celtic Shamanism
