About the authors
Stuart France -writer and mystic,has a deep and practical knowledge of the Western Mystery Tradition, having followed a Path that has taken him hopping through the branches of the Trees of Knowledge and Delight. His astonishing work with symbolism and the interpretation of myth comes from a profound understanding and love of life, laughter and humanity.
After gaining his BA in Philosophy and Literature, and his MA in Creative Writing, this Child of Light studied with OBOD, AMORC, and the Servants of the Light and is now one of the Directors of The Silent Eye School of Consciousness, a modern Mystery School. www.thesilenteye.co.uk
An award winning poet, the author's current works include a retelling of The Mabinogion in "Crucible of the Sun", a unique interpretation of The Gospel of Thomas in "The Living One", and his collaborative books, The Triad of Albion, with Sue Vincent: "The Initiate", "Heart of Albion" and "Giants Dance".
Their collaboration began following an adventure at the ancient White Horse of Uffington and Wayland's Smithy in Wiltshire, where hawks began to lead them on a fantastic voyage of discovery. They have recently begun to work on the third book of their Doomsday series, 'Scions of Albion', due for release early in 2015, ably abetted by a confused small dog who seems somehow to have discovered the secret of the Ball of Power...

Sue Vincent is a Yorkshire born writer currently living in the south of England, largely due to an unfortunate incident with a map, a pin and a blindfold. Raised in a spiritually eclectic family she has always had an unorthodox view on life, particularly the inner life, which is often reflected in her writing, poetry and paintings.
She maintains a popular blog, https://scvincent.com and is currently owned by Ani, the inimitable Small Dog, who has 'written' several books.
Sue lived in France for several years, sharing a Bohemian lifestyle and writing songs before returning to England where the youngest of her two sons was born. She began writing and teaching online several years ago, and was invited to collaborate with Dr G. Michael Vasey on their book, "The Mystical Hexagram: The Seven Inner Stars of Power".
Since then she has published a number of books, beginning with "Swords of Destiny", a magical tale set in the ancient landscape of Yorkshire. Her retelling of the Egyptian myths, "The Osiriad", came shortly afterwards along with "Life Lines" and her latest book, "Midnight Haiku"
.
Sue has a longstanding collaboration with Stuart France. Together they have written the "Triad of Albion", the "Doomsday" trilogy and the "Lands of Exiles" series, as well as creating and presenting residential and landscape workshops.
These books tell a true adventure in a fictional manner. They are at once a journey into the ancient and sacred landscape of Albion and the story of a growing and rather oddball friendship as their adventures stray down the paths of fiction... or do they? These books are accompanied by three volumes of correspondence between 'Don' and 'Wen' that explores their magical world in greater depth.
France and Vincent have also published a number of graphic works together exploring folklore and legend, as well as writing independently. https://franceandvincent.com/
Sue, along with Steve Tanham and Stuart France, is a Director of the Silent Eye School of Consciousness, an international modern Mystery School that seeks to allow its students to find the inherent magic in living and being. https://thesilenteye.co.uk

We learn many things along the way, some of which are important, some are irreverent and many are startling revelations about much that we would take for granted in speaking the English language or visiting the English countryside. The book manages to portray and create a magical and mystical view of the everyday while showing how things can be seen differently if one would only actually look. It is all delivered with a sense of humor that at times is deliciously wicked.
Another enjoyable read and one that has many layers of meaning to decipher yet provides many keys for those who may be seeking to do the deciphering.
