Produktbeschreibung

The island of Inishrún, small and forbidding, holds a deeply protected secret. The sidhé, a magical race as old as the earth, also known as fairies, live there. This is their final stronghold in a world that has forgotten them aged only by human cruelty. Holly Tremenhere, jaded and disillusioned by the ordinary world, travels across the wild sea from the coastal village of Weaey Bay, to the island on the second-to-last ferry before winter closes the crossing. She is there to unravel the mystery of who she truly is and the only living person who can tell her is her beautiful, estranged aunt, Mim. What Holly does not know is that some men will do anything for greed. Some she thinks are untrustworthy are good, and not all dogs are just dogs. She is about to be thrust into the heart of a mystery, a time out of legend and an inheritance that will forever change her; one that culminates in a magical but deadly redemption and a journey in time where love reunites. Including an Author's Note on the usurpation of indigenous lands and the entirety of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, this fairy tale is unique.

Autorenporträt

Writer, psychic, initiator and master storyteller, de Angeles has been in print since 1987."I am a twig upon a vast tree within that forest. A medicine woman in this body, I re-skin your bones in my one way. Ancestral way. Truthteller way. I am Celt. A priteni (inked) person whose ancient lineage is a thick, gnarled tap-root, unbroken through the ages, beyond bus drivers, and women institutionalized for speaking their spells, from workers dying of the lung disease from the linen factories, or the coal mines, to tillers-of-the-soil and landed gentry through necessity and greed. Down the roots of the blood in my veins, like the spiders in the caves beneath the World Tree..."de Angeles Brave for the Unclaimed PeopleDe Angeles is a scholar of linguistic anthropology and holds a post-graduate degree in Professional Writing. She teaches the rewilding of consciousness through both spoken and written word, and a technique of deep listening. The "English" language is a tapestry of many past/extant language sources, some religious, some political, many misrepresented in modern relationships, both personal and professional. The correct useage and understanding of communicationn allows for the recognition of propaganda, cultural theft and consciousness-programing: Gaslighting.There usually tends to be a power dynamic when gaslighting happens, explains Dr. Robin Stern. The manipulator holds enough power that "the target of the gaslighting is terrified to change up [the relationship] or step out of the gaslighting dynamic because the threat of losing that relationship - or the threat of being seen as less than who you want to be seen as to them - is quite a threat," says Stern, author of THE GASLIGHT EFFECTBACKSTORYFormerly known as LY DE ANGELES, Lore is the name chosen, upon being released from being an owned human, in 2020, by the Supreme Court of NSW, Australia; Lore is not so much a name as a function. De Angeles was trafficked as an infant, and experienced natal alienation due to the calculated ignorance of the strangers to whom she was sold. She is an advocate of many practices from tarot to articles and immersive trance/shamanic-style workshops.NATAL ALIENATION, usually affecting those known as First Nation peoples, also denies those with pale-pelts a true identity through denial of ancestry and cultural identity through forced adoption and trafficking.REWILDING CONSCIOUSNESSDe Angeles is an elder, an scáthán draíochta, wild medicine practitioner, wordcrafter and scholar. She is director and advisor to Albion & Arctic Indigenous Alliance, a not-for-profit confederacy promoting awareness of both modern and intergenerational affiliations and culture, promoting joy, recognition, and information relevant to all those who are almost lost, and as a means of sharing with those of other indigenous groups.ANCESTOR LORELore de Angeles is an indigenous Celtic/Scandinavian knowledge-holder, drú-wit trained, and maintaining strong genealogical taproots to an Irish and Breton ancestry. She is learned in the landscapes and story of these living people and species; is a scholar and a defender of culture, language, freedom of speech, gender diversity, equality, parity, homeland and right-to-respect.De Angeles is descended, also, from peoples erroniously called Irish gypsies. A Traveler culture known as na lucht siúil. Through circumstance and theft of her animal body she regretfully does not speak her native tongues.ACCOLADESCOVR, USA.
