A Wirral Otherkin Trilogy

Have you encountered any faeries while wandering the ancient woods and heathery moor of Caldy Hill? While sitting by a dark and peaty pool cradled by mighty oaks and rustling rowans, were you startled by a sudden hush, when all the birds ceased singing and even the restless breezes from the yawning mouth of the Dee fell still?

It is just possible that a faerie may have been passing by. I don’t mean the kind of cartoon “fairy” with a sparkly tutu and gossamer wings. They’re just make-believe. I mean the real, ancient kind of faerie; the kind who can enchant with a glance and whose beauty might steal your heart, if not your soul.

Did you know that the seals which congregate on Hoyle Bank beyond Hilbre Island have a secret other-life? And do you know the real reason why the sea never returned to Parkgate harbour?

Further clarification can be obtained by reading A Wirral Otherkin Trilogy, which was published this week by Amazon.

This trio of Dark Fantasy stories consist of Frog, New Year’s Day and Swap, which are all set on Wirral. Our peninsula has, of course, a rich and colourful heritage from its Celtic, Viking, Roman and Norman settlers. Each of these diverse peoples had their own sets of beliefs and mythologies, and it is from this wealth of folklore that I draw many of ideas for my writing.

A Wirral Otherkin Trilogy is available only from Amazon as part of their Amazon Shorts program, which offers a diverse choice of fiction and non-fiction works, sized from 2,000 to 10,000 words in length. These can be downloaded for only $0.49 (which is approximately 25p in British money), giving the reader an economical taster of an author’s work.

A Cure for Aging?

"All that we profess to do is but this, - to find out the secrets of the human frame; to know why the parts ossify and the blood stagnates, and to apply continual preventatives to the effort of time. This is not magic; it is the art of medicine rightly understood. In our order we hold most noble -, first, that knowledge which elevates the intellect; secondly, that which preserves the body. But the mere art (extracted from the juices and simples) which recruits the animal vigour and arrests the progress of decay, or that more noble secret which I will only hint to thee at present, by which heat or calorific, as ye call it, being, as Heraclitus wisely taught, the primordial principle of life, can be made its perpectual renovator...."

Ancient Rock Carving in Stapledon Woods, Wirral.

Richard on top of the rock, to give an idea of its size. This strange carving can be found on the Caldy side of Stapledon Woods, facing farm fields which are separated from the wood by a low sandstone wall with a castellated top. In summer, the rock face is hidden from casual view by trees covering the slope which leads up to it from the path running alongside the sandstone wall. Has anyone got any information about this carving - what it is, its age and purpose? I've been given several theories; one that it was made for shelter, (which seems dubious as it wouldn't work very well); or that it was somekind of ancient relinquary relating to pre-Xtian religious beliefs. Any further ideas or documented evidence would be most welcome.
