The big news is that I have a book out today. This is part of the Earth Spirit series Moon Books are doing - these are books about our relationship with the planet. I consider that an essential part of Paganism. Come to that, it’s an increasingly vital human consideration. This is a book that I intended to be hopeful and encouraging. Climate crisis can inspire a lot of fear and leave people unable to see what to do. I’m offering something action oriented, and a push-back against the idea that we can only save the planet by living joyless lives and not having nice things.
This is a sensibly published book, so copies can be acquired from anywhere that sells books, and bookshops should be able to order them.
I’ve blogged about the new book over here - https://druidlife.wordpress.com/2023/04/28/going-beyond-sustainability/
This weekend I’m involved in a Gloucestershire Steampunk event at Woodchester Mansion. There’s a team performing my mumming play, and it’s my first gig as a duo with Robin Burton. I’m out with The Ominous Folk on Sunday night, and excitingly we’re finishing the set as a much bigger band, with Robin Burton, Jessica Law and Keith Errington joining us. There should be photos next week.
One of my blog posts this week was inspired by the aforementioned Robin Burton - https://druidlife.wordpress.com/2023/04/25/get-passionate-or-go-home/
There’s a whole array of other posts on Druid Life, but this is definitely my favourite for this week.
I’ve got a little piece on island life over on the Hopeless, Maine blog - https://hopelessvendetta.wordpress.com/2023/04/28/hermits/
All being well, during May we’ll get the Ominous Folk album finished, as there aren’t any further events this month. Currently getting all the things done is being a bit thwarted by quite how many things there are to do, which is a silly and delightful position to be in!
Happy Beltain if you celebrate, happy anything else you’re celebrating this weekend.
All the best,
Nimue.

Got your book ordered!
Also, I tried to comment over on WP, but I was having issues on your post about dandelions and joy. Basically, I see you and other bloggers lately mentioning finding or making time for joy. What I personally really need is to find a way to accept the joy I have. These last few years have been immensely difficult in many ways and I feel like I’ve become like hardened soil. I plant seeds for joy and they strangle out or fail to thrive. I wonder if there’s something about difficult times that changes your brain chemistry? Either way, that’s my challenge for joy atm but not an angle I see talked about much.
