Series: The Touchwood Chronicles

The Touchwood Chronicles blurs the lines between reality and the otherworld.

A book trilogy rich with Celtic lore and New Age spirituality. The author creates a world which is a synthesis of an ecological and holistic world view, together with breaking scientific developments. Incorporating personal anecdotes in a semi biographical novel which is entertaining, educating and spiritually awakening. Book two in the Touchwood Chronicles series. Corin has achieved his dream of living a self-sufficient lifestyle, in an isolated part of Ireland. There he meets a fellow druid who has spent his life living off the land. The comely High Priestess from book one continues to mentor him, but she reveals she is working a magical path that seems older than time.

But Corin is plagued by troublesome dreams and is convinced someone, or 'something' is trying to contact him with increasing urgency. In desperation he consults a mysterious alchemist living on the druid isle of Anglesey, who is not all he seems to be. It is his first foot, into the door of a world that few people knew existed. Yet it is in plain sight, if only your heart is open to it.

These are the real-life confessions of a modern-day Wiccan who later went on to establish the Australian Collage of Druidry, which was dubbed by the press as the Australian real-life Hogwarts. But which is true, and which is fiction? You decide.

Reviews for The Touchwood Chronicles: The Velum Scroll

Both of us recognized many of the elements of this book straight away. This is a story familiar to anyone who has walked the pagan path. A story based on genuine reminiscence mixed with fiction, entertaining, educating and spiritually awakening. We highly recommend it for the beginner to the path, and the seasoned walker with the scars from blisters on their spiritual feet. Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone. Lecturers and Authors; A Witches Bible, The Inner Mysteries and Lifting the Veil. A fascinating account of one man's journey to find his path and how he became a Wiccan High priest. It contains material not often found in other accounts including aspects of magic and sexuality. Steve Jones: founder of Oakleaf Camps
