SPARKS FROM THE FLAGSTONES by Edwina Guckian

“Have you ever danced around the flames on Bonefire Night or set a place at your kitchen table for the dead at Halloween? Have you ever gotten a cure from a 7th son or asked the fairies for permission to build your house? And did you know that animals are the greatest predictor of the weather, or that the crows start to build their nest on the 1st of March?”

Join Edwina as she dances through the Celtic Calendar Year and the importance of ancient Quarter Day customs and old-world Fire Festival traditions at Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine and Lughnasa. Every page of Sparks from the Flagstones is joyfully illustrated by Andrea Rossi.

THE CLAININGS TREE by Gerry Bohan

This book is a social commentary refracted through the prism of traditional customs and practices still alive in Leitrim today. Bohan injects new life into what we thought was long dead.
Positioned on the cusp of a 'New Ireland' and embedded in the Leitrim landscape these stories bring forward and revive ancient lore.
