The Runes of Earth by Stephen Donaldson

The Runes of the Earth (The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Book 1) The Runes of the Earth by Stephen R. Donaldson


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
I can't believe it has been 20 years since I read the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.



This is the first book in the last Thomas Covenant series and I'm totally hooked. I want more, and more, and more... The characterization, the setting... again, superb. Utterly brilliant - as I have come to expect from this writer.



Stephen Donaldson is one of the writers who inspired me to become a writer.



This is one author who's books I can pick off the shelf at random and, without even looking, know I'll thoroughly enjoy it.

Un4Seen Art Exhibition

Great news on the Art front.

My first local exhibition will be on in September with three other contemporary artists: Fillian Fytch, Robynne Ilott-iiama and Kaye Watt. It's going to be super colourful, and very, very different to any exhibition many local people will have ever seen. It will be interesting to see how it all goes.


Check out our colourful invitations below, specially designed for us by
Louise Einersen, a local graphic designer. As you can see, Louise had to work really hard to fit all four of us into a "one-artist" space.

If you're in the North East area at that time, please drop in and have a look around at our work.

Gypsy Stone Dukkering

Casting the Stones

Long before the Tarot became synonymous with fortune telling, Gypsies used the natural world around them to help them see into the troubled hearts of those who came seeking knowledge and guidance.
River stones, gems, crystals, sticks, needles and bones were often used by the dunkerer [dukkerer] or palm reader.
I love using my own set of river stones that I personally hand picked and charged with healing energy.
When I read, I'm not so much telling a fortune, as looking into the heart of the energy surrounding the person I'm reading for. I believe this gives a more accurate insight into what is at the heart of a problem or situation and can provide real, down to earth ways of helping people deal with what life sometimes throws at them.
Casting the stones is something I love and I hope to continue with my readings for as long as life will allow.
