The Wisdom of Wood, Volume 1 – Hazelnut
For eighteen years, Samuel Alexander has been on a quest to decipher the mythology behind an ancient ring he discovered in England, and the prophecy connecting it to the Ogham Tree Alphabet. But when Samuel is struck with a massive heart attack, he has no option but to shove the ring, and his research journal, into his daughter’s unsuspecting hands. And with his dying breath, Samuel cries out his granddaughter’s name. Eight-year-old Sophie inherits a ring and a story she knows nothing about, as well as a prophecy she is intended to fulfill. But, not until the age of twenty-one will she accept her destiny, and travel the journey mapped out in her grandfather’s journal. Enter Sophie’s world, filled with mythological characters that lay claim to her soul, and watch as she transforms them, and herself, and in the process reawakens the long-lost Wisdom of Wood.
Reader Reviews
” I have been intrigued with ancient Celtic wisdom as well as the language of trees, and the role the ancient archetypes still play in our everyday lives. The Wisdom of Wood (Vol. I: Hazelnut) interweaves these themes into a modern-day adventure that alternates between the real and the unseen, this world and the Otherworld.”
Charlotte H. Berney
“This fast-paced novel invites the reader into the magical realm of living archetypes. I loved the authors weave of myth, history and family individuation, it reads fast and deep. The phrasing is lively and the characters captivating. I look forward to the next volume.”
Jerry
“I think this book is best for readers who enjoy being swept up in myth and who don’t mind when the line between story and symbol blurs. If you like Joseph Campbell or Marion Zimmer Bradley, you’ll probably find yourself right at home. For me, it was enchanting.”
