Dawn comes early to the island in the summer. Raven opens a keen black eye as a silver hue lightens the cave entrance. With as little sound as possible, Raven drops down from his perch to the floor and swaggers over to The Old Woman’s loom. She has woven a great deal since the last time he ripped her tapestry apart. The fabric is beautiful - the most beautiful she has woven yet - but she is dangerously close to finishing it. While The Old Woman and Little Snake slumber in the dark recesses of the cave, Trickster Raven alights on the loom and boldly thrusts his beak into the tapestry.

I love this so much and can’t wait to read more. To share what our ancestors and elders knew to true, with a sprinkle of what is to come is a gift and pure joy to read. 🙏💫
Thank you so much, Louise! Since time immemorial, humans have learned through stories. I am grateful that you are finding meaning in the tales I weave together with the Anima Mundi.
Oh, thank you for your encouragement, Rhiannon! You are right: fairytales aren't just fanciful stories for children, but lessons for how to live well, and often warnings against being disrespectful of other lives.

I have deep hopes that you will write many many children's books that will teach the adults :-)
