Walker: How it starts...

The worlds and wisdom behind the book. Thursday, 15 March 2012. Hunter McKenzie kicked the guitar amp and stalked off set. 8216;That was bloody crap,’ he said, unstrapping his bass guitar and slinging it in its case. ‘They’re gonna crucify us.’. Sam and Christian ground to a discordant halt. Max, the drummer, carried on, lost in his own world. Sam prodded his shoulder. ‘Meltdown time again,’ he said with a shrug. Max let his sticks drop. ‘Oh you’re freaking kidding me. What now? 8216;You mean me. The doo...

Walker: The real Kitnor
http://shamanstory.blogspot.com/2010/01/real-kitnor.html
The worlds and wisdom behind the book. Wednesday, 6 January 2010. Not that far from where I live there is a tiny hamlet called Culbone. It is one of my most favourite places in the world, one of those places that is just extra-special, with a soul all of its own. I turned a few pages and everything slammed into place. No wonder I thought this was a special place – it was and is a special place. I hope Joan won’t mind me quoting from her booklet. Culbone – A Spiritual History. Spiritual sanctuaries or tem...

The worlds and wisdom behind the book. Monday, 23 April 2012. Wellnot quite. But in the last couple of days I've seen a couple of vids that show the inspiration for Walker. Pretty darn well. Can landscape be a muse? Oh I think so. The first is a music vid made by a local film-maker, Conor Purcell. His vid shows the many moods of the moor beautifully - and stars some deeply cute Exmoor ponies. Mind you, I don't envy Guy his dip in the sea - not at this time of year! Mike and the Mechanics. Are there reall...

Walker: January 2010

The worlds and wisdom behind the book. Wednesday, 20 January 2010. What is your power animal? One of the most fabulous things about shamanism is finding your own power animal. When you ‘journey’ into the other worlds you can meet guides who can offer help, advice, healing. In the ‘lower’ world these tend to be animals or birds and occasionally (though less commonly) reptiles or insects. When people read Walker. When I first learned about shamanism, I took a beginner’s course with The Sacred Trust. Note: ...

Walker: Why the Ferish speak Anglo-Saxon
http://shamanstory.blogspot.com/2010/01/why-ferish-speak-anglo-saxon.html
The worlds and wisdom behind the book. Wednesday, 6 January 2010. Why the Ferish speak Anglo-Saxon. I absolutely love the Ferish – the tough warrior Fairyfolk of Walker. Exmoor has a lot of legends about fairies but I knew from the start that my fairies weren’t sweet little Tinkerbell types, no sirree. They sprang pretty well fully-formed in my imagination. Apart from the tails. A writer friend of mine, Cheryl, said they needed tails and I realised immediately that she was right. The Ferish can speak mod...

Walker: Walker in images
http://shamanstory.blogspot.com/2012/03/walker-in-images.html
The worlds and wisdom behind the book. Thursday, 15 March 2012. Images are hugely important to me as a writer. I see scenes in my head and then just let my hand write them down, trying to translate what I see, hear, smell, touch into words. So Pinterest, a place where you can 'pin' images is a huge boon to me as a writer. It's a place where I can pull together all the images that inspire me. And, even better, I can show you a little of what's inside my head when I write. Anyhow, here's a little taster.

Walker: December 2009
http://shamanstory.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The worlds and wisdom behind the book. Tuesday, 29 December 2009. How to read a stone (DIY fortune-telling). On their way to Cow Castle, Hunter, Rowan and their Ferish companions stop by a stream to eat. Rowan decides to ask a stone for guidance and finds out that danger lies ahead. Reading a stone is the shamanic version of reading tea leaves, I suppose. This is an excerpt from Tabitha Greenway’s book, in which she explains how to read a stone. Try it! ASKING A QUESTION USING A STONE. Go outside into na...

Forget the tarot, the runes, the I Ching - learn how to tell your future by reading a stone at http:/ ping.fm/nnLY5. 4 January 2010 at 10:50. Ooh, I love things like this! Ooh, have also got (almost) rude word as word verification - perhaps someone somewhere thinks Im being facetious. Funny how these odd coincidences happen.). 12 January 2010 at 06:48.
