Pathworking & Creative Visualisation

(with Pete Sawyer)

What is it, how do you do it, what elements should go into a pathworking and how can you use it? The answers are all clearly explained here.

A pathworking is a guided meditation using creative visualisation, but it can be used practically in so many ways as well as developing a person’s spiritual path. Healing, relaxing, practising life skills or simply enjoying yourself are just a few of the benefits. This book gives straight practical advice on all of those as well as on forming a pathworking group, delivering meditations and constructing your own paths.

THE WOODWOSE OF SUFFOLK & BEYOND: a pictorial guide.

(Gruff, 2019)

A woodwose is a full-bodied wild man figure, mostly found carved in stone or wood and particularly concentrated within Suffolk churches. They are also found in other counties and countries across Europe. The figure is usually seen as naked but covered with hair and a long beard, grasping a club. There are occasionally female woodwose found as well. Woodwose can be wild and exuberant or stationery and sentient but they are always enigmatic and a part of that dark ‘other’ world.

Variants of woodwose include having a shield, standing, sitting, kneeling or having crossed legs. They can also be seen fighting a dragon or being attacked by a lion. Very occasionally they may ride a horse or other animal. Sometimes they just get into your head and stay there!

THE BORDERS OF AELPHAME

(Gruff, 2019)

Retired art teacher Alfred Baldwin has a big secret: the elves that live beneath his rural Suffolk studio. They are descended from those who came over with the Anglo Saxons and live to about 600 years old. Then they come to him with a problem that only he can help them with, and their future safety depends on it.

Join him as he cycles the East coast of Suffolk and the county border with Norfolk, whilst dark forces do their worst to hinder or destroy them. He has a smattering of Old English language and history, cheese, maps, and his wits to protect him.

As in the previous book ‘Adventures in Aelphame’ there are copious end notes on place name origins, folklore, history and quirky facts. You do not need to have read that book first to understand or enjoy this one.

A CACOPHONY OF CORVIDS: the mythology, facts, behaviour and folklore of ravens, crows, magpies, rooks and their relatives.

(Gruff, 2017)

Birds that show empathy, make and use tools, problem solve and recognise faces: no wonder corvids are at the heart of many myths and folk tales.

From their role in keeping Britain safe at the Tower of London to the companions of the Viking god Odin; this unique illustrated look at the enigmatic world of ravens, crows, magpies, rooks and their cousins should give you food for thought, and a new understanding of what makes them the most special of birds.

A humorous novel  following the increasingly desperate escapades of an author trying to write his 3rd book. A Voodoo curse, stealing his own manuscript and being accused of being a terrorist are the least of his worries!

"Such a fascinating book absolutely crammed full with history, myth and folklore based around the gods associated with the art of the blacksmith.  Mr Jennings covers the entire globe in search of stories all of which explore these amazing deities.    The ancient art of blacksmith has always struck me as being very magical and this book echoes my beliefs."

Penda, Heathen King of Mercia: his Anglo Saxon world.
(Gruff Books, 2013)

Penda was a dynamic character living in turbulent times. This is the first book dedicated to bringing the scarce references to him together, and providing some balanced investigation into this 7th century enigma. Yes the battles, politics and dynastic struggles are there, but set against the context of the general Anglo Saxon customs of food, dress, slavery, art and competing religions.
Some illustrations & useful timeline appendix.

The Wild Hunt is a brooding mystery spread across Europe and beyond, with many different names and traditional local variants. Explore the Pagan origins, the psychological and religious influences and the Germanic and Celtic forms with their folkloric traditions. When the winter gales howl and the Furious Host rides the storm, understand its meaning and how to work with the concepts.
