Aventurine, you make our hearts happy. How gorgeous is this gemstone? It is said to welcome wisdom, joy and positive energy, but we are simply captivated by this dreamy colour.

Our Woodland Necklaces are truly from the soul. They are incredibly special to our hearts. We hope you love them as much as we do.

You can find this piece on our website: www.euphoricspiritdesigns.com - It will come on an adjustable cotton cord.

Story time! This is what I learnt from my psychic 'Old Ways' Irish granny;

We called her Granny Cat because every cat for miles around would find their way to her, not for food but for a cuddle and a chat.

She would never spend a penny. If you had any coppers she would swap you a 50p for whatever copper coins you had, not so she could spend them but so she could drill a hole in the coppers and hang them above doorways and windows to keep negative energies out. She would first clean and cleanse the coin in a mixture of lemon juice and herbs and then gently hammer a hole onto the copper coin and thread string through the hole and hang them up. She said the fairies liked them as long as you remembered to leave out a bowl of milk on a full moon.

But nowadays coppers aren't copper. They are copper plated steel.

I have a question for other witches. Do you think I can use my copper coins even if they aren't pure copper? Does anyone else work with pennies?

Mostly I try to forget jerks as soon as possible. However, here are a few memorable awful people. I take jerks to mean a mundane level of evil or asocial behaviour. Real villains, the cackling, black-cape-cad types are another thing, in my opinion.

I find it interesting that…

Tell us about your publishing journey…

My road has been steep yet scenic. I had a bunch of lives (various careers, offspring) before I started devoting myself to writing. At first, and for a very long time, I wasn’t oriented toward publishing. Some of that was about insecurity and some of it was about solidifying a vision for my work. Eventually I became less tightfisted about showing things, and…
