We thought it deserved fireworks… so the countdown begins for the release of our new book, Heart of Albion: Tales from the Wondrous Head.
The continuing adventure of Don and Wen, begun in The Initiate of which it has been written: “You have somehow hooked in to the land….Genius. Madness to others – genius to me.”
“…Across the flames is a young woman little more than a child.
Behind her is a guardian, one of those who served the sacred enclosure.
Ever silent except to speak for the Gods.
Tall he stands against the distant glow, present, watchful.
A figure of fear and trust, he is the shield of the young one.
The almost-child weeps tears of molten gold in the fire glow.
Her eyes beg questions, plead for answers… yet they are silent.
The kinship of the three shines in their resolve.
It must be now. There is no more time…”
The Heart of Albion: Tales from the Wondrous Head
by Stuart France & Sue Vincent
What does Jack and the Beanstalk have to do with a spiritual quest? What, for that matter, is the nature of the relationship between Salome and the Jester? Why is Wen conversing with a llama in the Yorkshire Dales? And what links the beautiful and sacred landscape that is the Heart of Albion with Breakfast in Slug Town? These, and many other questions, must be considered as Don and Wen continue the journey begun in The Initiate exploring the shadowy roots of the ancient myths and legends of these Blessed Isles, steering a
perilous path through the murky waters of religious symbolism and iconography.
“If I am consciously following a woman who is about to engage a Llama in conversation, which I certainly appear to be, it does not impinge too negatively upon my thought processes.”
Join them on their continuing quest for knowledge and understanding as they explore the landscape of England and people it with strange creatures and even stranger theories, using sacred intent and guided imagination to penetrate into the mysteries unfolding before them.
A tribute on the Quern
A tribute on the Kneading Trough
A tribute on the Baking Flags
An ounce of gold for every nose
North, South, East or West
of the Wondrous Head…
Illustrated in full colour throughout

Remember to breathe, Sue. I kept finding “blue light” yesterday as I was out taking photos. Sometimes is showed up on the camera but shifted before I took the photo, and in at least 2 beautiful shots it was still there when I clicked and showed up in the finished shot. Always a joy to us to find the orbs, ( and sometimes faces) in the shots. I hope your journey with the new book has also been a journey of finding and discovery. WG

As we breathlessly.. and tearfully.. begin work on book three.. the journey deepens. I know daylight is blue..but when you’ve seen what we are talking about here, you sort of see the difference, don’t you xx

The colors of light- and their resonance with spirit, is one of the more interesting things one begins to see and understand- yes. XX

It is as if the earth itself exudes light that sings to something both within and without.. and resonance is exactly the right concept here. xx

Yes- have you read any of the research on bioluminescense, Sue? We also exude light- not just metaphysically or metaphorically- we exude light- as does every living thing. It is such a wonderful, fascinating place to live, isn’t it? X *

Why wouldn’t we, when the research says we are all made of star-stuff in our beginnings? 🙂
Technology is allowing science to see the unknown… and we live in a time and place that permits us to share the discoveries .. and sometimes smile that science is able to see the true magic at last 🙂 xx

You’re keeping a sense of humor about it, though, and that is good. The “waiting for the mud to settle” part is always a challenge for me.
