A Celtic Tapestry Release Day Giveaway
Eight authors, eight Celtic festivals...all weaved into one tapestry.
A Celtic Tapestry.
Welcome to the official release of A CELTIC TAPESTRY!
The wheel of the year turns, bringing the joy of spring, the warmth of summer, the richness of autumn, and the merriment of winter. But eight Celtic festivals link these seasons together, bringing with them romance, lust, danger, and even magic. From a city under threat from night-time creatures at Ostara, to a selkie caught by the light of the Lughnasadh moon, to a writer caught in the flames of a fiery goddess at Imbolc.
Eight authors have come together to give their own twist on these festivals, weaving each story with a blend of myth, magic, and contemporary telling…to create A Celtic Tapestry.
Crimson Beat--Elle J Rossi
In Nashville, Ostara night is filled with monsters...and only one woman can take them on.
Beltane Fires--Livia Ellis
Deep in the Irish countryside, a witch takes over as Mother of her coven. Will a 'wink at the moon' love spell give her what she most wants?
Blade's Magic--Carolyn Wolfe
Midsummer celebrations are going as usual for one magical young woman, until she comes into contact with Max Blade--a man from another dimension.
Shore's Edge--Tara S Wood
Lammas beckons in Ireland in the year 1170, bringing with it war. Will one feisty young woman have to marry the man she hates most, or will the Gods bring her another answer?
The Picnic--Elodie Parkes
The woods near Morgan's home are under threat. But will salvation come for the woods--and himself--in the form of a beautiful environmental officer?
Shadows in the Dark--Miranda Stork
A surprising past life regression opens up a new world for one young woman...but it also throws her at the mercy of an unknown Shadow Man.
Magic in Memphis--Hunter S Jones
Memphis. The favourite place of a hard working public-relations employee, whose life is good, but without surprise...until she has a chance meeting with James Wellington on Yule night, throwing her world upside-down.
Brigid's Flame--Laura DeLuca
A writer, depressed at the turns of his career and losing his relationship with his girlfriend, looks to the Gods for inspiration at Imbolc...and finds the goddess Brigid answers his prayers.

Brigid’s Flame is my contribution to the anthology and it was inspired by my patron goddess, Brigid.
She is the goddess of poetry, smith craft and childbirth. In my story, a struggling writer invokes
Brigid on the sacred night of Imbolc to help rekindle his creativity with her
eternal flame. The chant my hero uses in
one I wrote myself and have used many times to help overcome writer's block.
“Brigid, I call you
on this sacred night.
I summon your flame.
I invoke your might.
The words will come.
My mind will soar.
My strength and
confidence will endure.
Goddess Brigid, fill
me with creativity.
As I will it, so mote
it be.”
Here is a simple spell anyone can use along with
the chant to help bring some inspiration into their lives. All you need is a candle (preferably orange
or yellow, but white can also be used), a bowl, and a few ice cubes. If
available, snow or icicles would be even better. Set the items up on your altar or some other
space where you have privacy. Place the ice cubes or snow into the bowl and
light your candle. Stare into the flame
and focus of what you are trying to accomplish. Imagine that the ice is your
creativity. Right now it’s frozen and blocked.
Now see that flame warming the ice, melting away those blocks. Continue
this visualization as you chant the spell.
Once the ice has melted it, drink the water. This is your creativity
flowing freely back into you.
