HOW ANIMALS TALK William J. Long
by: William J. Long
Only Back soon! £15.99
This is a captivating new edition of the classic text that first explored the telepathic abilities of wild animals. How Animals Talk explores the phenomenon of vocal, silent, and even motionless communication among animals. From crow talk to instant herd communication, we discover that animals are much more intelligent, emotional, and moral than we have traditionally thought - and that their ability to sense the presence of other living beings is an innate ability shared by humans as well, although in many of us it has diminished through lack of use. Written by the famous American naturalist William J. Long in 1919, and now with new forewords by Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Bekoff, the observations and wisdom shared here will speak to many of us who feel increasingly drawn to rediscover our sanity in nature!

PILGRIMAGE WITH THE LEPRECHAUNS by Tanis Helliwell
£7.51 £17.00
Having met the leprechauns in a cottage on the west coast of Ireland, in this sequel Tanis leads a tour of the country’s sacred sites, which unsurprisingly (with leprechauns present!) subsides into chaos. At least, that is, according to outward appearances: on another level the students on the pilgrimage actually learn valuable lessons about life, because of the spirit of the “Craic” which prevails in Ireland. The “Craic” is known to most of us as the impulse and energy of having a good time, but the leprechauns teach us about it as a spiritual principle also. These elementals, who are all around us, just have a different way of doing things!

SUMMER WITH THE LEPRECHAUNS by Tanis Helliwell
£14.99
It’s a return to Cygnus of this much-loved classic where popular Canadian teacher Tanis Helliwell tells of the time in 1985 that she spent sharing her home with a family of leprechauns. The stories and anecdotes she relates are fun and recreate the magical atmosphere of rural Ireland. Through them we learn a great deal about all elemental life, not just leprechauns, but including the more familiar fairies and elves – what we can do for them and they for us. You may be sceptical about their existence but life is undoubtedly enhanced when we allow these amazing presences into our lives!

FERTILE EDGES by Maddy Harland
£9.95
Published in celebration of 25 years of Permaculture magazine, this collection of writings offers several snapshots from the frontline of the battle to maintain and beautify this planet, this home of ours. Maddy is a long-term friend of Cygnus and, like so many of the books listed here, hers offers encouragement and practical advice on how we truly can lead our lives in a way that’s better for ourselves and for all life. Her writing is outstanding and shows a profound connection to the land – as she herself says, to the “fertile edges” where things are wilder and a bit more interesting.
