Am really enjoying your "bookish" videos Candy. An have been googling and saving many of your reads to my ever-expanding to be read list. A few years ago, when I still lived in the very snowy west of New York State, I struggled every winter with SAD (seasonal Affective Disorder) The winters up there are long and grey. so...I decided to start collecting and reading anything "winter" themed and amassed a nice collection of books to help me enjoy the season. From science books about snowflakes, poetry (Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost, illustrated by Susan Jeffers) , cozy murder mysteries and beautifully illustrated children's books (like your snow queen). I now live in sunny Florida, but those books still come out each year to remind me that each and every season has its own beauty and value.

Love the Into the Lonely Woods/Somnia pairing. I'd never have thought of them together but they work❤

Your theory is stupendous

Absolutely lovely. I've been thinking about working with candle magic - I'll definitely have to include wax scrying as well. 🕯

It does my Midwest American heart good to see folks enjoying a corn maze and sunflowers way across the pond.🌞 And I will definitely be tuning in to your candle magic video.🕯

This works wonderfully with "The Labyrinth Deck" too! I use them together for inner child work being this deck reminds me of "Ludo" in The Labyrinth.

oh, when you said you hadn't gotten to the woman in white it made me remember something - I read that, and dickens' bleak house, to read lynn shepherd's the solitary house, which sort of knits those two books together. that might be a perfect contemporary read for you. and she also wrote murder at mansfield park, which I also read but I don't know that I realized they have the same protagonist until I just now looked them up, I read them some years apart. I am really stuck in to finishing my TBR but I might just read dracula and lucy undying with you in february - I've never read dracula and I feel as though I should.

This is a fabulous deck, I've been working with it for a few years and find it very...insightful.
