Alison made a specific request in the last month of her life. We talked of her passing together and she said that she wanted her friends to use The Pagan Book of Living and Dying to help them cope with her death. Alison had much respect and admiration for the book and its authors. She asked Air & Fire and the Sacred Grove to order many copies of it, so that all her local friends would have access to the wisdom it holds. I have found it very helpful and will continue to open it and read a bit whenever I feel loss overwhelm me. The Pagan Book of Living and Dying is currently available at Air & Fire in Boulder Creek and will be in stock at the Sacred Grove in Santa Cruz no later than the end of June. It is available in most Witch shops and metaphysical book stores as well. Alison told me that she had the easy job and I am sure most of us know what that makes our job. She wanted it to be not so hard, as usual, she was thinking of her community and loving us. -J'té |
