Inspirationand encouragement for this book came from many

sources. I send my heartfelt appreciation to those from the

Otherworld who helped me: the Clan Mothers who whispered

their ancient wisdom; my spirit guides; my guardians; and all my

ancestors who were steadfast in their advice and love.

And to those here on Abred, I offer bushels of fond apprecia-

tion to: my favorite and only brother, Herb Swinhoe, for the

insights he shared from his years of work with teens and, too, for

instilling in me, from my childhood days, the belief that I could

achieve anything; Michael Chapman, for his valuable direction

for this book that came from his humanitarianwork and his long

service as a much-loved counselor to youth; Francyne Laliberte,

for her thoughtful and much-appreciatedgifts, and for the boun-

tiful love she shares through her artistry with natural foods;

Gerrard and Cath McKay, a special thanks for their overwhelm-

ing generosity that saw us safely through the dark side of our

moon; Maureen Hendry, an old-soul friend who walks Abred

and the dreamworld with the ease of a Celtic shaman; Kelly

Moon, for the safe shelter of her magickal cottage where I wrote

happily in the daily company of her ancestral spirits; Mary

Hunter, her Auntie, and a true Clan Mother, who inspires and

gently pushes me when 1 need it; Eroca Ryon, for her undying

faith in the success of my work and for sharing her enchanted

brand of healing magick; Elizabeth Ferguson, who holds my hand

tightly as we walk together in the same direction but on different

paths, Hai-Hair Gillian Browningand Sahana, keepers and healers

of the horse spirits; Sue Stanger, who happily sails down the

Goddess path with a joyful, caring, and compassionate spirit; Judy

Brown, for her constant encouragement, wry observations, and

ready laugh; Gloria Jensen, my fisher-friend, for cheering me on

and buoying my faith in myself; Alison Diakiw, my sister-friend

and supporter, who endured a long healingjourney with Goddess

courage, and triumphed; my excellent healers on Abred, Dr. Marc

Puts, Dr. Steven Edworthy, and Elisia Teixeria, who cheerfully

moved mountains for me; my amazing and accomplished niece

Kelly Ferris, who showed me that Celtic Aunties still have a wel-

come role to play in young women’s lives; Joanne Cherry, and

Katya Karpenko, long-timefriends who have always been there

for me through the many jolting bumps and dangerous curves of

the incredible journey we’ve shared; Christine Ahmad, for her

delightful illustrations of this book and my last, 77be C/an ofthe

Goddess, (New Page Books); my children, JayJohnson, my son,

for his joyful approach to life and for the loving gift of truly believ-

ing in me; Linda Johnson, his wife, a dedicated healer; Melissa

Johnson Mitchell, my daughter, a soul-star who never fails to

brighten darkened skies, and her kind and loving husband, Scot

Mitchell; and, of course, to that vast and talented band of rogues,

artists, and comedians, I’m honored to call my dear friends who

so readily applaud my every accomplishment and thrill my heart

with non-stoplaughter; the terrific Staff at New Page Books, for

their warm professionalism; and, as always, to my personal editor

and the love-of-my-life, the unflappable Billy Johnson.
