A lifelong pagan, I have always had an abiding love for trees – their calm beauty and eloquent silence. I grew up on a family farm in southern Ontario and have lived most of my life in Toronto, with a five-year sojourn in Vancouver. Both cities are graced with a multitude of parks, ravines and waterways. After years of unsuccessfully seeking a divination system that would evoke the allure of these mighty denizens of Earth, I realized I would need to create my own system. The Talking Forest runes are the result of more than a decade and a half of hard work. I hope that this new array mirrors the magnificence of the trees that nourish and guard our world.
