Oh my word, where do I even begin with this amazing and beautifully written book. This book made me have such a different perspective of death, grieving, and prayers/wishes it was truly so beautiful and magical to read and very emotional but so beautiful this has to be one of the best books I have read, and to start, I want to say there will be spoils in this, so I do apologize, but this book is too good not to go into great detail in this review, but this review is also more so an overview and a look at the magical things that happen in this book
To start their are four different goddesses for four different seasons, and at each seasons their are gatherings that are so beautifully written about and so magical
The goddesses are the garudians of the sky during their specific season, and they're also seen as mother nature's daughters
The autumn goddess brings change, and she teaches us there to always be changes in our lives, so we shouldn't ignore them but that we should act on them
The winter goddess brings time rest and time to recuperate she allows rest and ponder so your light body grows, and when your light body grows, so do your senses
The spring goddess brings natural law she also brings change, but the type of change where you let the past go and bring in something positive, like to make a new start, and she allows lifetime to renew itself
The summer goddess brings nurturing and healing with her warmth and light she is here to help heal, and she rewards all who have struggled this season by providing them peace
Now, the stag is a gift from the goddesses who attends all four gatherings to make sure the laws of nature were adhered to the dells
The gathering are something special they happen the first day of the new
season and there are four places they take place for each season the
old wood, the hill of the fairies, lake occasional, and the stones, also known as moon stones, standing stones, or mood stones within these gatherings, there are wishes that are granted, and the wishes are brought to the creatures of the dells by light bubbles, there is also the neutral law where none of the creatures of the dells can harm another creature it is forbidden, so all prey is free from worry for one day as the gatherings are supposed to be a day of peace
As for peaceful places, the stones show different things and life for each creature, and what they need there are thirteen stones, six big and seven small stones, and each stone has a different meaning than you have the wish tree
The wish tree is for you to go to when you need to make a wish or pray for whether it's something you want or need and for each four gatherings, you can make a wish or pray at each gathering when the seasons change the goddess, and the stag will think about granting your wish or prayer and whomever wishes and prayers are picked, you receive them in light bubbles. For example, if your wish or prayer was to see your dead loved ones' light body and speak to them, and the wish is granted. You can see their light bodies of your late family, friends, or husband/wife, and the light bodies will say how they will always be here with you, and when you call that their presence will be there, and they are in sense
Now you may be thinking what a light body is and what is sense. I will start with the light body when born we are put in our hard bodies. When we pass on, we are in our light bodies. Now you can have full light in your
hard body, but when you pass, that is when the light completely takes over and you become your light body and get sent to light land, which is where we all come from to begin with, but light land is just their form of heaven but the stag said something in this book that made me think on the way I was grieving he said, " The end of hard life was natural no matter how it ended and therefore there was a reason for every death just as there was a reason for every life " it made me think how he was right and that there is and was always a reason for it. It doesn't make it less sad or harder, but in this book, it
explains how you will always see them again
As for sense, talking sense or talking in a sense is a way to communicate without talk, but instead, you talk with your minds. You can hear people's thoughts, share pictures, and know what they would say before they said it, it also gives you the ability to speak to animals sense can also be mother nature speaking to you but don't worry be sense can be turned off and on
As we wrap up on this book review, I want to talk about grandma's special place where she'd said to things that
were so beautiful to me her place was the moonwater falls, and she had said, " I believe that if you give your prayers to the water, it carries them away,". She also had something about if you if you tie ribbons to the trees your prayers or messages can carry on inthe wind and be brought to a new and different place, and it gave me such a new perspective on a way to pray and send my messages to light land or heaven, and I found it beautiful
But the dip-n-dells is such a magical place, and what I stated isn't even all of it, but it is so incredible. Please read it if you are struggling with grief or if you want a new perspective on the afterlife. It is truly so beautiful
And please, this is just my personal opinion and thoughts, no hate at all. Don't get mad, xo💕

A beautiful book. I’ve flagged many pages. Very surprisingly, I began the book on Sept. 17, which is the main character’s birthday. His sister’s birthday was April 12, which is my mom’s birthday. (Both are in now in the place beyond the thin space.) I love the way spirit is brought to life through the Dells, with its rules, dangers, mysteries and harmonious moments.
The writing was gentle, perhaps meant for a young adult? Regardless, the concepts and the story were beautiful. I related to many small details and larger lessons. I will recommend this book for those whose hearts need something to hold on to.

This is an inspiring story of how nature teaches us about the cycles of life and death.
I loved the characters, including the animals and how the author skilfully describes their mannerisms. If you love dogs I’m sure you will especially appreciate it.
Nature never ceases to amaze us, and this book is a perfect testament to that. It's a beautiful reminder of the incredible wonders that surround us every day, waiting to be discovered and appreciated.

A good story
I’ve listened to the author for years teach mediumship and his oracle cards. This is the first time I heard him write a book not about mediumship. It is a good story about a child learning about the spirit world around us. It's a good story with many good lessons for everyone. The kids who heard it liked it and would like to hear more by this author.

Where do I even start. I had a really difficult loss at Christmas time and this book just helped me so much. I loved the characters and set up so much and it was just a beautiful story. Gordon smith, you did a great job ❤️🩹

I enjoyed the subject matter of the book and how nature is alive and can heal. For me personally I had a problem with how it was written. It seemed to read more like a children’s book but I’m not sure if that was the authors intention.
