Some Velvet Morning: Another Tale Of The Blue Panda
Another Tale of the Blue Panda
This gravestone was for a woman alone. Me.
I read it carefully as Hero’s wings encircled me and Ariel still held my hand.
Sacred to the memory of Rev. P. A. V. Ransom, Rector of this parish.
Then there was a date and beneath it one unexpected and three utterly astonishing
Archaeologist
Apostle of Peace.
And underneath those a sickle moon with a star, a cross and a Star of David in a row.
You will do this came the words into my head.
‘Do what?’ I asked, perplexed.
Your destiny. You will do this, was the only reply.
Bella Ransom returns for her greatest to find the First Temple of the Hebrews and see if it can bring peace into the world. No dogs die in this one, promise.

About the author
Maggy Whitehouse
41 books13 followersRev. Maggy Whitehouse teaches Kabbalah, Bible Metaphysics, Soul Wisdom, Abundant Living and HeartWork: Spiritual Marketing in workshops across the UK, USA and Europe. She is the author of 16 published books including ‘Total Kabbalah, ’ ‘From Credit Crunch to Pure Prosperity’ and the best-selling 'Miracle Man' (O-Books), a novel about a modern-day messiah who is a judge on the US X Factor. Imagine a Simon Cowell figure as Christ!
Her other fiction and non-fiction books include practical and easy-to-understand guides to Kabbalah, the Spiritual Laws of Prosperity and the life and times of women in Biblical times.
Maggy trained as a journalist and has worked in print media, radio and television including the BBC World Service. She was the UK's second female breakfast DJ on local radio and an assistant producer on the fabled Pebble Mill at One.
She wrote her first book, China By Rail, in 1987 after spending six summers travelling around China - and met her first husband while filming two ITV documentaries in China a year later. Henry Barley died a year after their wedding in 1990 and it was the hospital chaplain who told Maggy that, as an atheist, Henry could not go to heaven, who inspired her to start investigating alternatives to her previous 'armchair Christianity.'
This search was intensified after she came out the winner in a brief encounter with an eight-foot barracuda off the Barrier Reef in Australia...
Maggy is a qualified teacher of healing in two disciplines and studied Kabbalah with Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi for sixteen years. She has written three Kabbalistic novels, ‘The Book of Deborah,’ ‘ Into the Kingdom’ and ‘Leaves of the Tree’ about a fictional adopted sister of Jesus of Nazareth, and is an acknowledged expert both on the life and times of women in Biblical times and also in Kabbalistic interpretations of the New Testament.
She teaches seminars and workshops in the UK, USA and Europe and is just as happy speaking to Masons in Washington DC as to congregations of traditional and New Thought Churches and local holistic fairs. In 2011 she is teaching in the UK, USA, France, Czech Republic and Romania.
Maggy is consultant editor of the Midlands holistic magazine, The Tree of Life, and has taught workshops in Kabbalah, Prosperity Consciousness and Comparative Religion in the UK, USA, Europe, Russia and Israel since 1993. She was the founder-producer of the BBC's now-defunct spirituality website, which was morphed into the corporation's Religion & Ethics site.
In 2007 she was ordained into The Apostolic Church of the Risen Christ, an independent sacramental church. She is now visiting lecturer in Judaism and Kabbalah for the UK Interfaith Seminary.
Maggy lives in Birmingham, England, with her husband, Peter Dickinson.

Another beautifully written thought provoking book rich in history, hope, myth, and symbolism, weaved into a compelling story that I couldn’t wait to return to each evening. I love Maggy’s engaging writing style. The pace of the narrative is perfect for me. Her characters feel fully fleshed out. The humour is always injected in just the right moments. Never a wasted sentence. I’m not sure if there is more to come in this series, but I certainly hope so.
