About this listen
This book provides you with a detailed description of the eight major pagan festivals as they fall chronologically throughout the year. Each celebration leads you further into Mrs. Darley's magical world and invites you to experience the wisdom of the ancients within a modern setting.
Carole Carlton brings the important days of pagan traditions together by exploring the cycle of seasonal celebrations with relevant dates. Alternate names, the folklore that has become associated with it throughout the ages and any closely associated festivals and origins are detailed, as well as how they were once celebrated.
Mrs. Darley's Pagan Whispers is full of thought-provoking stories, which describe some of the experiences the author encountered during her time in Cornwall. All involve her once next-door neighbor, Mrs. Darley, a delightfully eloquent, yet mysterious lady of a certain age. This provides an insight into how Mrs. Darley encouraged her to become involved in each occasion.
Have you ever longed to walk barefoot in the winter snow, greet the summer solstice dawn with drums and honeyed toast or experience the pure magic of May Eve? If so, then this book is the answer to your quest.
Each festival having subsections designed to engage the listener in didactic, experiential and experimental learning, whilst simultaneously transporting them to a world of mystery and magic.

To have an understanding of the four classical elements of air, fire, water, and earth, is to have an appreciation of what is essential in order to survive on our beautiful planet.

Who are the Goddess and the God, and where did they come from? Why do they have different names in different Wiccan traditions, and how do you begin to work with them in your personal practice? Magical Deities, by best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain, answers these questions and more. Going beyond the brief introduction to the God and Goddess found in many beginner guides to Wicca, Lisa covers the origins of the Wiccan deities as well as the difference between traditional duotheism and more eclectic polytheistic practices, both of which are found in some forms of modern Wicca.

Ancient Greece and its mythology has fascinated people for thousands of years, and few elements have intrigued people quite like the Eleusinian Mysteries, which the Greeks believed transformed the initiates and gave them knowledge that eased both the living of life on earth and allayed fears of death, allowing an acceptance of their ultimate fate. The influence of the Eleusinian Mysteries was also far-reaching.

I cannot describe what this book and the others have done for me. They have been healing and soothing, filled a void, the history and stories…I wish we all had a neighbor like Mrs. Darley. Thank you Carole for sharing her and your wisdom with us all.

How fascinating !
If you could sum up Mrs. Darley's Pagan Whispers in three words, what would they be?
Wonderful exploration of our Earths seasonal cycles.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Mrs. Darley's Pagan Whispers?
Realizing that wanting to be in tune with nature, the earth and her rhythms is innate in us all....but may be deeply buried. This book will help you excavate your inner self. You can give yourself permission to run barefoot through the dew-soaked grass.......it's perfectly alright .....!
What about Emma Jordan’s performance did you like?
Enchanting, easy to listen to and very soothing I found. I particularly liked the way she bought Mrs Darley to life. Top quality recording too, I shall be looking out for other titles Narrated by Emma.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It did bring me close to tears at some points as I recognized a deep longing in myself to reconnect and get myself back on track and more in tune with nature and her seasons.
Any additional comments?
I had every intention of settling down to enjoy this over the course of a week or so.....but once I'd started listening I just had to finish it ! There are other Mrs Darley books in print and I sincerely hope they will come to audible ....and if they were narrated by Emma too....well, I would be over the moon !
