9 9 9

I researched it - angel number 999 signifies the end of a major cycle, completion and a powerful call to new beginnings.

Let’s go!

9 books left on my shelf.
9 tickets left for the Winter Solstice Event at Soulton Long Barrow
9 space left on The Turning Year

Now is your time ❤️

I was reminded whilst reading a research paper yesterday for my studies. Ritual isn’t just about pretty moments. It isn’t for show. It quite literally aligns us to feel a sense of belonging which is one of the main drives for us humans. We all want to belong.

GUIDED to was written to bring you home to yourself, to help you find joy in the small mundane moments of life but also to approach threshold moments with the reverence they deserve, to provide initiatory energy with love and deep celebration honouring all the emotions and gifting you the connection to yourself, your nearest and dearest and to the wider world including source.

It’s a biggy!!

That’s it! I have officially lost the plot!

I have only twelve books left on my shelf, obviously I can get more so there’s no problem at all if you want one in the future.

When I first released this book into the loving hands of my readers, I worked with my amazing mentor to set a crunchy goal for myself. Sell 200 books in 6 months!

200 felt like such a long way off when I began, sales were trickling in sometimes one a week, sometimes none then there would be a surprise six all on the same day.

I reached out for support from people I’d worked with in the past to help me spread the word of this creation and often heard nothing back. I contacted shops and heard nothing back. I did this by myself and with a small group of magical, loving friends who have helped me to sing its praise from the rooftops!

It’s been a process!

Anyway, fast forward to now, we’re just two weeks away from the end of those six months and I have only 12 copies left of that goal of selling 200!

What a perfect time for the end of that goal to be right before Yule and Christmas. Gift giving season!

So here’s me, singing, being silly, enjoying the process because heck, if I can’t enjoy this last bit, what has it all been for?!

So…GUIDED…a book created with source, channelled words of love, guidance and support for each of us to hold us through the thresholds that we may or we will experience as women. It covers menarche, conscious conception, miscarriage, pregnancy, birth, becoming a mother both through birth and in other ways such as adoption or becoming a step-parent, menopause and at the end, it touches on death as a beginning to my next book.

It’s full, it’s bursting with ideas to help hold you, your families, your sisters, your wider communities and quite frankly, in the words of an Amazon Review, ‘everyone should have a copy on their shelf’.

I have twelve books left until I reach my goal of selling 200 books in 6 months!

Twelve books, twelve days of Christmas! I wrote a song! I was trying to creatively sell 🤪

For f*** sake, please help spread the word, let’s get these twelve of the shelf and save us all 😂

GUIDED, a much more serious book than this attempted song, all about ceremony and rituals for women. Marking thresholds with beauty and intent. It’s bursting with poetic prose, poetry and practical ideas for holding ceremony. I’d buy it! 🥰

I feel so blessed to be posting out as many books as I am right now.

Order after order coming in.

Person after person purchasing a book to welcome them or reignite their passion for ceremony.

Storytelling, poetry, prose, ceremony ideas, prayer…it’s such a blessing!

“Guided is a truly beautiful offering. Merryn’s writing holds the reader with such gentleness and wisdom that you cannot help but feel heard, held and seen. I wholeheartedly recommend it.” Amazon Review

I have 47 copies on my shelf here.

That’s 47 copies that are ready to head out to you, your friends, your daughters, mothers, sisters.

And, it’s a very happy Merryn that would have made her dream of selling 200 books before the end of 2025 a reality ❤️

Grief is not a problem to fix.

It is love trying to find its shape again.

It is the ache that shows we have lived, attached, cared, hoped.

This week, I honour grief as a wise companion, not an enemy.

If you are grieving, you are not broken. You are being shown the depth of your love.

GUIDED was once only an idea whispering in the back of my mind, a prayer of ink and earth I hoped one day to share.

Today it exists in the world, ready to be held, opened, lived with.

If its ceremonies, poems, and pathways speak to you,
you’re invited to find your own copy and let it journey with you.

❤️❤️❤️

I was called to open the pages of my own book a few days ago. It fell open (obviously), on exactly the words I needed to hear.

GUIDED shares my personal experiences of each threshold alongside ideas on how to hold ceremony for yourself, your friends/family and your wider community which makes it a really interesting read, even if you have no intention of holding a ceremony.

You might change your mind after you’ve sunk into the pages though 🥰

When I took on the role as Guardian of Soulton Long Barrow, I had no idea how my relationship with the place would unfold. I had no idea of the beauty that each and every visit would bring. I had no idea of the depths that it could bolster and provide a gentle returning to self.

The turning year is about extending that beauty out to others, to other artists, to those who love to create but are perhaps fearful of what being an artist means or brings.

Let the me guide you to return to yourself alongside the barrow, alongside nature, with love at my centre and service to you, to the land and to the greater, wider powers of the world.

Let us come together for ‘The Turning Year’ 🌱🌷🍁❄️

The Turning Year begins in January.

12 gorgeous gatherings in an even more gorgeous location.

Observation of the seasons. Intuitively creating. Listening to the whispers of the land and of your own connection.

Your inner artist is needed in the world right now. Your art is needed in the world right now.

Join me for The Turning Year, books your space on this year long exploration, a commit to yourself, to your art and to the earth.

22/11/2025

For one afternoon of every month for a year, you can join me upon the land of Soulton Long Barrow where we will observe the seasonal changes, from the subtle to the vast, we will tap in to our felt sense of the earth and our sense of belonging within it all. Then, here comes the fun part, we will create! You bring along your favourite medium and I will guide you into playing with (or working with if you prefer) your inner artist. No complications, just you, the earth, the seasons, likeminded people and me holding, journeying and creating alongside you ❤️

If you like the sound of this, join me for The Turning Year from January 2026 on the first Sunday of every month 1-3pm.
