“Fellwater” is a modern fantasy novel about two lovers caught between two rival factions of an ancient secret society.On the night Katie tried to tell Eric her true feelings, all they did was argue, and she left with a broken heart. But then she met Carlo, a charming, cosmopolitan, and mysterious man from an Italian noble house. In his presence a mystical vision overtook her, and she remembered meeting him before, thousands of years ago, in the ancient Celtic iron age. But she awoke the following morning in a hospital, without knowing how she got there, and she learned that Eric spent the night in jail after being chased by gunmen. All was not as it seemed, and they were both in terrible danger.This is the second edition of this book, re-released after a successful fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.com, which covered the costs of professional editing and design work.“Myers’ characters inhabit a world rich with political intrigue; the machinations of aristocratic families descended from ancient gods. Fellwater is taut, poignant, and imaginative.” - Jordan Stratford, author of “Mechanicals” and “Wollestonecraft”“A fresh, original telling of this intriguing theme in a contemporary setting, with enchanting characters you can feel for, fear for, and get caught up in... Myers has painted gorgeous portrait, a landscape of emotion, mythology, and historical mysticism framed by his talented prose.” - Mhaoil Lain, Northern Tribes

Hallowstone: Book Two of The Hidden Houses

As House DiAngelo's plan nears completion, the Fianna must choose between fighting to reclaim their home, or building a new one.A bounty goes out for Eric Laflamme, who hides in a safe house in a faraway city. The Fianna, led once again by Miranda Brigand, are on the run, and divided among themselves. Some want to drive House DiAngelo out of Fellwater, and so reclaim their home. Others want to start afresh in the abandoned Voyageur freehold of Elderdown, hundreds of leagues away. Attacking the DiAngelo will require weapons and allies they don't yet possess. Settling Elderdown may be easier, but the only one who knows its location is Ildicoe Brigand, a pariah whom no one but Eric will trust. The time for deliberation ends, and the time for action arrives, when the head of House DiAngelo murders one of his own men, and declares the final phase of the Magnum Opus begun."Masterfully weaving together a rich world of mythos, Myers follows in the footsteps of the great fantasy storytellers of our time-Martin and Tolkien-but he does it on his own terms, bringing new twists and turns... it will nourish your imagination and soul for years to come." --L. M. Browning, author of The Nameless Man.

Elderdown: Book Four of The Hidden Houses

Dangerous Religion is a "thought-opera" of spiritual contemplations on Neo-Pagan and environmental themes. It was also written to be a manual for environmental activists and other participants in the anti-globalization movement. The book describes a planetary Will to Life expressed by everything in nature from animals and plants to the material elements. This concept of "Global Animism" requires radical transformations in our total lives, from the level of personal belief all the way to political and economic organization. 
 Three main sections distinguish particular themes. The first is called "In the beginning was the Mother" and is primarily concerned with environmental and religious matters, particularly in the Celtic world view.
 The second section, called "Separating Reality from Illusion" examines social and political matters, especially how the global market is a manifestation of the Will to Life in pathological disorder. 
 The third and final section, "The Great Silence," brings the previous themes into a personal and more purely spiritual unity. It suggests some ways how the disordered Will to Life may be rectified and how we must act to do it.

What is civilization, and is it a good thing? It's a name for the most glorious of humanity's monuments and cultural achievements; yet it also speaks of the conquests, oppressions, and empires which make their glory possible. This book explains the essence of civilization, then asks what's wrong with it, and considers what can be done about it.

The Circle of Life is more than the food web. It's a self-organizing system of global life-cooperation and energy dissipation. Its balance and stability have been taken for granted for millennia. But in the age of the climate crisis, the Circle is breaking down. From the 1960s onward, philosophers, artists and spiritual teachers promoted the idea of the ‘Green Self' to help us understand how the Circle works, and how we harm ourselves when we damage it. But in all that time, the climate crisis only got worse. The Greening of the Self didn't happen. Using the science of ecology and a deep dive into human nature, this book explores what the Circle of Life really is, and what becomes of us when we face it in different ways. The exploration reveals a deeper eco-spiritual perspective, in which the Immensity of the Earth, and the breakdown of the Circle, are calls to action: to heal the Circle, and to create a better world.

Using ancient heroic epics and sagas like Beowulf, the Illiad and Odyssey, the Eddas, the Tain Bo Cuailnge, and literature inspired by them including the works of the Renaissance and Romanticism, Shakespeare, Tolkien, and J.K. Rowling, this book explains the world-view that gave birth to our virtues. In that world-view, life involves inevitable confrontations with inexplicable events like fortune, nature, other people, and death itself.

Reference

Wiccans often claim that their spiritual inspiration comes not from a written scripture but from personal experience and original creativity. While this is true, there are also many written works which constitute Wicca's testament, or its central literary expressions of spiritual identity. Some of them are thousands of years old. These written works have not been brought together, in the same book, since the movement began.
