Happy New Year, everyone! I hope your holidays were merry and bright and if you are still celebrating that they continue to be so!
I want to thank everyone who supported Darkflower Books and Folk Art during 2024. I met so many wonderful people at fairs, markets, classes and workshops, and look forward to doing so again in 2025. The first event I'll be at is the Dark Arts and Oddities Market in Milton, PA on Valentine's Day weekend! If you like Vampires AT ALL, you gotta get tickets to this two day bash with a fantastic Vampire Masquerade Ball, Vampire Dance Party, and Market by Reign of Terror Entertainment in Milton, PA. Check it out:
And for those of who who have made our podcast numbers skyrocket...thank you. Season 2 Episode 1 will be out this Friday, and it's on Time, Space, and Letting Your Inner Child Out to Play. We did 19 episodes in 2024 and drop a new one at the end of every week. We have loved hearing from you and can't wait to continue in the year ahead! Need a new podcast in the new year? Here's the link, and we are also on most major platforms: https://mysticalmusings.buzzsprout.com
And....a new book will be out late January / early February! The Angel and the Blackbird is FINALLY almost done and then the sequel to The Balled of Birdie MacLeod will be out! And then...I am hoping to have the next in The Spiral Pathways series out by early summer! Alex and Saorsa's adventure will continue in The Book of High Places. There will also be a sequel to The Book of Samael coming out this year, and other writings are in the pipeline as well.
The Spiral Pathways Series is currently being republished in a new size...to better fit on bookshelves and to match closer in size with a new edition of Wyldwood, which will be re-published this year through MPP Publishing and finding its way into local bookstores!
And as for The Blue Ball Inn...the archaeology dig is closed for the winter since the ground is frozen, but we'll open up again for volunteer archaeologists to come dig in the spring. We have a lead on possible building remains in the backyard, and can't wait to dig in again! The Inn will also have more classes, events, and we're working on a book about the history and hauntings there. We hope you can come be part of the team there in 2025 as we uncover the mysteries of this extremely haunted 1747 tavern outside of Winchester, VA.
May 2025 be full of health, success, and blessings for you and yours.
Thank you for being part of my Circle...
Tava Baird
