About the Author:
Gwydion O'Hara is dedicated to the research, study, and practice of ancient folkways that survive today. For more than twenty years, he has looked for the practices of the people of the land, wherever they could be found and in whatever aspect they would present themselves. His studies have brought him in contact with others who hold a common respect for the old ways, offering the opportunity to watch and work with different groups in both the United States and Canada. In his studies, he has pursued the areas of herbology, mythology, folklore, and folk magic. He gained recognition in New York and Toronto as a competent tarot reader and lectured on the subject for the Toronto Psychic Society. A love for the lore of the simple folk, however, always has been behind his work. Moonlore is a product of that devotion.
