About the author
Fiona Tinker writes short-form Pagan nonfiction for Moon Books' Pagan Portals series. "Pagan Portals - Stories for the Songs of the Year" (2020) is a collection of seasonal tales built around the Wheel of the Year, told through recurring characters across the turning seasons. "Pagan Portals - Pathworking Through Poetry: Exploring, Knowing, Understanding and Dancing with the Wisdom the Bards" pairs poetry with pathworking, a guided meditative technique used in contemporary Paganism, treating verse as a route into reflection on nature and the divine. Both books sit within the introductory, practice-based end of the Pagan Portals catalogue, aimed at readers new to seasonal ritual and creative approaches to pathworking rather than at scholars or long-time practitioners looking for advanced material. The tone across both is personal and story-driven rather than academic.
