**Made to order**


Embrace the fusion of cultures and histories with our Fenland bog oak pendant, meticulously crafted into the elegant Māori roimata drop shape. Each piece tells a story of resilience and connection, with the central inlay featuring a mix of New Zealand Pounamu, a treasure revered by the Māori people for its spiritual significance.


Cultural Significance of the Māori Roimata Drop Shape: The Māori roimata, or tear drop shape, carries deep cultural significance for the Māori people of New Zealand. It symbolizes the shedding of tears or sorrow and is often worn as a token of comfort or remembrance.
Cultural Significance of New Zealand Pounamu: Pounamu, also known as greenstone or jade, holds immense cultural importance for the Māori people. It is regarded as a taonga (treasure) and symbolizes strength, status, and connection to the land. Pounamu is traditionally used for tools, weapons, and adornments, and its significance extends beyond material value to spiritual and ancestral realms.

Basic History of Fenland Bog Oak: Fenland bog oak is ancient wood preserved in peat bogs for thousands of years. Its history dates back to prehistoric times when the land was covered by dense forests. Over centuries, the wood became submerged in waterlogged conditions, where the absence of oxygen slowed decay, resulting in its unique preservation.

Spiritual Meanings: Bog oak, with its origins deep in the earth and its long journey through time, is often associated with grounding, wisdom, and resilience. It embodies the passage of time and the endurance of nature's cycles. In Māori spirituality, the combination of bog oak and Pounamu may symbolize a connection between the ancient earth and the enduring spirit of the land.
Combining these elements, your pendant represents a fusion of cultures, histories, and spiritualities, encapsulating the timeless beauty and significance of both bog oak and Pounamu.

Waxed Nylon Cord for Versatility:
Suspended from a waxed nylon cord, this pendant offers versatility in wear, allowing you to adjust it to your preferred length. The waxed cord symbolizes the interweaving threads of life, echoing the intricate connections between the wearer, the pendant, and the ancient oak's storied past. Wear it with pride, knowing that this piece is not just an accessory but a tangible link to the enduring spirit of both the fenlands and New Zealand's rich cultural heritage.

Local Beauty, Local Care: As advocates of sustainability and community, we take pride in our commitment to local artisans. To complement the linseed oil finish, we adorn our pendants with a coating of Brays Bees cream polish, thoughtfully created by nearby beekeepers. This local touch not only enriches the wood's natural allure but also supports local businesses, creating a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and care.

Stuff They Don't Teach You In Church
Format: Paperback
Fawn Brodie did her research and cites primarily sources from LDS sources such as journals from people who knew Joseph Smith and from Joseph Smith himself. I trust that the information is reliable. I learned more about Joseph Smith than I was ever taught in Sunday School or LDS seminary. Fawn Brodie does speculate in some areas, such as Joseph's motives but she supports her assumptions with evidence, again, from primary sources. It was a quick read for me. I did have to get out a dictionary at some places, which is rare for me. Brodie paints a picture of the Joseph Smith that very few people knew. I enjoyed reading this book. I recommend it for LDS church members who want to know the history of one of enigmatic people in history, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The book points out not just the negative aspects of Joseph's life but Brodie balances it with the positive. Unlike Charles Manson, Jim Jones, or David Koresh, Joseph Smith truly cared about his followers and treated people well. I don't like how he seduced women, however and that detracts from his character. I do think he was a con man, however.

A very accessible classic
Format: Paperback
I chose this translation on the recommendation of a good friend who is also a professor of English. I wanted something that was true to the spirit of the work and not necessarily tied to the exact meter and rhyme of the original just for the sake of maintaining both. I was not disappointed. What struck me most was the imagery of the translation. As I read, I could see the scenes and felt that I was there, experiencing the plot. This tale has many of the elements of the current popular "superhero" genre of movies. Properly done, it would make an excellent film. Read it and enjoy!

Luminous Translation
This translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is rich in color, full of action, written with respect for the original poetry (in a Northern dialect of Middle English that partakes heavily of Old English and Old Norse influences). The richness of the story, the surroundings (both natural and courtly), and the vivid descriptions of hunting and fighting, make this very important knightly adventure jump off the page.

Laudable Work, with One Reservation
Format: Paperback
I appreciate Mr. Winny's time and efforts to produce a "bilingual" edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. No stranger to the pitfalls of poetic translation, I prefer to have the original side-by-side with the modern English language rendering, as you get with this book. That way, I can quiet the academic growl in my head that remains skeptical of the inevitable poetic license the translator--by necessity--must take to adapt ancient words into modern parlance. My only complaint is that since the poem in its original is half the appeal of what this book promises, why modernize the letters? The Gawain poet's Middle English is already much more obscure to the modern reader than Chaucer's. Why not retain the yogh, the thorn, etc.? The target audience is already willing to climb the mountain, so why lop off the peak?
