TY Promise. Yes I will admit it. My name is Stephanie and I am a semicolon addict. LOL However, since my stint in rehab...I am mending my ways. If you notice, I rarely used them in the paragraphs above the *** because those first few paragraphs I recently edited. Everything after well...(hangs head low) it's my shame - I was an addict, a semicolon junkie, I couldn't stop myself. It was just too easy. Now the missing colon's...well, I'd rather not have enough than have to many. I met a dear friend (Page) in rehab, she's a colon junkie. LOL
TY so much for reading. Your comments (and Fi's) are right on the money. You picked out the area's that I knew I needed to work on when I go into the editing trenches. Which, by the way, will be soon, I have 3 chapters left and then Remembrance will be done.
You and Fi definitely reaffirmed (in my mind) what I needed to fix. My appreciation and a BIG thanks for cutting some of the editing process of this down. TY TY!

Oops. Wanted to make mention to Promise and forgot. Ari is not a druid, she is primarily a green witch. Hence her personal talisman's on the green robe being earth items. Arianwen, Sulien and Tarrant as a triumverate are powerful storm witches.
However, I do have a character that is a druid (from the past) in this story. The follow-up book is about him and characters from this story will be weaved in here and there. So when this story is done and the queries are out I shall be doing more research on Druids.

Before I got into the idea for my own work, which resulted in my new "obsession" with ancient Germans, I was really and truly obessed with Celts and Druids, starting when I was 15--so for more than 1/2 of my life. :0) Anyway, my understanding is that the pagan traditions and herblore practices that came to be seen as "witchcraft" in the middle ages were remnents of Druidic practices. So it all folds together. I don't know about you, but I get a certain satisfaction when things do that. Yes, I really and truly am a dork. :0)

I agree. Most remnants of practices and traditions now, can be traced back to then. I find it very interesting indeed. I too glean that same satisfaction. Can I be part of that dork club - LOL! :-)

Punctuation rehab! Now there's an idea whose time has come! LOL! Of course, after I took out 5,287 commas, an English teacher looked it over and told me to put all of them back in again. So I did, and if an editor doesn't like 'em, he/she can tell me to take 'em out. *G* --
