A reliable and clean source of water is essential for any
community, so it is easy to understand how important wells were for
pre-modern peoples. More complex is the mystical relationship
humans have developed with these sites, which are imbued with a
sacredness that predates Christianity. Holy Wells of Wexford and
Pembrokeshire is a series of five chapbooks celebrating holy wells
in two regions with common ancestry and history. Since at least the
Bronze Age, sea travel between these two lands has meant
cross-fertilisation of traditions and common names associated with
wells of both regions. Of significance is the long-standing
friendship between two early Christian saints: David, who became
the first Bishop of St Davids; and Aidan, born in Ireland, who
spent time in Wales and then founded monasteries in Ireland,
including at Ferns. In Oilgate, Wexford, there is a well dedicated
to David and, at Whitesands near St Davids in Pembrokeshire, there
is one named after Aidan. Each of the five books approaches the
subject from different perspectives and mediums, including fiction,
poetry and essays as well as photographs and prints.
One in six couples have problems conceiving and many more suffer
the pain of miscarriage, which FIT FOR FERTILITY also addresses.
Much of the advice they're given is misleading or negative and IVF
is often presented as the only option. In fact, it's been shown
that an integrated approach to fertility treatment achieved the
same success rates as IVF, without medical intervention, worry and
expense. This is Michael's approach and is based on his hugely
successful Fit for Fertility programme that combines changes to
lifestyle, good nutrition and complementary therapies. FIT FOR
FERTILITY will allow the reader to self diagnose and tailor their
programme according to their needs. It is infused with Michael's
up-beat philosophy and builds on his inspiring work to promise a
genuine chance of success.
