Druid Animal Lore 11. Lynx : sadly extinct the the UK, it is believed to have supernatural eyesight, even capable of seeing through solid objects. It's the ‘keeper of secrets’ and symbolises the psychic power of clairvoyance #lynx #animals #folklore #druids 📷 Dan O'Sullivan

Just want to say a huge thanks to everyone who has bought and read my books. It’s insane how much love they’ve had and still get - almost every day I get letters from readers, and the sales figures are nuts. A big grateful THANK YOU from me.
