Welcome!

Welcome to Kestrel's Nest! The web site of Angela Grant, sometimes known as Kestrel. Feel free to have a look round. I hope you find something to interest you. The site is growing all the time so if you don't find what you're looking for now, come back again sometime!

I'm at present engaged in a MPhil Degree Course in Celtic Studies at Jesus College, Oxford. This involves learning to read medieval Welsh and Irish tales and poetry in the original texts. You'll find in this area some of my translations and essays and some of the original texts with which I work.

I've done a lot of research on the Ridgway group of partnerships and am in the process of assembling a database of patterns for each of the factories concerned. For further information see the Ceramics pages.

If you're interested in coins and their history I've studied the subject since my schooldays and I have the honour to be President of the Oxford Numismatic Society (Oxford City) and Treasurer of the Oxford Phoenix Numismatic Society (Oxford University). My main interests are medieval and worldwide. Have a look at the Numismatics pages for information on this subject.

I'm following a Animistic path so if you're interested in Animism, Paganism, Divination or things esoteric you may find something in the Animism pages.

I write poetry, some of it Pagan stuff but some themes are more general. Maybe you will find things to connect with in the Poetry pages.

Perhaps you are more in tune with the few Stories I have written.

I decided to drop out of a MSc/Diploma course in Integrative Psychotherapy. If you're interested in my thoughts on the subject try the Psychotherapy page.

If you want to know more about me see the About Me page.
