Welcome!

Welcome to Kestrel's Nest! The web site of Angela Grant, better 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 following a Druidic path so if you're interested in Druidry, Paganism, Divination or things esoteric you may find something in the Druidry pages.

I'm at present engaged in a two year 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.

I write poetry, mostly pagan stuff but some themes are more general. Maybe you will find something to connect with in the Poetry pages.

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

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. My main interests are medieval and worldwide. Have a look at the Numismatics pages for information on this subject.

In 2004 I spent a year Gliding or, at least, learning to do so. I didn't manage to fly solo but I did have a very enjoyable year learning.

I'm also learning Stáv, which is a bit more than just a Scandinavian martial arts system.

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.

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.
