Praise
"Those who have the wildest hearts find themselves, time and time again, standing on that liminal bridge between hope and grief. We mourn for a future we fear may never be but continue to light our altar candles in the name of a more sustainable world. Monica Crosson provides a sorely needed salve for those who feel a kinship with our wounded world in her book Wild Magical Soul, honoring the wisdom of the trees, the stories of the land, and the profound importance of both curiosity and creativity in a spiritual practice."—Danielle Dulsky, author of The Holy Wild: A Heathen Bible for the Untamed Woman

"The Young sow wild oats- The old grow sage"
SUMMER SAGE
Received Honorable Mention at San Francisco Book Festival
Olivia Smith viewed the world through a narrow window.
Her ideals were as blurred and bumpy as old glass- and her
opinions were based on what she assumed lie beyond her limited view.
But the summer Olivia turned 13, things changed. An unusual heat settled on her small town- strange feelings for Jared Wahl, the neighbor boy she had grown up with, began to stir- and, most horribly, her beautiful, rich cousin, Penelope, the daughter of an Ethiopian super model, had come to stay with them while her parents were in Europe.
With the help of an eccentric old woman named Ms. Stella, the girls,
opposites in every way, learn acceptance and glean wisdom from an unlikely source- each other.
Summer Sage is a celebration of womanhood in all its incarnations-
be it the naïve ideals of a 13 year old girl- or the hardened wisdom and fun musings of an 85 year old woman.
Audio book now available through Amazon.com, Audible.com and Itunes
Available through kindle for $2.99

The Dreamer's Journey: A Tarot Deck and Story for Children (and the Inner Child)
The creation of The Dreamer’s Journey: A Tarot Deck and Story for Children and the Inner Child is an independent collaboration project between Pagan author Monica Crosson, Dutch stick-‘n-poke tattooer and illustrator Pieter de Metz, and SpeakYourOwnBook.com, a book writing and publishing service for independent authors and artists. The deck was created with the idea that all children should feel included and loved. The central character, the Dreamer, is a nonbinary character than can be customized by the child (or your inner child). Follow the Dreamer as they travel the journey that all of us are wandering every day.
Within these pages, you’ll find 22 five-minute short stories that, when read in order, retell the age-old journey of the Dreamer (known as the Fool in the original Tarot), using kid-friendly, updated, and inclusive language for readers age 8 and up. Younger readers will also love these stories when read to them by the grownups in their lives.
In addition to the stories, you’ll discover a delightful coloring page for each card, as well as a set of cut-and-color cards in the back of the book for the young Tarot reader to customize to their heart’s content.
Journey with the Dreamer, reading the cards of fate and destiny with each page, as they learn the trials and triumphs of life.
