Hi, I’m Ruth, The Saltmarsh Magpie — writer, oral storyteller and Celtic Christian peregrina.

Once upon a time, I worked as a trauma-trained CBT therapist in the UK.. Then a great storm carried me up to the Outer Hebrides. There, over the pandemic winter, I salt-cured my medicine. I now live in Venice, Italy; and offer story journeys for folk who long to restore wonder in these night times.
