Herts Holistic Hero - Dwina Murphy-Gibb

Dwina Murphy-Gibb must be the most spiritual person I've read about. It could have something to do with her Gaelic roots, she was born in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Dwina is an author, poet and an artist, though you would expect nothing less from someone who is truly inspired by her homeland and has a lifelong interest in Irish history and mythology. Her other interests are esoteric studies, colloquial dialogues, religion and social politics.

Dwina is Patroness of the Order of the Bards, Ovates & Druids, a group founded in 1964 dedicated to teaching and practising the spirituality of Druidry. Nature is a fundamental focus of Druidry and has evolved with a truly holistic approach to life. All creatures, animal and human, are equal with neither having supremacy over the other, therefore we must be environmentally aware and responsible and ensure the web of life is sustained with care, respect and honour. Hence why the central activity within Druidry involves ceremonies and gatherings, particularly honouring the solstices and equinoxes.

Dwina's books include Cormac The Seers about the legend of Cormac mac Airt, a great High King of Ireland and his battle to fulfil a Druid prophecy. Her dialogues appear in a humorous collection called The Gabby Aggies about Mrs P, a woman who believes it is her duty to solve the world's problems, but then she does live at The Fingerpost in Ireland, a point where five roads meet and as all these roads lead to her door, knowing everyone's business is meant to be.

Dwina's Star Child Collection of art is beautiful and is reminiscent of those images you would find on Tarot cards of which Dwina has studied and been in awe of since she was nine years old.

She is currently taking care of her husband, Robin Gibb (Bee Gees) who recently revealed he is suffering from liver cancer. Herts Holistic send their very best wishes to them both.
