Tuirr Couan comes from ancient Celtic tales of Dale's - in modern terms Rivendell - the last friendly home to travelers and friends. Our Western Canadian home has often been a place where wayward souls take respite, find counsel, healing and some times just a friendly ear; we are an aptly named place of learning and living. It is often difficult in a world of electronic fantasy, a virtual super market of self indulgence, to find real people and places. While we accept alternative lifestyles and beliefs in many forms you will have to excuse some amount of Sinicism as online and now often offline have spawned the often too outrageous baseless fluffy bunny information beliefs and practices which are either egotistical, self indulgent, or so fantasy driven as to be impossible. Finding in this mire an enclave of like minded people can be difficult and, even more difficult describing or explaining yourself in terms that can be understood; a problem I am sure everyone has experienced. Hence I hope these pages serve some food for thought in your own journey and remind the reader that real people live behind these keyboards and to govern yourselves accordingly.

I would like to thank my friends and family for their support and help in making these pages and you for taking the time to read.

Thanks and more to follow soon.
