OUR CHARISMATA
with Anne Marie Varrella
LIBRARY!
​
Publications, in no particular order, for your consideration.
​
This collection is far from full; that would take a lifetime, wouldn't it?
This is a simple snapshot.
I am not receiving any compensation by including what is here.
A lot of the publications came into my Life when I knew I was going to be required to articulate to others some comprehensive substantiation, or about exemplars in the corresponding, specialized fields.
​
Somehow, the below has gathered together for a Good reason or another!
Many are referenced in other areas within this website, and some were recommended to me. Others are there as resources for those asking, for instance, about what to read regarding 'Animal Communication.'

also known as Interspecies Intuitive Communication
I have been asked to provide resources for families that include 'animals!' 'pets!'
Due to the fact that my conditions for connecting with plants and non-human animals began since my earliest memories, and I do not yet feel an inclination to formally study with a published author because of my mentors along the decades, I can offer:
​
1. From research, I have seen that Penelope Smith has, and has had a large impact in this area, and this book is endorsed by Bob Anderson, D.V.M., former president of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association.
​
Animal Talk: Interspecies Telepathic Communication

2. From participation in the University of Saskatchewan's online Symposiums, and information put forward on their website by their esteemed research team led by M.J. Barrett Ph.D., I encourage you to visit / read (and even be an attendee at a Symposium!)!
