A light has passed, quietly...I stumbled upon this news, and while many of you won't have heard of her work, other readers will recognize her name and be saddened at the news of her death. The following was borrowed from the blog of Musings of a Quaker Witch and written by Selena Fox of Circle Sanctuary.
In Memoriam: Patricia Monaghan, February 15, 1946 - November 11, 2012. Goddess scholar, women's spirituality pioneer, poet, author, longtime friend & neighbor Patricia Monaghan died early this morning at home near Black Earth, Wisconsin with her husband Michael McDermott with her. Brigit guide her passage to the Otherworld. Brigit aid us in our mourning. Brigit Blessings.
Some of her books reside on my shelves, and her work has woven in and out of my own Pagan path. She walked the path, and shared the journey, with intelligence and poetry of soul, and her voice will be missed.

Ashling, we "meet" people in our lives who make a remarkable impression and difference, we might never meet them in person, but mourn their passing, and I trust you can pick up one of Patricia's books, read a few lines and be comforted by her words. Greetings from Jean
I read of her passing on some other blogs. It's true, a light does go out when someone like this beautiful lady passes. Very nice tribute.
thank you for sharing.
i have a read some of her books.
sad to loose a pure heart.
Dear Ashling..
I found this out yesterday, but didn't have time to read the whole thing. Patricia will be missed by me and many others!!! I too have some of her books on my shelves and now they will be more than special.
I join you in your prayers to Brigit...
Love, Akasa

It's always hard to lose someone who has influenced your life and the path you chose to take.
