About the Author -
Leela J. Williams grew up with stories of her grandmother 'knowing' what was happening with family and friends on the other side of the world. Spiritual connection was a manifestation of love, and it seemed natural to share dreams and secret worlds with her sister. When, as teens, their sensitivities heightened, it further fuelled Leela's fascination with the unseen, and she delved deeper into music, philosophy and metaphysics.
In 2000, Leela's love of books, words, magic and remarkable people melded when she entered the realm of spiritual publishing. She founded The Spirit Guide in 2002, published Spheres and Spellcraft magazines and co-founded The Psychics Directory with the Australian Psychics Association. Leela's contributions to the spiritual field were recognised with a Psychic of the Year Award for Queensland in 2004, a Psychic Ambassador Award in 2013 and the Simon Turnbull Award in 2016. She served as the media spokesperson for the International Psychics Association and had a regular spot on radio for over ten years.
Avidly curious, Leela continues to explore philosophy, mythology and spiritual connection. Her creativity, deep thinking and quirky view of the world have made her a sought-after editor and mentor. She lives in Brisbane, Australia, with her four children and an ever-growing collection of books, oracles, tarot cards and musical instruments.
Leela has co-written or contributed to Sacred Earth Oracle, Peace Oracle, Precious Gems Oracle, Portraits of Innocence, Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet: An Oracle Card Set, Ancestor Spirit Oracle Cards, Oracle of the Wylder Ones, and more.
