Inheriting the Old Ways: A tale of Legacy, Lineage and Ley Lines

By Kim Celtic

Inheriting the Old Ways is a lush, multi-threaded chronicle of community, resistance, and memory, rooted in the quiet magic of rural Oklahoma. The book blends fictional memoir, environmental inquiry, and spiritual activism into a compelling ledger of truth-telling and survival.

Set in Mason County, where ley lines thrum beneath the soil and rosemary marks the borders of belonging, the story follows Jade Conder and her chosen kin through land inheritances, corporate reckonings, naming ceremonies, and archive awakenings. Each chapter pulses with ritual, history, and the friction between stewardship and exploitation.

Through courtroom drama, cradle-carving artisans, water dowsers, and whispering groves, the book asks: What is wealth if not rooted in place? What is inheritance if not anchored in truth?

Both tactile and poetic, Inheriting the Old Ways is a hybrid narrative-part expos , part ancestral spellwork-that speaks to anyone who's ever tried to protect what pulses underfoot.
