Welcome, interested readers, to the creative world of Keith Brazil, where magical realism meets literary fiction, spiritual ideas and philosophy in the exploration and expression of the multi-layered consciousness that makes up the human condition. Like a photograph, my writing tries to capture the emotional and psychological ‘light and dark’ states of the spiritual journey crafted into colourful novels and stories – portals into fantastical worlds as well as thumbprints of experiences and memories I’ve encountered journeying along ‘The Way’.
My books are also for those readers interested in engaging with the current world-wide conversation regarding the ‘Conscious Planet’ movement. As the world enters the turbulent storms and birth pangs of Gaia’s new ‘Springtime’ energy, we all need creative, healing, spiritual dialogue to support our unique journeys and transformations. Our mutual wellbeing is most important. Whether you’re a butterfly emerging from your chrysalis, a snake shedding your skin, or a lotus blossoming from dark waters, fresh horizons abound. So, dance your mind into alternative realities and discover gods and goddesses, cats and dragons, disco and astral time-travel through adventures in magical reading. Enjoy! Keith x

My Books
‘The Land of Bliss’ is a fairy tale set in a magical world where stories hold secrets, spells are made to be broken and people are not always what they seem. Three old friends travel south to the jutted Land of Awe where they meet the last of the Fairy Folk, the Family Rose and the Townspeople trapped in a curse.
A young schoolteacher, Miss Beret, lives under a protective ‘Spell of Forgetfulness’. Her pupil, Raoulf Littlesøn, does not realise that the fate of fairy tales awaits him. Her long lost brother, Mayor Bear, wants to close the last magical school. All their stories entwine through an enchanted doorknob, a resurrecting Witch and a singing Princess. This is the story of a murderous wood. This is the story of stepmothers both bad and good. This is the story of Rose Pink.
“…a really lovely and intriguing take on the fairy tale genre…” SP
A novitiate Alchemist gives a wedding speech reflecting on the wonder of joy and the predicament of love…
Beyond conception and perception, this speech ultimately becomes a blending of Gloria Gaynor (I Am What I Am) meets God (I Am That I Am) and she was almost right in that she was what she was (whatever that ‘what’ might have been!).
Two things cannot alter, since Time was, not today. The flowing of water, and Love’s strange, sweet way. (Japanese saying)
“Everybody wants to be a cat!” The Aristocats.
‘In Consideration of Cats’ is an essay and meditation on an aspect of joy and the wonderment of cats. A collection of notes, observations, insights and poems reflecting on the behaviour, nature and antics of cats and the healing that the world of our feline friends can bring us.
“‘In Consideration Of Cats’ succeeds in bringing to life the feline spirit of being; serving up a cacophony of charming and thought-provoking images. Paulo Coelho meets T S Elliot.” V. Carmichael
“…a truly fascinating look into the everyday lives of our feline friends…” T. Osborn
Join the revellers in a bawdy ‘world of men’, set between Christmas and New Year, as a somnambulist chameleon, a dancing bear and ten lords-a-leaping prance into a bag of glees and good tidings at the retro-Hustler’s Ball.
Surreally swirling through music, memories of childhood, places, teenage years, TV characters, and friends, past and present, can the chameleon trance-dance through fire and attain the state of ‘Mok’sha’?
” A dance trip into the Time Tunnel, lost in a music and TV fantasy world. It starts off light, goes deep and becomes cosmic. Funny, Moving, Enlightening.” Mr Light-Bear
The Wilderness Diary charts the struggle and conflict arising out of personal sorrow and present world crises. For 40 days and 40 nights, a Magical Adept goes AWOL from life and from the Raven Agency at The Tower, London. Painfully lost after the death of his father, he is haunted by ravens and wanders into city madness. The diary is a high-octane, revolutionary, dream-of-consciousness account of a Magical Adept who astrally time-travels on his spiritual journey to the Heartlands.
“Epic, spellbinding and healing… an extra-ordinary journey, filled with joy and grief, karmic restrictions and freedoms.” Marysia
“A fine work of Art. This stream of consciousness novel takes the reader on a Journey to the dark night of the soul and beyond…” Jack O Roe
