Freedom in the Pools of Ethuil
The Pools of Ethuil are one of the Realms in this year’s Faire that I come back to again and again. There is a serene and restful vibe there that I crave. There are so many beautiful places to relax in the Pools! But of course, I can never stay in one place for very long: Continue reading

Left Luggage
A magical pathway spread out before me as I entered the Realm of Erstwhile. My assignment wasn’t clear, but I’ve worked the Great Faire long enough to understand that sometimes you just have to find the Guard supervisor and let him (or her, or whoever) direct you. I stopped and turned to look. Before me sprawled Erstwhile Continue reading

Greetings from Astrid’s Nemeton!
We’ve settled in to our digs for the duration of the Great Faire, in the intriguing Realm of Astrid’s Nemeton. It seems to be a mixture of Asatru and Druidic cultures. The denizens here are (mostly) friendly, although some of them have rather large teeth! We brought fae steeds, of course, as one can never be Continue reading

“You Are About to go on a Long Journey….”
Well, all the fortunetellers say that, don’t they? And obviously, the Great Faire is coming up soon, so we will be taking a long journey there, and then the long journey of days itself so that we can enjoy the all-too-short wonders of the greatest gathering of folk in all the wide Realms. But that chance meeting Continue reading

Why Haven’t You Been to Ostara’s Altar Yet?
Because I’m recovering from cataract surgery and under multiple deadlines at the same time, here’s a straight-up blog post from me. These photos were taken last weekend and should have been posted on Friday, but my eyes were one day out of surgery and I’ve not been looking at computers much because they are bright and Continue reading

Cleansing The Altar
Our Ostara altar was beautiful as always. This one came from Lore, who create many lovely pagan garden items; this one we found at the Ostara’s Altar event that we enjoyed so much. I love this dress from Senzafine, of course. The tights and dress are both available at the event, but you may have to hunt for the tights! Continue reading

Preparing for Ostara!
There’s no better place to get everything you need for your Ostara celebration than Dark Passions Events’ Ostara’s Altar event. I am loving so many things here there will probably be more than one blog post featuring items from this event: this post will show only a few of them! Ostara’s Altar opens today! Lumae comes back from a hiatus with this beautiful Neoma Catwa Continue reading

We Are All The Story
Alone in the woods, I am looking for something. I don’t know what I am looking for, but that’s not unusual. I hear a noise, not far away, and I turn to see Another version of me, telling stories to animals. Her/my voice rises and falls, and they are rapt. Dragons flutter round the edges, bunnies Continue reading

February Fashion Show!
Sometimes, we find beautiful things in the unlikeliest of places. I think cities like Nu Jyorck excel at this kind of thing. Great artwork on the sides of tenements, sculptures made out of rubbish, and of course the annual February Fae Fashion Show, which takes place in a different abandoned building every year. And while I’m certain Continue reading
