The TITANIA Journals, Medisaga and more by Lisa

    Our Enchanted friend and Faezine columnist Lisa Stock is currently raising funds via Kickstarter to help fund the TITANIA Prequel. She will screen the prequel at festivals across the US and UK, and use it as a calling card for those industry investors who are interested in funding the entire trilogy! TITANIA is a retelling of the fairy tale of the Armless Maiden told through the faery queen Titania, as well as other characters from "Midsummer Nights Dream" and Greek mythology.

    Lisa has been writing the TITANIA Journals for Faezine over the past year, a fascinating and magical journey…

    Please consider a $5 pledge today - there are only a couple of days left in the campaign and if they don't achieve their set goal in pledges by midnight Wednesday 19th May 2010, then they will not receive any of the donations. Thank you!

    Please visit Lisa’s EF profile for a link to the wonderful Kickstarter project – we greatly appreciate your interest and kind generosity, bless your dear hearts, Be

    Tommy's truly amazing birthday gift for Be with all EF members April 09

Enchanted Folk!

    1st BIRTHDAY BLESSING


    My gift for Be and Drew and for all the Enchanted Folk that reside here...


    HEAR MY SILENT PRAYER...
    Observe with your eyes
    Listen with your ears
    But seek to understand through your hearts
    The mysteries that can only be felt
    Through a sacred place of refuge
    Found within the heart-space
    Where your soul dances
    To a never-ending beat of Compassion and Love.

    Hear my silent prayer
    As I ask for this circle of light
    To embrace this meeting place
    Where a gathering of different cultures and nations
    Will meet with respect for one another
    Whereby they will learn to listen to one another...
    Without prejudice
    Try and understand one another...
    Without judgement.

    Hear my silent prayer
    For all those that are lead here
    In order that this circle of light
    May grow in beauty
    A dawn of a new age
    Time for new beginnings
    Where we learn to talk from the heart...
    And not from a place of ego.

    Hear my silent prayer
    That this multi-faceted circle of friends
    Both seen and unseen
    Reach out to one another with care
    Allowing the dove of peace
    To touch us with her soft white feathers
    Thus turning our circle slowly and gently
    That we may dance as one
    To the never resting heartbeat of compassion and love.

    Namaste

    To Be

    Tell a tale of what you've seen what you've felt what you've heard.
    Keep it not within yourself let it out and spread the word.
    Make your light so brightly shine cast around its brilliant glow.
    Touch the heart and warm the soul and teach what you already know.
    Bring all together from far and near every kind of crafted art.
    Show the masters, teach the student and those who have yet to start.
    Create a world where myth can live a place where dreams can be real.
    Give wings to visions breath to wishes life to what the heart can feel.
    This world of wonder allows all who want the chance to so freely share.
    A home for magic, myth and wish, fantasies dwell uniquely there.
    Share epic yarns where told is the hero who shall reign over one and all.
    Or of mystic gatherings in deep dark woods drawn by the dragon's call.
    Then there are the evil overtones that sometime mix within a tale of pride.
    Reveal the torment, a fate pondered, while on a night’s final ride.
    Add whispers from the wind’s own voice, its secrets told to a leaf filled tree.
    Treasured rewards do still await, for the brave, whose wish it is to truly see.
    Make moments pleasant bring forth a change upon the lost and weary face.
    Within a word dwells the touch that gently lingers its soft embrace.
    Without Be then beauty can not exist its enchantment gone with it too.
    So long as dreamers do believe this special place is where there’s Drew.

     

         Enchanted Be.

     

    Enchanted you

    Enchanted here

    A realm of dreams

    Enchanted seer

    Fair the folk

    Of that no fear

    Enchanted you be

    Charms be here

    Of high delight

    To soothe the heart

    A beacons light

    That lights the dark

    Enchanted realm

    This magick spark

    For all to share

    Enchantments cast.
