    About Me: I have been working within the Faery Realm for 4 years. I first erncountered the Fae when I was “Piskey led” to Luxulyan woods, in St. Austell, Cornwall. My passion in life is Faery. I paint them, write about them and read anything and everything. Involving the Fae! My ultimate acknowledgement to Fairie is my fairy tattoo. I live in a beautiful, fairy-filled cottage in Cornwall, with only fields, cows and crows for neighbours. I share my life with my husband Stephan and my enchanted daughter Lily. I have two adorable tabby cats named Binky and Breezer and two chickens called Molly and Myrtle. I spend my days looking after my family and animals, cooking, cleaning, gardening and growing vegetables, walking in Luxulyan woods where I collect fallen twigs and Branches to transform into fairy wands and fairy staffs. I also enjoy walking the coastal paths and on Carne beach, where I gather mermaids’ tears, shells and pebbles which I use for my crafts. Painting is also a huge part of my life and is very necessary for my sanity!!! My family and I also spend time in South Africa, where Stephan is setting up the Primrose Project to support an aids orphanage. This is situated in East London in a tin shack, run solely by a 75 year old woman with her 55year old daughter. They are currently looking after 38 children suffering from Aids. These wonderful woman only have their pension to support the children and themselves. We are hoping to divide our time between Cornwall and South Africa. I wish to develop a South African Fairy retreat and sanctuary, the spirit of fairy is very much evident and waiting to be unleashed! I also run Fairy School, an idea presented to me during a fairy meditation. I believe that all children deserve the precious gift of a magical childhood of which Fairy School can play a part.

    Autumn

    Thursday, August 21, 2008, 07:52 AM [General]

    Today is a day for celebration.  My beautiful, enchanted daughter has passed her GCSE's with flying colours.  I don't know who was more nervous, Lily or myself.  Now she can can  attend college enabling her to achieve her dreams.  One of the greatest gifts we can offer our children is an education for life.  Well done Lily , we are so very proud of you!

    Last night I couldn't sleep so I composed another poem, I hope you enjoy it!

                                                                  AUTUMN

                                    The swirling mists are rolling in

                                    across this sacred Celtic land

                                    Mother Nature does give us all

                                    the well earned fruits of our labour

                                    From early spring to high summer

                                    man has toiled with his willing hand

                                    Now's the season to harvest in

                                    abundant gifts from Mother Earth

                                    Birds are circling across the heavens

                                    ready to fly to distant shores

                                    Fiery sun is losing her heat

                                    slowly the air is cooling down

                                    Our enchanted fae are busy

                                    shaking off red and golden leaves

                                    To form a majestic carpet

                                    for fairies, elves, dryads and sylphs

                                    to ride upon these fallen leaves

                                    away to their enchanted realm

                                    Flying on a magic carpet

                                    to honour Fairy King and Queen

                                    Let us create ceremony

                                    to great this season of Autumn.

    I have given up any hope of summer, so on to Autumn we go!!!!!

    Today,7th August is an important fairy day

    Thursday, August 7, 2008, 12:08 PM [General]

    Today, thursday 7th August is an important day in the fairy calender.  I urge  all fairy believers to take a walk outside, as today is the day that  Fairy hills and dwellings are revealed.  If you wish to connect with the Fae please take a walk and see what you find!  I will be interested to hear of your sightings.

    Wishing you a magical and enchanted day

    Lammas merry meet In Cornwall

    Monday, August 4, 2008, 09:55 AM [General]

    Thank you darling Drew and Be for bringing your magical selves to our merry meet here in Cornwall.  Due to our wonderful atmospheric weather here in Cornwall our itinary was modified in order to keep our wings becoming too soggy which does eventually hamper our flying!!

    The fairie realm invited us to visit their enchanted realm in the magical Luxulyan Woods. We spent a mystical two hours walking along spiritual paths where the mineral enriched waters magically flow uphill defying the logical laws of gravity.  The houses of the Fae were decked out in splendour, the mosses covering each one immacutely swept clean in  various  hues of green.  We could feel eyes watching us and even found  an underground  dwelling with a toadstool chimney!  Further on we discovered a faery hotel complete with a waterful to frolic in. .  The dryads in the ancient oaks and beech trees bowed in  reverence as the  Fairy King and Queen of I Do Believe passed by.  As Fairy Priest and Priestess, Stephan and I were truly honoured to share this  enchanted kingdom .

    As the sumnmer rain began to fall, we visited the village of Mevagissey where we were fortunate to meet a band of the Pirates of St. Piran.  Beautiful woman and real handsome swash buckling men, a real delight on a damp summer's evening!  We feasted on fish and chips which just happen to be the best in Cornwall. On arrival back to our humble little fairy filled cottage we sat up into the small hours swapping stories and eventually falling asleep .

    After a late breakfast we headed to our local beach, Pendower .  We spent an enjoyable morning collecting quartz, shells and mermaid's tears as a souvenier of a wonderful weekend with wonderful friends and wonderful memories.

    Last night  I spent making corn dollies in honour of Lammas and hung them by the fire as is the tradition.

    I invite all members of EF to hold merry meets whenever possible  as it is a way of communicating and honouring the Enchanted realm.

    Wishing everyone love, peace and many fairy encounters and please enjoy every day this summer.

    Merry meet in Cornwall

    Saturday, July 26, 2008, 01:29 AM [General]

    The Enchanted Folk  merry meet  to celebrate Lammas is being held  on Saturday 2nd August..  We are meeting at  12 o'clock at the Admiral Benbow pub in Chapel Street Penzance.  There is public parking near St. Johns Hall  for those who wish to meet.  The Admiral Benbow is one of Cornwall's most spectacular , it looks tiny from the outside, but inside transports you to a magical world dedicated to smugglers and pirates.  It is run by a swash buckling pirate, a true character!  We shall be leaving in convoy to a neolithic settlement called Carn Euny which boasts an underground fogou for a shared picnic with panoramic views across the bay of Penzance.  This special site holds many secrets and is a fairy haunt.  For those of you in no hurry  we shall then proceed to my magical place Luxulyan Woods where with the fairies permission we shall have a barbecue.  As the sun sets we shall take a walk along Pendower beach for a firework display to round off the evening.

    Those of you who will be travelling from afar are most welcome to camp in our garden on both Friday and Saturday night.  Breakfast will be supplied.

    Please phone either myself or Stephan if you are coming on 01872 501873.

    Bright blessings to all

    Liz living in the magic of Cornwall

    Saturday, July 12, 2008, 12:26 PM [General]

                                             Ode to Stephan, the Fairy king.

    Across the blue celestial Heavens you are flying

    To mend inside me that which is dying

    Folk of the enchanted faery realm

    welcome you home

    From distant lands of your Africa

    Where you did roam

    Head held high, but in your darkest hours

    You felt alone

    You leave many happy ,smiling faces in Africa's land

    The world is a much happier place led by your hand

    Welcome home my fairy king

    Thank you for sharing my magical life

    From your fairy queen who is your enchanted wife!

    I am so excited that Stephan is coming home, but here is a little rhyime that happened earlier today!

    I have a spot upon my nose

    Who put it there, no one knows

    Please, fairies come out to play

    And make it  GO AWAY !!!!!!

    I'm sure Stephan will soon blog everyone and tell you all the news at www.Projectprimrose.com

    Have a magical weekend and bright blessings

    YIPPEE, what Wonderful news, the Return of the King! Such a blessed relief, I have been deeply concerned for both of you, my beloved friends. His majesty has been so brave & courageous, a bigger heart I have not met =) We Warmly Welcome Stephan Home with many magical mischiefs, broad smiles & a big *Happy Be Dance* in his honour. He set off to change the world, & in his absence we grew & discovered much about ourselves ~ just look at lovely you Cornish Fairy, keeping positive, creative & full of your pink bubbles, flying the fairy flag & keeping a light shining in the cottage window. Your loving support means that he can then champion all those beautiful bairns who truly need everything you so generously do for them ~ Thank you both for taking such special care of others in great want, & reminding us with enchanted grace that we can make a difference if we just take that first step...

    thanks for your comment Liz. That painting took about 10 hours total I think. I don't pay too much attention to the time. I do some paintings that take about an hour, the longest I've ever spent I think is about 20 hours. I've been painting since I was 18. 22 years. So I can be pretty fast.

    Keep goin' girl!

    By the way, I already asked Amanda but I will ask you as well...I am going to visit Ireland for 8 days in february. Now, I understand you dont live there but perhaps you have gone there before and can tell me some places I must go see. I have felt a calling for Ireland for many years now. My mother believes I lived there in another life:-) And where else to hope for a faerie sighting..I am staying a few days in Galway since I feel called to there most. But any other places of note, please let me know.
    Thanks again!

    Just had to add....
    Reading about your life in Cornwell is like wandering into a fairytale.... How rich and fulfilling and 'touched' by wonder. Even more wonderful is that you are so completely 'inside' of your life ... taking nothing for granted. I wonder does where we live make it more or less difficult to remain 'inside' and recognize the wonder? The times I've spent in Ireland it seemed so much easier to remain 'inside' of the moment. Here on Long Island, so much moves one away from moments of 'wonder'.... Which is not to say I don't keep trying!...Thanks for sharing your remarkable story, Liz
    Blessed Be
