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.

Today, Wednesday, 24th June, is Faery Day. A day to honour the Fae and communicate with them. I urge all you believers here on Enchanted Folk to spend time outside in nature communicating with these Guardians of the Earth. Walk barefooted on the grass, take time to smell the flowers, hug a tree or just enjoy being outside feeling the Sun and gentle summer breeze on your skin.
Please remember to leave an offering for the Fae to celebratethis special day. I am off to my favourite faery haunt, Luxylian Woods in my role as Cornish Fairy to keep the magic alive for all those who seek and believe.
I send pink bubbles of love to all believers and please post any encounters with the Fae here on EF.
It is that wonderful time of the year again. The time of celebration, honouring the Fae and all that is both mystical and magical as we approach the longest day in the Northern hemisphere. The long dark nights are a distant memory of winter past as we become energised from the rays of the sun overhead. So much to do and see, so many dear friends to catch up with and numerous magical places to visit.
Use the long hours of Midsummer day to revitalise our spirits to connect with each other, this enchanted earth on which we live and the heavens above. Do not be disheartened by those who choose not to see or believe, but let us live our lives being true to our own beliefs on our chosen pathway of this enchanted life.
We are truly blessed to be part of the magical life where we can escape from the "real" world and all that goes with it.
Remember 24th June is Fairy Day so another day to celebrate.
Clap hands, sing and dance to the magic of this enchanted life!
Wonderful words to live by! Very inspirational.
Thanks so much for sharing these lovely thoughts.
I'm clapping my hands, singing and dancing to the enchantment!
:)
I forgot to log out last time I was on here, Whoops!!!
Have been extremely busy supporting Stephan whilst he is in SA building the nursery at the orphanage. I am soooo proud of him and the true miracle he has managed to achieved. Of course there are still those embittered people living In SA who are trying todestroy the orphanage( you know who you are and so do I).
The latest accusation of these pour tortured souls is that the building and funding is not for the orphanage but for B&B to be used during the World CUp being staged In SA 2010!!!! Now who in their right mind would want to pay to stay in one of the poorest and most violent places in SA with orphaned children suffering from Aids, TB , cancer and abuse! If only they could understand that these beautiful children are the the ones who will suffer, not us at Project Primrose.,but 89 children going hungry to bed with only a thin mat to sleep on.
I am so blessed to be part of such a warm loving community here on EF. A wonderful oasis of love and peace far removed from individuals with hearts of stone.
Stephan will post on his site upon his return. He is travelling to Capetown on wednesday to catch his flight home after a job well done!
On thursday, 21st May, I shall be chaining myself to the railings of the South African Embassy at 12 noon, to highlight the plight of the orphans of Project Primrose. Now is the time to stop waiting in vain for empty promises to be fulfilled. These children are being completely ignored by the Social Development, inspite of promises made to Stephan last year in South Africa by the Government.
If any of you will be in the vicinity of the Embassy, please stop to stay Hello, in fact you will be most welcome to join me! This will be a peaceful protest and I shall stay well within the law. You will be able to recognise me, as I don't think there will be many folk dressed as a Fairy chained to the railings!
I hope to see some you Enchanted Folk there. Keep living in the magic!
Dearest Fairy kin, the 89 aids children believe that through the magic spell of love that will be held there that day, the promises they have from the Social Development Department will become real. As you know we cant make this spell of love work unless we stand hand in hand and surround the embassey at trefalgar square with love at noon. The children believe in you and our great and good magic, so please be there as we cast this great spell. we will try get the children to hook up live through the mystery of the Internet to see what we are doing. Also we will put the names of every fairy on a brick as we build the nursery for them. Its great to share and use our love for good!
Dear Liz,
Although I am across the sea, I will be with you in spirit on Thursday. My most positive thoughts and prayers are with you so these precious children are not forgotten.
Their thoughts and deeds are whispered by the breeze
Have I today walked along the pathway
In the footsteps of Virginia Woolf?
Spirit leads me here, to live an enchanted life
I listen to and speak with ancient Spirits
Who once inhabited this rugged landscape
To artists, writers, poets, smugglers and
The ancient peoples who once farmed this land.
Up a beaten track, halfway up the hill
There is an enchanted home waiting for my family and me
Custodian of this blessed place I wish to be
Amongst the Fae, Elementals and ancient Spirits.
Footnote
Godrevey Lighthouse was the inspiration of Virginia Woolf's most famous novel ' To the Lighthouse'.
Even though the story is set on the Isle of Skye, Leslie Stephen, Virginia's father, rented Talland House in St. Ives as a family summer retreat for twelve years following Virginia's birth.
Hello Liz! Hope all is well :o) My little Bumplet is doing well, kicking lots now! Have posted a pic of the latest scan to Faerie Fledglings. Much love to you and your family! xxx
Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers my warrior princess is battling well. she is coming to the end of the chemos next month-she gets one every week for 3 wks then blood wk, the another 3 weeks...she gets weak,upset tummy, headaches, restless boredom then she goes kayaking!!
So once again thank you for the prayers, love and energy all very well received. SHE WILL HAVE A GRAND BIRTHDAY IN SEPT.
I'd never heard of Putting scissors under a cradle. That is so interesting and it makes sense, Scissors would be one of the most handiest deterring iron/metal objects that a family would almost always have. Neat info! Thanks for sharing it with me.
And sending you VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MESSAGES loaded in big rosy heart-shaped bubbles and smelling of lilies & wild roses. Just realized it is my Mom's birthday today and she would be 90. I look in the mirror and there she is.
It is now past midnight GMT as I stayed up late to be one of the first to wish you a very Happy Birthday for the 14th dear Liz *big Be smiles* May you be showered with many magical blessings today and surrounded by your wonderful family. We are thinking of enchanted you as always ~ sending love and hugs from all the Montys,
Thanks for your support! I always hope to get a friendly relationship to my neighbors. I am not upset about what happened, but curious of why some people feel fantasy is dangerous.
I hope time will show your husband's famely that you are doing the right thing!
Keep up the good work, there can never be to much love in this world!
Hey Liz :D
Sorry to hear your demo has had to be delayed, you are one courageous lady!
I have something that might cheer you up a bit :), I went to the London MCM Expo on my birthday and saw the cast of Merlin :D, I managed to tape quite a bit of the panel so here's my YouTube page if you'd like to see the clips:
I have some more to upload still too. They told us quite a lot about series 2, Lancelot is returning & there's gonna be more stuff about Excalibur ^_^.
There was a signing session at the event too, but I didn't manage to get a ticket for it unfortunately, tho I think I'd have died of fright anyway lol
