Whisperings from Eynhallow
Please excuse my absence from these enchanted pages for so long. You may find it hard to believe that I have only just found my writing desk and made a reasonably risk free pathway to it. Discovering my fountain pen and writing paper was a feat which involved gymnastic-like contortions suited to a fitter person than I. Such is the chaos of moving house!

Diary of a Faerie Priestess
Alicen is known for the definitive publication Faeriecraft, Treading the Path of Faerie Magic. Her most recent non-fiction book is A Faerie Treasury. She is also the author of a novel on a faerie/magical theme The Kiss of Two Worlds. For the past two years she has been working on a children’s novel about, faeries of course!
Alicen lives faeries every day, just because she can’t help it and never really wanted to grow up. So she dabbles when necessary at being an adult, but can’t own to being one full time. She believes that everyone should have magic in their lives; a glimmer of childhood, even if it’s just a speck. Magic is a little bit of sanity in a world gone mad…
Alicen runs the Orkney Faerie Museum and Gallery, with Neil on the island of Westray where they live with their two children.
The idea of the museum came to her whilst soaking in the bath one evening (as all excellent ideas do; just think Archimedes and ‘Eureka!)
This is thought to be Britain’s only museum dedicated to faerie lore.
Alicen has been a member of Enchanted Folk since September 2007
