Zen and the Art of Instantgratiphotography

Sarah Costanzo — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:00:00 -0000

There's a saying that goes something like, "what's old is new again." There is, indeed, truth in this statement, though with each incarnation, each trend becomes sleeker, chic-er, and much cooler than it was the first time around, doesn't it?

Disclaimers

Plotka Hildur — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:00:00 -0000

Ah, at long last, the Seasons change once again. This is the most glorious turning point of the year! It is an emergence from the darkness into the light. Although the waxing Moon is only nearing First Quarter at the Equinox, there is a mystical glow in the Air and on this enchanted night we see with clarity.

Going Home

Yesterday, I returned home, to the place of which I spent my childhood, and showed my own children the home where I grew up.

Tales from the sky

Isabella Baudelaire — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:00:00 -0000

It must have been some weeks ago when the Dutch Meteorological institute predicted a meteor shower in the night sky. I had never seen a falling star in my entire life; somehow I have always missed them.

Spiralling Thoughts

Alexandra Dawe — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:00:00 -0000

Woodland Memories

Ailynari — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:00:00 -0000

Eko

Paul Kidby — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:00:00 -0000

The daffodils opened in a yellow rush as if they couldn't bear to keep furled a moment longer, and the birds trilled in triumph. The chilly fingers of cold receded and the green lung of the forest exhaled with relief.

A Faerie Mission

Donna Lowden — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:00:00 -0000

Primrose – Primula vulgaris 

Ali Clarke — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 09:00:00 -0000

Primrose is the symbol of safety and protection, in ancient times it was placed on the doorstep to encourage the fairy folk to bless the house and anyone living in it, and it was also said that if you ate the blooms of the primrose you would see a fairy.

Lisa Stock — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 05:00:00 -0000

I started writing TITANIA almost five years ago. And have, every day since, worked hard to get this film made. That's about average for those who decide to go the independent film route and maintain creative control of their work.

Watching the Fairies Dance

Orchid Lament — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 05:00:00 -0000

Dear Diary, I heard someone in the Darkness. A sibilant whisper, "What are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?" I looked around as best I could in the absolute blackness, which was in point of fact, not at all. "What are you?" I inquired back.

The Green Man

Toni Cogdell — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 01:00:00 -0000

The silence is so profound it seems to have taken on a form of its own, creeping and stalking its way through the forest, feral and wild. Birdsong has faded, the air now only carrying the stillness of birds; creatures have stopped abruptly in their tracks, tasks at hand forgotten, even the breeze has been distracted from pushing branches back and forth in a game of tug-o-war. The silence that remains is deafening and thick with expectancy. Something is about to happen.

The Talking Tree

Dreamdeer — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 01:00:00 -0000

I must begin with a disclaimer. Though of Yaqui heritage, I am not full-blooded, and the white side of the family raised me.

A Gifted Artist

Sleepy — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 01:00:00 -0000

"At last I've caught you," said the artist as tiny fairies dance.

ENGKANTO in the Tamarind Tree

Mark and Luisa — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 01:00:00 -0000

The first time I heard the word Engkanto was from my Aunt Naty. Aunt Naty was a very ordinary woman that lived in the mountains and possessed fortune-telling powers that were never to be doubted.
