Castlefest - A World of Wonders

Sometimes you really don't know what to expect... Sometimes you walk into something and simply get blown away... The old you takes leave and a new you grows in her place, changed, humbled, astonished, grateful... 

This weekend was fabulous, difficult and amazing therefore I haven't known how to write about it and actually I still don't, so I'll let the photos do the talking...

Mediaeval marvels...

Medebier was a revelation...although it gave me a headache after my third ;-)

My first port of call... Still have my mug

Owl Witch Shaman Magick

An Owl in the Hand...

Beneath white wings, darkness curls

A mouse in a talon, meat for the powerful hunter

Bowed with troubles and shame, a curdled sea of loss

Shrewd eyes look deep inside soul

Hands prod, back straightened, healings uttered

'I see you, inside and out, nothing is hidden from my sight'

Words not needed but connections made

Those said, remain in my heart

'You are a good person!'

 

Owl in hand, no weight, no fear

Another meeting, bird and I in the sunlight

Wild things, trapped, caught, free

'See, I trusted you!'

Bird sits on glove without ties

Trust is a rare gift in strangers...

To my Owl Gypsy Woman, heartfelt thanks

The Greening of Man

At last I'm a published artist!!!! 

A couple of my drawings are included in this wonderful book by Sharon Zak at Slippery Jacks Arthouse.
