Fall Song

Another year gone, leaving everywhere its rich spiced residues: vines, leaves, the uneaten fruits crumbling damply in the shadows, unmattering back from the particular island of this summer, this NOW, that now is nowhere except underfoot, moldering in that black subterranean castle of unobservable mysteries - - -roots and sealed seeds and the wanderings of water. This I try to remember when time's measure painfully chafes, for instance when autumn flares out at the last, boisterous and like us longing to stay - - - how everything lives, shifting from one bright vision to another, forever in these momentary pastures. - Mary Oliver

"Lady Autumn, Queen of the Harvest, I have seen You in the setting Sun with Your long auburn tresses blowing in the cool air that surrounds You. Your crown of golden leaves is jeweled with amber, amethyst, and rubies. Your long, flowing purple robe stretches across the horizon. In Your hands You hold the ripened fruits. At Your feet the squirrels gather acorns. Black crows perch on Your outstretched arms. All around You the leaves are falling. You sit upon Your throne and watch the dying fires of the setting Sun shine forth its final colors in the sky. The purple and orange lingers and glows like burning embers. Then all colors fade into the twilight. Lady Autumn, You are here at last. We thank You for Your rewards. We have worked hard for these gifts. Lady Autumn, now grant us peace and rest." - Deirdre Akins

Dark FaerieTales ~ Something Wicked This Way Comes

I just love the Autumn with it’s Beautiful sights. A Tapestry of colors to behold for sure. The scarlet reds, the fiery oranges and brilliant golds……..

Fall Leaves

Sweet scents of the flowers of Spring & Summer have been replaced by the more Exotic Spicey scents of the Autumn. The incense of burning Birch in a fire to warm the chill.

     Twilight comes, and Fades quickly

Autumn in Avalon's Garden

as the Darkness consumes the land, earlier she comes each night, wrapping her dark arms around you……

Autumn in Avalon's Garden

     Imaginations spark, with tales of Delight or Fright…..

Oh the Stories, that will unfold…….

     For there is a place where Magick dwells, in the Land of Myrrh & Naught.

Myrrh & Naught

     Faerietales of every sort, play out before your eyes.

    If you travel to the East, thru the Amethyst Forest …..

     Suddenly you find yourself in a Village,,,, of Eerie quiet desolation. Streets that have been flooded from the Lake of Tears ….. you wade through the water,  as you are drawn to the castle on the mountain……..

    You feel the pull of a cold icy grip, as It is draws you near to it’s Soul…..

      closer & closer …….,

you can’t turn away…………

Steps

   You begin your ascent, floating up the stairs…….., Unable to resist.

    At the top there is a Veilleurs Silencieuses de Temps to greet you.

Gothic

     As you turn from the Veilleurs Silencieuses de Temps, you find yourself in a long Hallway, with doors along the way……..,

as you make your way through the Great Hallway ……..

thru the Hallways

      Be careful of the doorways you open……
