****Recent Faerie Sightings!

  • In April and May of 2012 the faerie folk flew across the pond to Scotland to tour with two of our favorite Celtic musical groups across the lovely land of Caledonia. The magical and mystical journey took us to the spiritual grounds of Iona, many castles and abbeys and monuments to the heroes who made this land free.   It took us to the Border villages in the South and to the Northern Highlands of Inverness and beyond.  Stirling Castle and Edinburgh Castle grow from the bedrock as monoments to freedom and the masons who made them strong.  Scotland is a beautiful country rich in history and patriotism.  We enjoyed music in the evenings with the Aussie trio Brother and the Scottish natives of Albannach.   
  • Although Gail has had many poems included in anthologies here at home, her latest adventure takes her to jolly olde England, where her poetry appears in Noble House Publishing’s latest poetry collection Songs of Honour.

IONA

Tiny island,
Sacred place
Far, far from
The madding crowd.
A silent prayer
And a tear
For those
Who forever
Rest here.
But wasn't
It life
That gave this land
Presence
And peace?
Those who came
And those
Who left
Would forever
Change the world,
Illuminating it
One beautiful
Page at a time.
