Living In the Magic 

 

Welcome to our Autumn issue of the Enchanted Folk Faezine, this special season seems to have inspired a wealth of wonderful articles - a collection of creative thoughts, musings and reflections, all beautifully offered in their own unique way and a great honour for me to collate and edit.

Once again, we have some new columnists kindly joining our talented team, and I sincerely appreciate all the generous Enchanted Folk for their much valued, delightful contributions...

We at the Believe Fairy Shop are currently offering 15% discount on everything in store for orders valued at over £100.00!

We have some fantastic bargains on the original limited edition Amy Brown Signature Series Statues that we have in stock - most of these have long since sold out in the USA and once they're gone, they're gone. Even if we're not showing the figurine you're looking for, do drop us a line because we may have one hiding out back in the warehouse - you know how mischievious faeries can be!

We also still have some of the original Ceramic Sensations Fantasy Art Hanging Wall Tiles hand made at Jessica Galbreth's studio - remember the ones with the fabulous matt finish and we have designs from Jess, Amy Brown and Nene Thomas - as well as a few limited edition tiles. Do check out what we have remaining in stock because these are now no longer being made.

Magical Blessings to all who have joined Enchanted Folk these past seven months, we are so grateful that you choose to share your enchanted lives with us on there. It is our sincere privilege to witness so much wonder and openness, to hear of your glad times as well as the everyday challenges or big events that would test any of us, and then to observe everyone so generously supporting, caring, trying to help, shed some light on or bringing joyful humour to each other.
This magical community feels just like a family and although it is now growing bigger, still retains its original ethos as it beautifully matures and develops to encompass each new day's happenings. We learn from one another, and although in any given moment some of us are feeling down or struggling, there are others who are embracing a happy time and are peaceful – this is the wonderful balance EF has naturally found to bless us with and we couldn't be more thrilled.
We are truly delighted by all the awesome talent and creativity on this FAEspace, that is also very much about those of us who just Live In the Magic - the unique combination of these elemental energies is a joy to see among our dear friends there.
This was the clear vision I had over a year ago for this EF magical social network - as though we were opening the doors of our own home for believers who wished to enter, a place where you could sit with a cuppa, gain some nourishment, make a new friend, chat to fellow visitors, share wisdom, enlightenment, your latest project, a funny story or a dilemma, stay a while or just pause between real life, wander out into the garden, watch the wildlife and take a quiet moment of refuge, snuggle up by the fire with the dog, or even pick up a drum, put on some music and dance wildly – all of this feels like it has happened and I truly cannot thank everyone enough, my dream came true! Enchanted Folk companionship is my haven, has kept my faith in faerie and mortals many an hour, brought me reassurance that there are amazing, good people with tender loving hearts, is my solace and my happiness. I am so fortunate to have all this in our dwelling where we will be open Ever After, and don't mind whether members visit occasionally, every day or feel the need to log on all the time like I do - this is all perfect and brings me many smiles ?
We feel extremely honoured when folk put our EF banners on their web sites and link to us, we appreciate everyone (including our beloved Faerie Magazine) for so kindly spreading the word and encouraging other gentlefolk to join this enchanted community.
Drew and I greatly look forward to wonderful times ahead with FAEspace, and thank you Always for your Belief and treasured friendships.
Keep Living In the Magic, and please know that we are All blessed by gathering together…

Magical Greetings,
I have just posted this update on 'The Land of I Do Believe' section of the Faerie Magazine Forum & also wish to mention here how beautifully supportive our beloved www.faeriemagazine.com has been to the Enchanted Folk social network online community since it began 5 months ago, thank you dear Kim.
Please feel free to use the banners below & pass this message on to your friends & anyone who may be interested… Thank you - & to all those magical beings who are already part of EF, we are truly grateful for your enchanted friendship.

After being on myspace, trying to find other people that are interested in Faerie, Fantasy & Visionary Arts amongst the multitude;) we realised how unfocused a location it is for artists, craftspeople, writers, storytellers, musicians, artisans & believers to connect with each other.
So, in Sept 07, we created Enchanted Folk, a safe, secure & fun space - Our Gift to the Faerie Community & all those who Believe - one we could All call our own as illuminating, imaginative & insightful kindred spirits…

Welcome to www.enchantedfolk.com - a wonderful social network site (based here in England) which uniquely Unites these Communities of Faerie from around the world, online - the realisation of our dream since 2006, the perfect place for folk like us to chat, make new friends with much in common, exchange thoughts, creative talents, inspiration & our belief – for lovers of all things Fae - where we can escape, reflect, meet & connect with extraordinary people like you!

We warmly encourage everyone on EF to post blogs, artwork, OOAK sculpts/dolls, craft/needlework, poems, stories, photos, tattoos, videos, music, start groups & forums, share new interests, ideas, life experiences, hopes, dreams, elemental moments in nature & Anything else enchanted there – EF members message each other - encourage, celebrate, comfort & support those in need or maybe just 'cover' their friends in cyber fairy dust!

www.faespace.com is free to visit & join - we now have more than 800 gentle members (yay) with much great male energy too! My husband, Drew, & I are honoured to administrate/monitor this EF site & would be delighted to have your enchanted company - we look forward to meeting you there...
Thank you Always for your Belief.
Happy Thoughts – keep Living In the Magic,

The winter issue of our beloved Faerie Magazine, is graced on the cover with a gorgeous image by dear Dorothy Wallace (seen on the homepage of EF). It features a fascinating, in depth article about Arthur Rackham; the World of Spiderwick; Artists Paulina Cassidy (thank you precious Polly!) and lovely Renee Biertempfel; Wendy Froud's Faery Godmother's fashion and is elevated as always with Brian's 'Word of Froud' and The Faerie Journals. Together with fantastic pieces on Grimm's tale 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses', enchanting crafted Faerie Houses for the garden and some awesome ones in ice! - this is definitely the best edition yet and I am so proud to be associated in every way – though especially in this way…

I can now wish you warmest welcomes to Uniting Kingdoms dear friends, wherever you are in this world. After two years in the planning, I am deeply honoured to be introducing the new part of Faerie Magazine – this section is being produced in England to reflect the myth, magic and folklore amongst the overseas communities, dedicated to the UK, Europe and beyond… together with a deep reverence for faerie and a sprinkling of the eccentric humour we Brits seem known for. Gathering all these delicious contributions has been pure joy with folk so enthusiastic and generous, it's been breathtaking!
For our debut, we are privileged to have regular contributions from many treasured and well respected artists including: the first in our 'How To…' inspirational master classes by the talented Linda Ravenscroft; Charlotte Bird beginning 'The Travels of a Fairy Photographer' with pictures of enchanting Glastonbury; Josephine Wall sharing with us a special new project she is involved with on the Isle of Wight; starting our story of how the heartfelt Fairy Box charity came into being with the Scottish founder; Trudi Finch, our Featured Artist, telling her story, highlighted with her beautiful fairie paintings; Wendy Froud reviewing her and Brian's recent London Exhibition; and for sheer fun, Amanda Sissons gifting us with the adventures of 'Enchanted Erlina' (Old English for little elf) - Faerie in Training, especially commissioned to be our magical, mischievous mascot for Enchanted Folk - she'll be on the EF site soon! All this, by the illumination of, Canadian born, Paulina Cassidy's mystical lamppost, constantly lighting our way…
The spring UK edition is already bursting ready to bloom with regular contributions (yay) insightful interviews and articles from all over the globe, including Australia - so here's to an exciting next issue, which will also celebrate Faerie Magazine's 3rd Birthday!
I am truly thankful to everyone who has made Uniting Kingdoms a delightful privilege to put together and in awesome appreciation of everyone's encouragement and Belief, I send magical blessings to you all -
