Houses
It’s directly before the Wanderlores New Year and, as I’m known to do this time of year, I’ve just finished renovating the little wagon I call home—at least while I’m visiting the Wanderlore Groves, which is quite a lot during this season. The wagon is the traditional intricate affair on the outside. Painted red with […]
Wanderlores New Year
The New Year for many Wanderlores is most often marked at the time of the Apple Harvest. The Eternal Clock by which they make their calculations is not quite in sync with the dates set by the SolLuna calendar used by those in the icon worlds. Thus, the new year’s celebration either bids farewell to […]
Sing the Song
Sing the song that makes your soul dance Not the one you learned growing up Nor the one you memorized in school Discover the song that makes your soul take flight Make it your anthem and sing! —Jellybean Reds, Creator of Little Creatures
Dancing with Time
At the time of the Wanderlores New Year, I always like to share with those of you who are uninitiated a little about our ways. I know that getting to know the Wanderlores will help you understand not only me but the aesthetics of how I live my life in the Creators Realm. During the […]
Sound and Fury
Some events blow into storms and sweep into our consciousness without warning and with such sound and fury that all we want to do is dive for cover under the kitchen table. These events may be political, or they may be social. Sometimes, the events in question are local. This doesn’t diminish their urgency when […]
Magical Birthday
Another month has come and gone, where’s the summer going! Of course, here in the Creators Realm I don’t experience summer the same way that I did in Cratersville, or as I do when I’m staying in the Wanderlore Grove. That’s okay because I always have my eternal clock hovering nearby which enlightens me, not […]
A Family Affair
The tree haunted the corner of Nori’s Shop of Wonders. Sometimes it seemed cloaked in moody shadows. Other times the edges of its leaves glowed as if reflecting the light of a hidden sun. The first night I noticed the tree, its limbs appeared twisted and gnarled. It was the Night Between the Worlds and […]
Butterfly Dreams
I still remember the day when a hungry caterpillar inched its way across the top of my Creation Book. It was late summer. My sister Poppy and I were sitting in the shade along the banks of a lazy flowing stream in the Wanderlore Grove—our typical summer haunt. Damselflies darted about, doing their dark hunting […]
Fun Dog Birthday
It seemed like a good idea at the time. This is my refrain when I’m faced with the fallout from one of those that’s-not-quite-what-I-was-expecting moments. Take the time my sister Poppy and I were planning a birthday surprise for this girl at school. Her name was Suzi—short for Susanne, a name that everyone seemed to […]
Soul Surfing
You’ve probably noticed by now that I love to create butterflies. I could say that butterflies just fascinate me—they do—but they also represent something more. Butterflies not only represent transformation, which, being a magician, is a process I’m always keen to exploit; they also represent the soul, which, being a bit of an explorer, makes […]
