(Some) Secrets from 'A Celtic Twilight'


This is one of the best-known collections of Yeats' prose; in it he explores the longstanding connection between the people of Ireland and the inhabitants of the land of Fairy. Yeats, who had profound mystic and visionary beliefs, writes with conviction of the reality of Fairies, both in his own experience, and in the everyday life of the Irish. This relatively short work serves as a way for readers to discover Yeats' powerful wordcraft and get an overview of celtic Fairy lore.

A little goblin holds the music for Pan and his comrades to read named 'The Night of Pan'. Within the system of Thelema, this is a mystical state that represents the stage of ego-death in the process of spiritual attainment.
The playful Pan is the Greek god of nature, lust, and the masculine generative power. The Greek word Pan also translates as All, and so he is “a symbol of the Universal, a personification of Nature. Pan is both the giver and the taker of life, and his Night is that time of symbolic death. In a more general sense, it is the state where one transcends all limitations and experiences oneness with the universe.

'The Order of the Golden Dawn'
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was an organization devoted to the study and practice of the occult, metaphysics, and paranormal activities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known as a magical order, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was active in Great Britain and focused its practices on theurgy and spiritual development. Many present-day concepts of ritual and magic that are at the centre of contemporary traditions, such as Wicca, were inspired by the Golden Dawn.
The Golden Dawn system was based on hierarchy and initiation like the Masonic Lodges; however women were admitted on an equal basis with men. W.B.Yeats was a member.
References to Harry Potter that I do so love, and the symbol of the 'Illuminati'.
Failte is Gaelic for 'Welcome'
I first saw 'This is Not Here' in the 'Imagine' video with John Lennon and Yoko Ono and it has fascinated me ever since. I want to get a sign made above my studio :)
I like to read philosophy, particularly with Buddhist roots and this sentiment is paramount.

Secrets from Rapunzel






This is the Flower of Life. It is the most significant of all the symbols in sacred geometry. Encoded within it is the blueprint for all creation. Sacred Geometry is a universal language which allows us to access ancient knowledge contained in our cellular memory. It enables us to understand wisdom from cultures that have left earth long ago. It is the key to understanding the nature and value of color and sound. It facilitates communication with beings from other worlds and dimensions. The Flower of Life symbol can be found in various locations around the planet. No one knows for sure how old this symbol really is.


The constellation shown represents Aquarius, because many believe we are entering the Age of Aquarius. Nobody really know when it will happen, some peoples believe it began in 2012. "The Age of Aquarius is the Age of Freedom, Technology (especially electricity), and the Water Bearer."
Scientists today confirmed the galactic alignment as the Maya predicted, "There's no question that one of the great cycles of the traditional ancient Mayan calendar comes to a completion of its count at that time in 2012,"says E.C. Krupp, Ph.D., director of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, California.

The Feather represents Balance


The spiral. Ancient people could recognize that the stars overhead spun around a central point every night, and today we know we reside within a spiral galaxy. Thus, the spiral can be a symbol of the universe and our place within it and of the great cycles that constantly advance within this universe.
