Myth Inspired Arts and Crafts Myths and legends come together on the web at www.MorgainesWell.com . The site is presently featuring the work of one young artist from New England, Vivienne Blackthorne. Her work is lovely and haunting and she works in many mediums at this newly launched site. So far all that is up are some gorgeous pieces of hand made myth inspired jewelry. Vivienne has been haunted since childhood by the ancient myths of various cultures from the Greeks and Romans to her personal favorite, the Celts, and even to some degree the legends of the far north. Her work is also influenced by the teaching of Zen Buddhism. She comes from a unique family and was raised in a very unique way inside a "sangha", a co-operative of practitioners of eastern philosophy, where her father is presently guiding teacher. She discovered the old ways of paganism and witchcraft at around age eleven. Since then, she has spent nearly every waking hour searching and scouring the world over, every source she could find, from the sutras to the Mabinogion to many various pagan authors, some of them from the middle ages, thanks to her uncle's library, to learn as much as possible about the ancient traditions. She is now working to create healing and happiness for herself and others by keeping the old traditions of paganism and witchcraft alive. In order to bring back the ancient wisdom, she has started a small art lable, Morgaine's Well, which is dedicated to myths, magick, fun, healing, beauty, the arts, inspiration, and the stories that once held the power to move the stars through the sky, Today's mere myths and legends forgotten by most. Morgaine's Well is also equipped with a forum, where you can interact with Vivienne, and other like minded people; exchange ideas on many subjects from philosophy and religion, to art and tarot. Her inspired art is also available for purchase, from this easy to navigate user friendly site.

Spiritual Seeker Press FORTHCOMING RELEASE! Fulfillment of Being: Nurturing the True Self Quill Mastercraft ISBN 0-9758528-1-7 The Most Controversial Book on Personal Faith Ever Published! Fulfillment of Being: Nurturing the True Self is a controversial book which will rattle the status quo of religious practice to its very core. Beginning with definitions which clarify the difference between faith and religion, the text moves into an honest, unbiased study of the various religions which have colored the history of humanity, and how these organizations were corrupted over time. Mainstream clergy will find this text a threat, because it calls for individuals to think for themselves, leaving behind belief systems imposed on the masses by representatives of modern religious hierarchies. Readers are offered the opportunity to nurture a personal faith and spirituality in these pages. Quill blends ideas from both Western and Eastern philosophies, decades of practical experience and insight, and concrete reasoning to urge those who feel trapped by dogma to embark on the ultimate spiritual quest. The simple concept of gaining an understanding of life perspectives, personal potential and balance will allow readers to transform their lives, and their worlds, so to fulfill their true purpose on the physical plane of existence. Opening this volume will open many doors for readers, but merely reading the text will not create the changes necessary to transform one’s life. Quill does not offer a quick, easy fix to ordinary problems, but provides signposts for a life-long quest toward absolute fulfillment of being. Included in this volume as an Appendix is the enlightening treatise The Three Rights of Spiritual Seekers, which forthrightly presents the ultimate method whereby readers can make their lives all they were meant to be. ***** Quill Mastercraft is a mother, grandmother, journalist and dog lover living in South Bend, Indiana. Her own spiritual journey extends over four decades, involving studies of numerous religions and interaction with people from all walks of life. She is founder of the Grant E. Pontius Memorial Institute for Holistic Living, offering mentoring and private consultations to those who wish to pursue their personal spiritual journey toward fulfillment of being in a balanced way. To schedule an interview with Quill Mastercraft, contact Julie Ferraro, Publisher, at (574) 210-4981 or via e-mail: spiritualseekerpress@juno.com |

CD Review Title: Seventh Chakra Artist: Rhythm Works! Price: $10.00 Purchase from CD Baby - www.cdbaby.com/cd/rhythmworks Reviewed by Quill Mastercraft Vinny Carrasco has a musical background going back many years and, with his wife Judith Hizer, the two present what real drumming is all about: Seventh Chakra. The tracks - both original compositions and arrangements of traditional Middle Eastern and African songs - have lively rhythms which make the listener want to get up and dance, with abandon and joy. And while it might be thought only so much can be done with djembes, djun-djuns and shakers, Rhythm Works defies that stereotype with their skill and creativity. Their music encourages others to find the rhythm within themselves, and leaves you wanting more. |
