https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/stairway/ After six ‘steps’ (posts), I have reached the top of my Silent Eye ‘Leaf and Flame:The Foliate Man’ stairway. This sixth post marks the start of a new ‘floor’… Happy ever after, is it, Cariad? Oh, we’d all like to think so, wouldn’t we? The tales we hear at our mother’s knee have that as their…

Leaf and Flame: Sue’s journal of the first morning The Silent Eye There was a full moon as we walked back from the inn on the Friday night and the moon greeted us the following morning, sailing across a pastel sky. It has become something of a tradition to greet the dawn on our weekend workshops. The sortie is not obligatory, but every year … Read More Leaf and Flame: Solar Symbol

Finding Gawain – Act Two Gawain staggers from the castle of Camelot, the memory of the Green Knight’s bloody axe vivid in his mind as though the mere dropping of it onto the temple floor carried no significance, and its dark presence remains with him, still. Across the land he strides, stumbling and falling in the darkness, mouthing unintelligible noises as the full horror … Read More Finding Gawain – Act Two

The letter was waiting for me when I returned from the delightful Foliate Man weekend. Having read it, I tried to put its full import on hold for as long as possible by allowing Lady Ragnell to stay, to tell more of her story than I had initially thought possible. But my body reacted even as…

The Silent Eye “Pick a card,” said the headless apparition, holding out his severed head to the assembled company, each in turn. “Any card…” So, how do you behead a green giant and have him pick up his head and walk? You could use lighting, make up and computerised effects, but we are fairly low-tech where special effects are concerned… we had a sheet, … Read More Leaf and Flame: shadow play

The Silent Eye A pre-panic lunch at the Queen Anne is traditional. By this point in the proceedings, however, some stomachs are not at all cooperative, only being willing to be fed out of necessity. Food is not really the focus, though….it is at the Queen Anne that the team gather and early arrivals know where to find us. Once we are in the … Read More Leaf and Flame: Getting started

Finding Gawain – Act One The last of the sunlight has gone. The light of the torches flickers in the great hall. The Table Round has assembled for more Yule merriment, but the room has turned to ice. The giant, green figure rides on his equally mighty horse into the sacred space of Camelot’s inner chamber. It is a monstrous sight; a circle of … Read More Finding Gawain – Act One

(Thanks to Chris H for this photo of me in Foxy Lady Mode) https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/crossroads/ Sometimes, strange creatures are encountered at the crossroads of our lives… Fox appears at dawn, pointing at potential danger on the snow-trembling lip of my cave’s wide mouth. Fresh fall of flakes whirl in forlorn whispers outside. Huddled in my cocoon of…

The Silent Eye A silent given grace you seek to find Within the moonlit forests of the mind Where mossy doubt obscures the silver stream And clarity comes only in a dream Where thou and I and we are of one mind Blessed by the lucent magic of the Hind. View original post

Cursed! Crouched in crunching bones and cruelly deformed face! Left, at the whim of a power greater than I, to limp haltingly through the Enchanted Forest, searching for a true and chivalrous knight. Ah! But the loathsome irony of it all! That I, Lady Ragnell – accounted so beautiful in days gone by – should now…
