FaerieWorlds, 2010 Through My Eyes

Tribal. Rhythmic. Living Art.


Faerieworlds is an experience in modern myth-making, magic and ceremony created spontaneously­. It is living art in color, song, costume and dance.


The vibration of the space created at Mount Pisgah in Eugene Oregon for Faerieworlds, is formed with lights that bless the circle, establishing the sacred space before the ceremonies begin. A stage with enormous wings goes up, waiting for the artists who grace it with sounds in a style resonant with otherworldliness, rich with elements of earth, air, fire and water expressed through Celtic drum, harp, cello and long trance notes sung by women with sinewy voices.


While many of the visitors and vendors are visiting from Renaissance or middle ages festivals, the vibration here is mythical. The magic you find here is not slight of hand, but a tentative step toward real magic, a space that is being reborn purely from common memory, from heart. One that is much, much older and shamanistic.


Costumes are professionally done with care to every intricate detail, any one of these designs being the product of talented artists, imagination and abandon. Winged creations in bright flowing colors, belly jewels and body paint, they express the visions of the faery that come to us, shimmering, ethereal, other worldly.


Watching them dance in the faerie circles, and parade through the walking “streets” is watching living, breathing art.yes"">


It is mind-blowing to see this creation, this art form take place before your eyes engaging your participation. The line between the artist and the audience fades and we all become the art itself–expressing to the divine source, our message of appreciation and delight. At one point, dancers whose belts are harnessed in the trees, float down among us in their sparkling expression, reminding us that magic is right here all the time; it is you who open to its perception.


The most common words you hear spoken here at Faerieworlds are: “amazing”, “wonderful”, “love”, “heart.”yes""> The air contains more than oxygen, it sparkles and holds faeriedust that makes everyone mellow and relaxed, respectful of all life, each other and the universe.

I am enjoying my friends many of who have been named for the natural
world or to honor their totem animals such as: Sparrow, Raven and Rain.


A friend of mine, Spring, has been taking photos of Faerieworlds for many years, (I’m hoping she’ll post them up on elvenworld.ning.com soon!). She captures the space in the lens right at dusk,
when the light of the camera and the light of the sun are in such a way to show the faeries to our human eyes; which has been called the time when the “veil between the world is thin.” Her photos show tens of thousands of “faerie orbs”: white or gently colored orbs that look like bubbles fill the air, rising up from the stage and gently floating and sparkling all around the place.


If you believe in faeries now, this place is as close as you’ll get to “home” that exists on Earth.yes""> If you weren’t sure about the faeries before this experience, no one will convince you, only welcome you into our world to participate in this spontaneous praise to the gods and goddesses of the
Earth.


Undoubtedly, as you dance into the wee hours of the morning with tribal drums playing as you watch the sun rise, you too will know what it feels like to have been with the faery and my guess is, you too, will keep this precious experience close to your heart, as a source of inspiration, a feeling
of intense community and love that you can hold in your totems, art, jewels or
crafts you take home with you, keeping you close to the faery all year long,
until at last, it is time for Faerieworlds again.


See you there! www.faerieworlds.com.

The video/movie/slideshow I created to celebrate Faerieworlds 2010 is located here "Faerieworlds 2010, Through My Eyes" and also on YouTube. Blessings to all.

I posted a few of the best orb pictures from this year, I will be making it a spiritual project to hunt down the other pics on my external hard-drive and put them all together in a special place. Once completed I will post past FaerieWorlds orbs for you all as well <3

Sounds wonderful!
Wish I was there, my kids would of loved it.
we have small parks here, so we have no Renaissance or middle ages festivals or anything like that locally.
It's a shame.
Glad to read the report from you :)

Multi Dimensional Reality

The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament"  or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.

A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
 the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...
