Moonflower & The Lady of the Winter Forest

 

 

Some of you may remember Moonflower and her adventures from

The Enchanted Forest of the Winter Fairies.

 

 Well it seems that Moonflower is here to stay for a while and her

adventures continue.

 

In this festive novel Moonflower is blessed by the presence

of the Lady of the Winter Forest and all the gifts that she brings

with her for the winter season.

 

A time of learning and great  joy  awaits Moonflower whereas

it would seem that her more self-centred neighbour Clarissa has a

few harsh lessons she needs to learn from the Lady.

It was a cosy Winter's Eve at Moonflower’s home.

Moonflower had been busy all day with her mother Aurora and they had been preparing their home for their Winter festivities whilst trying to keep her younger brother Bud Blythe out of mischief and harms way.

However unknown to the children this was to be a very special Winter's Eve for Moonflower.

This was a once in a lifetime gift from another world that the fairies and elementals had seen fit to place firmly on all of the children whose families observed and followed the ancient ways and traditions and who also believed in the magick of the universe as well as fairies, unicorns and creatures from other worlds.

And this year it was Moonflower’s turn.

This would be a night that she would never forget!

Here is a short excerpt from the novel I am currently writing:

♥ ☆ ♥ )O( ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ )O( ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ )O( ♥ ☆ ♥

Deep in the bowels of an ancient castle in a Southern Coast of Ireland; a crumpled looking elderly man lay on the cold and damp stone floor of his dungeon cell.

In the cell adjacent to himself lay another prisoner, although whom this person was the elderly man had no idea as he had not murmured a single word since his capture.

In this dim light it was almost impossible to make anything out except the grim looking guards whom from time to time pressed their faces up against the bars of his damp and dismal prison to check on himself and his companion in the cell next to his and occasionally slide some rancid looking food and water to them under the bars of their prison.

At first glance it was impossible to make out who this elderly man was and he was very careful to shield his eyes from anyone who looked at him too intensely; guarding his vivid blue eyes and his vision from their intense stares.

Upon his capture he had kept his eyes firmly fixed on the floor refusing to meet his captors for fear they may discover who he truly was and he knew keeping his identity a mystery to his captors was essential for his not only his own life but that of many others as well.

So he played dumb and just shrugged his shoulders at all the questions being fired at him as though he was too stupid to understand them.

His raggedy attire and demeanour was so far from his usual almost regal presence that he believed that he had so far pulled this deception off with success and it was entirely possible that he had in fact so far avoided his captors from finding out his true identity.

They had decided that he was probably just a mere mortal who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, however they weren’t taking any chances and had knocked him unconscious and dragged him all the way to this forsaken place and thrown him into the dungeons.

He now signed deeply to himself as he continued to ponder the predicament he found himself in.

He knew what had happened to him had been an almost certainty but he had no idea that the Black Lodge members had decided to resurrect this ancient relic of a castle and appropriate it for their own dark means and purposes.

Upon his capture he was very surprised to find himself in one of the most southern parts of Ireland and to discover that indeed the members of the Black Lodge had been busy resurrecting Castle Freke for its own uses and upon arrival he had not had a chance to investigate this any further as he had been thrown and locked into the dungeons of this castle.

The elderly man had not dared to try and use his magick to save himself for fear of being discovered and had decided that his safety and survival depended on his using his wits and not his magick.

So he had stuck with his ploy of behaving like an incoherent old man who had no idea who or what these dark wizards wanted or were talking about and so far this had served him well.

Although his conditions were abysmal at least he was still alive.

However the damp dark conditions were starting to get to him and he had developed a rather nasty cough and felt cold and damp now all of the time.

He knew for himself that time was running out and if help didn’t come soon that as sharp as his mind was his frail old body would give out on him.

Still this was still preferable to what would happen to him if his captors discovered whom he truly was and he knew he had to do what he could to protect his beloved ones.

He had sacrificed himself this far and was willing to take this all the way even if it meant his death.

Moonwillow and her Enchanted World of Gullveig

Moonwillow and her Enchanted World of Gullveig

I am in full creative flow writing the sequel to my first Gullveig novel. I am so glad we now live by the sea as it truly helps to inspire me. I thank the Goddess for all her help and inspiration in my life every day!

I am a child of the old ways and still have their vision of how our world is supposed to be...And this is the perspective that my writings come from...I truly believe in the magick of the earth and work with it every day of my life.

There are some days I sit in front of my laptop all day & nothing seems to want to go right...the ideas are there but the fingers don't want to work as they should on the keyboard, can't remember how to spell, knowledge of grammar flies out to some far distant land.......lol

The minute night time comes and it is time for sleepies, it all comes back, the story floods back into my head...& suddenly I can't keep up with inspiration as it flies freely.........so much for trying to get my completely nocturnal sleep patterns back on track.....

Ahh, the joy of working with the muses!!!!!

And there are some days when I can have amazingly productive days...

Amazing how a bit of sunshine can enhance the creativity and get it flowing...

As I continue to write the sequel to the 1st Gullveig novel... the lives of those who live in Gullveig continues to evolve....

However not all is well with their world.....

The story is now crossing many oceans as I continue to write & the blessed ones from many places realise a revival of an ancient order threatens all ...

I thought perhaps you might like to know where some of my inspiration comes from when I write...

I love anything to do with the medieval and Arthurian times.....

Especially when it comes to the ancient ways of Merlin, the priestesses, the Druids and the Seers...

I also love the traditions of the Native Americans and Shamanism.

I have just finished doing more research...

This time on Atlantis for my writing....

The plot is going in directions even I didn't expect...

But I trust my intuition will always guide me to where I need to go.......

Creativity has gone into overflow and all my Atlantean research has gone to good use...

I have just finished two more chapters of the new novel in this awake time...

Think I might be turning into a vampire or a bat...

Maybe it’s both...

I have just introduced a new variety of magickal creature not known before...

As I have just created them...

For the novel I am working on now......

Complete with their own language...

A kind of combination between elvish and dwarf language....

I have come to the conclusion that writers or at least some of us....

Me included....

Come from a different planet to the rest of the world....

We live in our own worlds within the world and live in a different time zone to those around us....

A different sphere of energy.....

And I wouldn't change a thing....I love it....

I love the fact that as I write the story unfolds and though I do have the outline of the plot even I don't know where it is going to take me....

I just trust in my creativity and allow it to lead me where it wants to go......

Over half way there now...

Have spent some considerable time translating spells and incantations into old English and making up some fantasy names for the new magickal creatures for the novel I am working on right now.....

I am just bubbling over with creativity as I continue with my writing

It is really coming together now.......

You will introduced to new varieties of magickal creatures not known before.........

As I have just created them......

I have just written about the Hallions home land...

Who are the Hallions?... I hear you ask...

Ahh ... Well...

You will just have to read the 2nd Gullveig novel to find out...

That is ... When I have finished writing it...

With each day that goes by…

Even I don't know which path my writing is going to take...I am really excited at how this novel is panning out...

This is my best work yet!

I so love it what I do...
