Lauren coming to you...
Fair day, all.
If it appears that we aren't as dedicated to our blog as we previously were, you couldn't be more wrong. Since our last post, we have had problems with our server, among other things; glitches that have to be worked out anytime one makes such a large move in so little time. However we are here, and we will continue on until we are up to full speed. Today is Kaithlin's day off so I, Lauren, will post Dream Teller's answers to your e-mail. Hopefully, within the next week we will have all of the problems with the system solved and be back with you, each day.
To Trini in Georgia: My dear, your common sense should be screaming at you to question, question, question.... 'Tis no' a matter of your knowing the swamps so well. Stop and wonder why those people have no' sought the tour through a known professional guide. As I am wont to often preach, listen to your instincts and follow their guidance, for those will no' fail you. Too, you should wonder how strangers from the opposite coast came to know of the fact that you grew up with the swamp as your playground, how they came by your physical address and e-mail address, etc. Take care, for the exhorbitant amount of money they have offered for your services is vastly out of line with ready tour prices. Aye, and I have no doubt the check will clear, for those types are willing to pay handsomely for what they want, and I fear 'tis you and no' your experience they have placed a bounty upon. I can no' tell you what to do, child; only advise you. You must make your own choices and do so well before the February deadline. May the Fates smile upon you and Blessed May You Be.
To 'Friends of the Wee Ones' in S. Carolina: I appreciate your positive compliments for the information I provided regarding Faery-Folk. And as much as I appreciate your offer, 'tis an inopportune time for me to fulfill your request. I have visited your website and commend you on both content and beauty. Mayhap I may consider links with certain websites at a later date, but for the moment we are stretched to thin trying to catch up, for my staff to find time to browse every site which expresses the desire to link to us. As I am sure you know, there are those I will no' subject my visitors to. Again, thank you and Blessed May You All Be.
To Silver Bullet in California: 'Tis rare that I assume anything but your adopted moniker pretty much speaks for itself. 'Tis truly a sign of how little Outsiders like yourself know about those whom they deem unfit for society. I would laugh had the situation no' become so pathetically common, but I am no' amused with the likes of you and the diatribe you spew. Me thinks you are no more than a Wanna- Be hunter. Take care you do no' run into the 'real' Kinds of whom you spout your desire to 'wipe from the face of the earth'. For if you do, your silly 'bullets' will no serve your purpose, and you may wish to find your information from something more dependable than myth.
To Greta in Virginia: 'Tis only by choice that one allows one's self to be placed in such a predicament as you have described. That constant dread of which you speak is that which I continually preach of; instinct. Those are merely movies designed for entertainment, but when someone decides to 'copy' the action for the thrill of it, you have the makings (there long before now) of a bonofide 'psycho'. What is there about the plans he described to you and your friends that was no' crystal clear from the start? I strongly advise you to speak with someone in law enforcement and get the information down on record. Then, you and your friends need to stay well away from him lest you be a victim of his psychotic behavior. Blessed May You Be.
To the many who have requested information regarding the Vampyre Roman: As I have said before, Roman is no' the type to seek friendship outside his circle of friends and allies. Roman is who he is; a man who is Vampyre. He is a Hunter and I assure you he is no' someone you wish to approach as you would an ordinary Outsider. Certainly, he is possessed of extreme good-looks but that does no make him the type to play upon such. He has no interest in others than whom he presently knows. So, those of you who come here for nothing more than entertainment, enjoy what you read here, about him and others. For those who seek truth, you already know... Blessed May You All Be.
To Zack in Tennessee: Ritual is geared to one pupose through thought, feeling, and movement. The purpose will vary depending upon that which one seeks to accomplish. Ritual is present in ordinary circumstance; part of daily life, such as in hygiene, work, and play. 'Tis also part and parcel of the daily life of those whom use it for extraordinary purpose. Do no' make more of the 'word' than is intended. Ritualistic behavior is no' the single thing that sets one apart from another; but the purpose, in and of itself. So, while Witches do, indeed, use Ritual, so, too, do Outsiders. To answer your last question, the ritualistic purpose of the African Violet is for spirituality and protection. Blessed May You Be.
To Jarrod in Michigan: There is a variety of Tarot cards available on the open market. 'Tis difficult to advise someone as to which deck to choose, therefore I generally tell the person to attempt to 'feel' the resonance contained within the decks. As you have stated you are no' a Master of the Tarot, but a budding student, I will tell you what I say to other students; move past the come-on meant for entertainment purposes, only. If you are truly dedicated to learning the mysteries of the Tarot, you know a come-on when you see it. The book of instructions that comes with the various decks are fairly basic information, but the ability to read the Tarot lies within one's ability to channel what one 'reads' from the particular spread. All things considered, if one is looking to make a fast buck or simply entertain, the cards will no' resonate for one. On the other hand, if one is seeking truth and intending to use it for reasonable and fair purpose, and one is willing to spend the time to learn, the Tarot will resonate and provide what is sought. Blessed May You Be.
To Frank in Texas: Choosing gems and stones for their majical qualities is a matter of personal preference. Each has its own purpose and is synonymous with a particular element and planet. The picture you e-mailed appears to be that of Amethyst in the rough (unpolished). Among its purposes are healing, peace, protection, and happiness, and its element is Water. Take into account the person who gifted you with it and therein will you find her reasons for doing so. As you have stated that the lady is, in fact, a Witch then I would tend to believe that her path is that of the Healer. Mayhap you have need of healing; be that of heart, mind, body, or spirit, or need of protection; for whatever purpose. And lastly, it may simply be a 'gift' from one who senses something special about you and wishes to become better acquainted. Time will tell. Blessed May You Be.
To Martina in Alabama: The word 'Wizard', of European derivation, is applicable to both male and female practicioners. Many mistakenly believe Wizards and Sorcerers are one and the same but no' is the case. While both are Witch, each cleaves to a different path and has different types and degrees of powers. As to why there is no word differentiation between male and female Wizards, such as is the case with Sorcerers and Sorceresses, who really knows? I do know that in these modern times, the term 'Wizardess' has come into vogue, and that is truly a modern term. Blessed May You Be.
To Tracy in Idaho: There are many myths concerning the Berserker and the Werewolf. Both were ancient warriors who fought under the great Odin's protection. The Berserker was a man who could call to himself the spirit of the bear and the Werewolf the man who could call the spirit of the wolf to himself. Thus they were mighty warriors; feared, and sought for destruction. As both types of warrior live in these modern times, (aye and their numbers are few in comparison to others) 'tis their knowledge, along with their actual presence, which often disprove much of the historical myth we read. Blessed May You Be.
For those of you who continue to inquire as to when my novel will be published, I can no' give you an exact time but I am moving forward with the process. Hopefully, the first of the series will be published in late spring or early summer. Blessings Upon All, Dream Teller.
