Dragons everywhere
Its the nearing the end year of the dragon and I'm a dragon and adore making dragons and writing about them as well! In fact in my
Chronicles of the Wind Hound a seventh year Dragon has entered the Great Iron City, destroyed one of the great pillars of reverence and has gone in search of 'The Hidden'. With a number of commissions for Dragons on my books for March I am experimenting madly with lustres and scales. If you take a look at the page: New Dragons you will see where I am heading exciting times!
On Monday I am working all day on 'Quests' The search for the need for, the hoped for, the desired. Today I am searching for Moses Quest; The ability to part the Red Sea. We all at times in our lives search for our inner strength when our inner weaknesses are controlling us, I think that is true, certainly it is of me. I have been surprised to find out in my researches on Moses how unsure he was of his abilities to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into a New Promised land. I am looking into the Power of his Gesture's, with the holding of the rod up to the Mighty asking almost for guidance, and the hand that reaches out to the sea. The clay feels strange in my hand as I make this Gesture.

Two very enjoyable workshops for storytelling in the past two weeks:

Two day storytelling workshop with Shamanic elements As always: A lovely group of people came together for a 'reaching into ourselves' workshop to help find the individual voice.
