I’m Madeira, I’m a writer, a dreamer, sometimes I feel I’m not quite real. I’m writing an erotic gothic faerie story in the form of a comic book.
Hi Medeira,
I shall check out your work if you give me the URL.
Glad you stopped by!
Arlene
Well as the book’s not out yet I can’t really give you much in the way of detail, however i could email you the script (I’d love it if you’d review it or just mention it when it does come out, as it’s probably going to be independently published, meaning I’m going to need all the promotional help I can get hehe) My email is glittertrashwhore@gmail.com
I love to write poetry and stories specially about things young women my age would not read. I’m an old soul on a teenage body or it feels that way. while my classmates were outside on the playground i was in the library reading or searching for books that would keep my interest and most of the time the books that i did find that kept my interest i was the first to check them out and a lot of them were old.
I can really relate to you Victoria! Having an inner life is so important and books relate to that.
I like the old stories too. Some new ones are really good. I love Tanith Lee’s short things and am about to write to her for permission to print a few on here.
That sounds wonderful i would love to read some of them! I am so happy i have found a person who actually understands what i mean it when i say i have an old soul, is a great relief.
I am a Danish artis, and I would love to share my world of fairy tails with you!
Do stop by my site Nidlongdir and say hello to me and the fairies!
Have a magic day!

Hello my darklings! I love to immerse within dark poetry – Here is one from me to you:
OWL
The darkness holds our most secret dreams
it will neither run from them, nor shed light on them
just embraces them in the folds of reality that they really are..
I did release a poetry book..its short, dark and sweet!
http://www.amazon.com/Owls-Perch-Melanie-M-White/dp/1451521146
Dear M,
Thanks for the poem, Wonderful.
Owls are very special birds.Its their time.
I have so much to share which I willingly do through writing… I believe we all have a message. I also believe it’s in sharing that we get that message across!
I came across your website and I know instinctively its one I will enjoy exploring.
Kindest regards
AngelJane
I’m glad to hear it! If you have something that you think would suit this blog, send it my way. Fiction, reviews, or essays on the genre are always welcome.
Hi Alyne,
Just to let you know my book ‘Esoteric Views on Health” is now available in amazon.com!! However, they didn’t put up an image and I’m sad.
Thank you very much for your dark faery tales. Fantastic page you have my dear. The pleasure is all mine. I will visit again and often.
Dark regards,
Camille
I’m glad you enjoy them.

i have been testing telepathy on people around me and discovered Hindi women to be very receptive. As i discovered recently one particular Lady sent out some very positive signals when we stopped to chat. It was pure loving kindness and i reciprocated, passers by were wondering what was going on. I don’t know much about Hindu spiritism, it is thought all Hindi Women have the essence of Kali Ma the darkside Goddess.
wishing to uncover my humble beginnings in wicca (Alex Sanders) as a naive neophite under Ishbel which was convened in her town house gallery. Recently. i was surorised to learn of another town house gallery in the capital of Egypt and a different Ishbel involved. The Ishel i knew had a house full of Eyptian stuff and she dressed like Cleopatra for ritual. She also wrote a book called ‘Other temples, Other gods’ but no trace of it survives.
Bless
Ian r
could not stop thinking about Ishbel since my last input. Ishbel had powerful magick. she delighted in doing battle on the astral plane, her mind was running at full bore, a poetess she had many cats
Ishbel taught me Karma is the key. A pity her husband was so sinister but Ishbel was superior to him. Ive seen their doppfelgangers recently and they made an impact
You studied under Alex Sanders? Or Alexandrian wicca?
i read Alex Sanders bio even before i heard of Maxine (read hers too) but then i went on to Dion Fortune and have stayed in her house in Somerset more time than i can remember. You see no one ever wanted me in their group so i fomed my own.

Samual Johnson said “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” well i am tired of London, i want to get out, lasted 15 years in this place and nothing much to show for it. so what is good about the place? forget about the dystopia of Greater London area and football! personally i regard the iconic institutions as the last of the fast disappearing good things in London.
one thing intriguing myself when it comes to the city, that is the square mile itself which is an autonomous precinct is certain places where a notice on the wall tells a little story about what occurred there in the dim distant past – fascinating stuff also charts showing the city’s development over the different era. ever since civilization based itself in cities there has always been a cabal of schemers intent on running the place. A great prime minister stated in parliament that the world is not run by who we think it is. I have gotten close to who is running London and it is not Boris (or even the Queen)lets call them the backroom boys. in my next installment i shall reveal about a subteranean city beneath the city.
Whilst winterspells is undergoing review here is the report on Ma MEERA’S visit to London (not really in the gothic genre)
the hall was a sporting pavilion near Harrow with estimated 300 persons in attendance when MA MEERA who calls herself the Mother entered the podium she
glided with such grace & dignity that she certainly has charisma it was about an hour in silence before i was directed to her for the laying on of hands wich took about 10secs and a fleeting glance at her face before dismissing me with eye contact.Result? Who knows!
wonder if she ‘gets off’ on 1500 devotees kneeling in front of her.
As a not so keen gardener you don’t have to dig far for evidence of former inhabitants the bunhill fields were bombed out during the blitz. London is ideal tunneling geology due to a soggy clay bedding the deepest wells are still under the bank of england fortress. a maze of tunnels exist just north of bishopsgate with entry gained via basement of the Shoreditch town hall. one can only speculate their purpose, some have been sealed up whilst others continue. the first excavations apart from Roman amphitheatres were likely to have been the crypt of some 300 churches to be used for burials and when they run out of space the remains were taken to bunhill (bone hill)fields and dumped there however remains of prominent personages wre laid in St Pauls crypt in perpetuity.in the 18th century those idle dukes and earls engaged in ‘hi jinx’in underground caverns within the city as a sort of eccentricism hired prostitutes entered disguised as nuns giving rise to rumours of a black mass
being conducted in the industrial revolution foot tunnels were made under the river.
Although not geographicly located with in the City there is a tunnel at Buckingham Palace which was meant to be used as an escape route during threats of invasion. bak in the City the bank of england has a chamber open to the public for viewing historical items pertaining to that industry but what the public don’t see is the immense vaults storing gold buillion much of which was dug in Ausralia during the 1851 gold rushes and transported around the world to be put bck in the ground. if you saw the film Goldfinger the actual interior of fort knox was in fact these vaults which to this day is guarded by regular soldiers a tradition instituted by the duke of wellinton. Across the road is mansion house home of the lord mayor during his one year tenure, beneath is a prison cell where Emmaline Pankhurst was detained under public order act whilst all suffragettes were kept at holloway. perhaps she knew too much!moving on to the guildhall with it’s basement trappings of gentlemen’s fraternal lodges and even the legend of Gog & Magog having some significance here. just north of moorgate is armoury house the home of the oldest and most unusual regiment on the order of battle the basement contains artifacts dating back to 1657 and is open to the public free admission due to occaissional landings of chinook helicopters on bunhill fields it is feasible that underground command post and/or mortuary could be set up if required The old bailey principal court of law has a ramp going below street level(no big deal) but the prisoner conveyance cannot reverse up so it spins around on a turntable. finallty the private undergroung railway of royal mail now disused also Telecoms phone exchange need mentioning as worthy but with the authorities announcing need for a super sewer to replace the old ones NOBODY wants it constructed in their vicinity hah hah!
The GODDESS has called my name!
Who is that calling?
Is it mighty ISHBEL?

Has any one seen the coloured illustration by Austen Osman Spare of Isis unveiled? This 1920s portrait shows astonishingly the face no man is permitted to see, it is the eyes that are very beguiling and hypnotic. Also this brings to mind ISHBEL a wiccan high priestess who founded the metephysical/theosophical elements within the craft.She both frightened me and humiliated me in the steps of progession.
Just wish all this disorder was stopped.
Let us all TRY to get on with each other

WARNING! An internet confidence trick.
Last year i requeste an on line horoscope reading and got a reasonable reply, then for a small sum of money i was going to hit the ‘big time’ relly make it in life. not responding this Tara medium (Illinois)kept telling me how interested she was in me and disappointed i never sent the money so i tried to connect with her on facebook but has an exclusive friendship base only
cosequently there is a complaints notice board on TaraMedium allegedly relieving
lonely people of their money.
Very unfortunate this is happening.
Karma is the key.

Don’t get ripped off!
i don’t know what to make of all this hype in our media now. as i journey into work (eek) and see the apathy on passengers faces, no one gives a hoot. one lass did not even knoe that Japan experienced an earthquake/tsunami/reactor meltdown. how thick is that? having spent a long time reseach the JFK assasination conspiracy my brain is so overloaded i just don’t know what to think anymore. people are sheeple

The Order is in need of new initiates, couples welcomed. No satanists. The Order is London based with frequent journeys to Glastonbury.
Bless
The esoteric groups here in London are in the main, quite recent ‘offshoots’of
previous societies due to power struggles within. For me i go back to the philosophers of ancient times for inspiration. more to follow
Bless
Now supposing all of this started way back in time as nomads decided to congregate in cities for protection and eventually commerce, laws, wars against rivals etc. Then came influencial individuals either the strongest or wisest (lets call them the ‘back room’ boys) who could hoodwink the populace for profit. But let us just go back a lot further. Does any one believe Atlantis existed?
Bless
ian r
Yes I do believe that Atlantis existed and before it went down, the knowledgeable ones left the continent and spread to places like Egypt and Asia. What are your views?
Alantis can be researched in ancient accounts,legends and in more recent times novels,films a song and incorrectly forcast as raising above water again in 1992. didn’t happen so – the one common thread is that they were apparently highly intelligent beings.
Mention of human sacrifice, now that goes against our law ‘harm no one’. wonder how Kali ma and Isis accepted this

Want to know the spookiest street in London towne. It’s got to be Steeles Road

I had this dream: I’m listening to your fascinating talk “Where History Ends” and hear you saying things that I must support though in a subjective fashion. I was born clairvoyant and telepathic. Over the years that I was struggling to recognize these things, I have had visions and dreams of a vivid and emotional nature.
In the dream I am in a boat lying on a bed with my eyes closed. I hear a make voice ask me what I see – are we anywhere near land? I know we are on the Atlantic Ocean heading towards Ireland, but I feel angry inside, tired of being asked over and over again. I open my eyes and see a group of bearded old men crowded around me. I feel nothing but hatred for them I think because I feel I have been used as a slave. I get up from the bed and fight them off which is easy and see myself walking down the deck of the ship – I see myself from behind. I am maybe 13 years old, in a blue medieval style dress with a long golden plait down my back. The sea is very rough. I walk down the deck and throw myself into the sea – just to be rid of those old men, I sense I might have washed up one shore, but not f I was alive or dead.
What do you think of that?
I think you saw your past live.
Regards
Hock
Something to do with Atlantis,maybe.
You are Morgana Le Fay, central character
in Dion Fortune’s The Sea Priestess. The
bearded old men are Phonecian traders bent on exploitatation (they did invent the modern alphabet) Ireland or more correctly Eirie is a very spiritual land.
With your powers you have no need for anger.The soul does not hate or fear or even have sex.If you drown you will be cared for by the inhabitants of Lyonnaise and be re incarnated as a stronger persona with recall of your past

The summer solstice rallied a gathering from far and wide, however the bleak drizzle seemed more applicable to the winter solstice and the moon could not be
seen in Avalon this time. Some of us expericed intermitant disruption in our channeling which was explained by a certain ‘one who knows’ that preparations for the nearby pop festival included the intallation of 5 communication masts by the electonic media causing interferance. One hundred twenty five thousand paying spectators are on the way to a week long mud bath.
