KernowWitch said...: Thank you Minerva...I agree I feel for the dragon too. I also think that the dragon is a symbol of St. George's conquests 'Look, I can even slay a dragon', arrogance really...It's interesting to see how he is depicted through artwork in different parts of the world ....Hugs Chrissy xx; 24 April 2012 at 04:06

A Warm Welcome To All Who Visit Here

As a child I believed in Santa Claus, Faeries, and suchlike and I still believe in the spirit of the magic I felt then. Within each of us is the essence of the child we once were, which becomes evident at times such as Halloween, Christmas and Easter. With this in mind I wanted to create a place where I could visit for a while to escape the pressures of being an adult..lol.. Who doesn't want to visit a Fairy Ring, touch the waters of a Holy Well, see a Unicorn fly or believe that Santa visits once a year!!! Mixed in with this will be snippets of interest, daily life, crafts, tales, fables and things that go bump in the night...and as my name suggests witches and suchlike. So do drop in again and just leave a note for the folks back home ''Away with the Faeries, be back soon''...
