ABOUT TEENS
While surfing the Internet I came across a great site,
it's a Teen magazine online. It's called "About Teens" and several
categories such as "Jokes & Humor", "Funny Photos", "Short Stories",
"Books", "Teen Health" and several others including a place you can give
opinions and questions. I found this site to be a great source of fun and
help. So check it out at:
http://www.aboutteens.org/main.htm
Here's a joke from the site: A man escaped jail by digging a hole from his
jail cell to
the outside world. He emerged in the middle of a preschool playground.
"I'm free, I'm free!" he shouted. "So what," said a little girl. "I'm
four."
Also, their book reviews are pretty good, helps you pick a good one to
read! Check it out!

Book Reviews
THE WINTER CHILD
by Wendy Froud and Terri Windling
As promised, this month we return to The Old
Oak Wood, to another adventure with Sneezle, our famed hero, and his
friend Twig. This time to celebrate The Midwinter Festival, with
Sneezle at the center of activity. The Wood and the festival are
threatened-the seasons have not passed-time seems stuck in autumn,
alas how can the festival proceed? It is up to Sneezle and Twig to
find out why the seasons have not changed, and up to them to set
things right. This takes them through the darkest parts of the wood,
encounters with good and bad faeries, sorcerers, trolls, even a
magician and of course a couple of spells.
Once again the story surpasses expectations,
and the puppetry could sell the book alone. (I'd actually like to
know if her puppets ARE for sale!!!) The pictures are beautifully
done, and the story is full of magic and hope, and of course a moral
at the end.
Will Sneezle save the Wood? I recommend you
all find out!!
Until next month
blessings, cerridwen

 Mystic
Rowen Fae, talks to you about
the Faerie
Oracle Cards:
- THE FAERIES ORACLE by Brian
Froud. It is called a divination deck; a way of communicating with
and learning from the faeries. The deck consists of 65 cards and each
one provides a message from the fae in response to a question you have
asked or if you are trying to discover more about yourself, your life,
and your relationships. A card may turn up reversed in a reading,
which may indicate a blockage or delay in the message to be received.
A reading can be a simple one card spread or a series of cards. the
book that comes with the deck explains all this.

This month we review card #6 THE SINGER
OF CONNECTION
This card represents the connection between
all things. It brings wholeness and unites all, including the
past, present and future. Without this connection we feel
isolated. To keep the connections open we must remain open-to
love, compassion, trust. Emotions that close the connections are
fear, jealousy, anger. Centering is a good way to keep yourself
open and grounded, and meditation is an excellent way to do this.
In a reading this card tells us to be aware
of the connecting issues in the situation, including the
connections between all involved. it may also say we need to form
more connections. It states the connections we have are strong.
REVERSED indicates you need to center, or
earth yourself. You must focus on why the connections are not
present and what you can do to make connections, so your path will
flow.
Until next month, journey safely!!

- "Journey
Through the Mist"
Faerie Legends
Did you know that the "Wee Folk" or our "Good Neighbors" don't like to be
called
"Faeries"? "Fairy" has been mis-used throughout history by the English
speaking
human folk. It is believed that the word "fairy" is a late term, being
that after the
middle ages was equated with the meaning of mortal women who had magical
powers. The French "fai" comes the Latin "fatae" meaning "fairy ladies who
visited the household at birth and pronounced the future of the baby, as
the Three
Fates do." "Fairy" originally meant "fai-erie" - as "state of enchantment
and that
was transferred from the object to the agent." The faerie are a "wee
people" who
carry great power and prestige, particularly in the Celtic and Irish
lands. Of Irish
descent, faeries are the descendants of the original Irish, the Tuatha de
Danaan.

 Faerie
Artists:
 Myrea
Pettit
Fascinated from her earliest memories of the world of fairies, of
wondrous stories of my childhood, she tended not to over read books
but be enchanted by the wonderful illustrations of Margaret Tarrant,
Cicely Mary Barker, Rene Cloke and Arthur Rackham.
She spent so many of our childhood hours when
not doing our schoolwork, and every weekend, drawing and painting or
colouring.
Born in 1970, her interests centre around
classical music, conservation of the environment and wildlife.
She travels extensively throughout Europe in
her quest to search for the hideaways of the little people and their
friends.
My fairy drawings are my own inspiration,
either created for poetry or storybooks or to inspire the imagination
of children and adults. Subjects chosen have been selected to be used
in magazines, on limited edition plates and fine china, place-mats,
wall paper and other decorative products.
