Hello,

I'm interested in compiling a list of recommended links and books for this community, for reference and inspiration. I've managed to find a few links, but I would love to hear if anyone else has stumbled upon some valuable ones.

Have you ever went outside after a good, long thunderstorm?
it's so...enchanting. The purple sky and water dripping off of foilage.
My spirit soars when I'm alone or walking the dog. At these times I can sense the fae of all kinds watching me and seeing that simple enchantment splayed across my face.

I have been looking for a community like this for a while, and even started to create my own site for one when I couldn't find what I wanted. However, I have other demands on my time so progress has been slow with that.

I have a couple of pieces to share. My domains are all down, though, so I'm having to use imageshack for the time being, which isn't being very reliable for me today. Hopefully the images will show.

One of the few Faery art sites I can wholeheartedly recommend:
Muse Hill: the Mythic Art of Oliver Hunter.

Unfortunately, I can only link to an older version of this site because the newer version was deleted by a server, but even the older material is still wonderful and a great alternative to other "fairy art" websites.

I am wondering if any here draw upon personal experience with the fey in the creation of their art, or if this is in fact a group of artists cum mythological scholars? If the former, can anyone describe such experiences?

My dear cat, tis the sabbath yet again and I shall not let you out.

There is no telling what those foireaux cats shall be about.

The eating of little sprites and imps shall not happen tonight.

However I know that if I find that white hair all shall be alright!

What's that? a pact you require?

I'm sorry, I have not the meats you wish me aquire!

I've created this community as an extension of another community I moderate, mythicart, as well as to establish an alternative to the many and various other Faery communities LJ has to offer. Please read the community information to really determine if this is the sort of Faery community you're interested in.

I'm still in the process of writing, designing, organizing, etc. so please excuse the current state of this journal. In the meantime though, please feel free to join the community (and/or its corresponding webring), post your own artwork, poetry, essays, reviews, book or link recommendations. I hope to post some artwork and link recommendations in the near future to get things started :-)
