Fairy Fun

I am a great lover of all things Faery. Folklore, art, religion and rituals. My favorite artists are Terri Windling, Neil Gaiman, Wendy and Brian Froud and of course the Cecilia Barker art. I came across this fun thing where you can find out what your faery name is and also what your vampire name is.

My fairy name is Thorn Hailfilter
She is a protector of the lonely.
She lives in brambles and blackberry bushes.
She is only seen on midsummer's eve.
She wears purple and green like berries and leaves. She has cheery turquoise wings like a butterfly.

Rather lovely, don't you think? I think it fits me just fine. I'm embarking on reading a collection of stories edited by Terri Windling called The Fairy Reel: Tales from the Twilight Realm. Then I will embark on another book by her called "The Greenman." Should make for fascinating reading. Remember, don't step into a circle of mushrooms, the faeries will grab you and you will be lost forever. (I actually saw a mushroom circle once. It's a treat because of the rarity of them. You usually only find half circles of mushrooms :)

My vampire name is....rather ominously

The Great Archives determine you to have gone by the identity: Sultana of The Ghastly
Known in some parts of the world as: Scourge of The Crows
The Great Archives Record: Intelligent, knowing, wise and shrewd. This winged one was cast from the firmament.


Go on, you know you want to! Just click on the link and click the fairy tab and then the vampire tab.
