"The Frost Giant's Daughter"
(From
our "Quarterly
Magazine")
Normally, on a typical day, out in our Magick
Studio Garden, the residents, be they Elves, Goblins,
Wizards and more, can be relied upon to be, whilst often
noisy and irritating, at least predictable, and
therefore, we can (just about) cope with them.
But this morning was different!
My first reaction was "oh, will she set the
trees alight?!"
Then I realised, after struggling with why
the garden was, in fact, not now a raging edge of forest
fire, that this Queen of Fire, this Goddess, was a time
traveler (perhaps the clue was in the fact that she was
naked and not therefore exactly equipped for the cold of
this winter's day) and thus, the raging flames around
her, were not of our time, and were encased in whatever
time time this royal personage was originating from
(though it remains a puzzle as to why she was appearing
in our garden?
Perhaps, as has
been so typical of royal stories down the aeons, she
was troubled, and her soul was reaching out,
struggling to connect with a more settled and
harmonious era?
On a
day-to-day basis, given the so-often noisy and
disruptive antics of our garden residents, she's
be unlikely to find total solace, but for sure,
in the overview, she'd be welcomed, and she'd
find at least a fascinating environment that
could keep her mind active and not dwelling on
whatever, perhaps even treacherous, er she might
be encased in.
One can only hope she finds the way.
The way into our magick
garden, where all and anything is
possible . . .
