People Actually Believe in Faeries (Random Find!)

While I was looking for magazines for my class I saw a magazine for Fairies. Yes Fairies. There are people who believe in Fairies. I am not joking. Just as there is a community for people who make spells and practice witchcraft (which are not the same by the way), there are also people who do "Fae" magic (or magick whichever spelling fits). People believe that Faes are actually spiritual entities. They do have an origin that isn't mostly Disney. So no, Tinkerbell is still not real. I found it quite interesting as I flipped through it, that people actually go to Faerie or "Fae" conventions and dress up as faeries. This magazine is actually sold at your local Borders (if you have one). So if you don't believe me, see for yourself in the magazine section. I believe it is either in the religion or culture section. I am not lying to you the magazine does exist. (Click here if you want to see their website). This current issue has an interview with a "real life troll." I am just amazed this even exists. But I like it for the fact that they are defying the status quo of Faeries just being Disney characters. What do you think?

Artist of the Month: Ian Daniels

I went to a Borders near my job and walked by this great locked display of gifts and found one beautiful version of Tarot Cards called the Vampyre Tarot Cards. From what I could make out, the art on the box was just amazing. The artist behind these dark intrinsic works of art is Ian Daniels. The whole color scheme of most of his art pieces online are amazing. I wish I was able to leaf through the cards but I figure there is a reason why they have it under lock and key. Sigh* And what is even more attractive of Ian's works of art is that they have their own unique style. There is no great influence of DC, Marvel or Anime involved. So in a sense, Ian defies the status quo in the art world. If you want to see more of his stuff you can click on his name that's hyperlinked above.
