What We Take From The Spirit World

Fairy Tales And Mythology Have Always Been An Exaggerated Distillation Of The Real World. Think Of Them As Blueprints For How To Deal With A Multitude Of Situations That Can Arise In A Person's Life. The Beauty Of Them Is That Their Analogies Resonate So Deeply And They Also Entertain While They Teach.

A Long Time Ago A Bunch Of People Reached A General Consensus As To What's Real And What's Not And Most Of Us Have Been Going Along With It Ever Since.

As The New Work Fills My Notebooks, I've Come To Realize That The Characters In My Stories Were So Real Because I Really Did Want To Get Close To People, I Really Did Want To Know Them. It Was Just Easier To Do It On Paper, One Step Removed.

Witchery Is Merely A Word For What We Are All Capable Of - Heightened Nightsight, An Empathy Shared With The Beasts, A Utilization Of The More Obscure Abilities Of Our Minds. Nothing That Science Can't Explain Away. Wizardry Is Spells And Enchantments. Fairy Tales.

It Was All Cheese And Applause.
