Priscilla Hernandez has with the music and lyrics of her CD ‘Ancient Shadows’ found a gem of magic in her song the Willows Lullaby which is achieving world wide recognition for her singing, songwriting and her lyrics , produced on a captivating video by the genius of director Hector Corcin.
Priscilla Hernandez: The Willow’s Lullaby – The best bloopers are hereOne cannot fail to be totally enraptured by her twilight world something we all share yet many fail to recognise are those deep thoughts just as we fall to sleep and also as we slowly wake from our dreams, to reality. Spare some thoughts for the willow and beware..
Beware …
Beware …
go to find a safer place to rest
When you hear the willow’s hiss
beware if you dare dream neath its leaves
beware, go to find a safer place

It mourns the forest that it once dwelt
It mourns the birds that had left their nests
and flew away …

When the willow sings half alive
it releases all the pain it hides inside
if you hear its song alone
You fall sleep and your soul is gone

This willow has bitter heart
This willow has bitter soul
so…
Beware…

Live Earth rejoicing is everywhere in the Fairies World!

Fairies need messengers to believe in them, those that do believe work tirelessly to send out the news of disasters waiting to happen and the possible demise of humankind.

At last the message about the state of our beautiful planet Earth, our protestations for so long presented through the eyes of our knowing Fairy Artists on their canvasses and through their words, showing that destruction of rain forests, pollution of land sea and air, over fishing, protection of endangered species has for so long gone unheeded and that we need more love and understanding of nature for the survival of our planet for us to pass on the beauty to our children and future generations.
‘Live Earth’ and ‘Long live Earth’ is a message from the fairies!

Once upon a time Faerie dreams didn’t all come true, but that was only until Disney Parks and Resorts spokesman Donn Walker announced this week “We are updating our Fairy Tale Wedding guidelines to include commitment ceremonies,” “This is consistent with our policy of creating a welcoming, respectful and inclusive environment for all of our guests.”

This Disney change of policy will allow same sex couples to exchange vows in commitment ceremonies with their popular Fairy Tale Weddings packages at their Disneyland California and Walt Disney World Resort Parks, and Disney’s cruise ships. Packages start at a modest £4000 ($8500) to more than £23,000 ($45,000).

Faery wedding packages include the organising and the entertainment services of the resorts, including important guests like Mickey and Minnie Mouse and other familiar Disney characters with the support of special shows, music, live bands, theatrical performances acting and dancing for the happy couples and their guests.

Added attractions of the resorts include special food menus and flowers. Use of the Wedding Pavilion at Walt Disney World all can be professionally recorded photographed or made into a video production. For an extra fee, couples can exchange vows in front of Cinderellas Castle.

Surely we can we expect similar arrangements for Hong Kong Disneyland, Disneyland Paris and Disney Tokyo Resort to follow and then we can all live happily ever after?

When’s the last time you saw an ugly fairy? Really. To be honest, I don’t recall seeing an unsightly pixie…ever. Ugly ducklings, yes. But fairies? They’re just so darn cute. And, apparently, it’s enough to tick some people off.

Such is the case in Fairy Jewels where you encounter an evil wizard who simply can’t stand the adorable little imps. And so, the story begins.

As fate would have it, a malevolent mage has captured every fairy in the land and locked them into his dark, dank castle. Your charge is to find and free these sweet little creatures and return them to fairyland — a task that requires matching wits, and gems, if you’re going to be successful.

Fairy Jewels is, well, a jewel of a game — a non-violent treat for the whole family. It’s not the most fully-featured or ground-breaking offering, but it’s packed with enjoyment.

“Pan's Labyrinth” brings a terrible fairy tale of dark fantasy to life
The Spanish-language dark fairytale Pan's Labyrinth also won three Baftas awards including the award for best foreign language film In London at the Royal Opera House Sunday 11 February 2007.
It's about an imaginative little girl, Ofelia, played by IVANA BAQUERO, whose wicked stepfather is a brutal officer in Franco's army.

The child seeks refuge in a dark world of fantasy. This is Del Toro's most ambitious and accomplished film to date, although, despite its affinities to other childhood stories about lonely little girls who experience strange adventures, it's not exactly a film for children.

It's very dark and violent, with the fanatical and brutal stepfather, acted by Sergi Lopez, more terrifying than any of the fantasy creatures Ofelia encounters.

The story is compelling and deep, the film is both beautiful, exciting, often horrifying. The digital effects are superb one cannot help but be totally immersed in this powerful story.

To Aimee from the many Fairy Artists from around the World who have been touched by the story of your special love of fairies you have a special place in our hearts that our wishes may come true for you, as well as your wishes too.

Meet Aimee Butler – a very special friend to the fairies.

Aimee is suffering from leukaemia for the second time in her young life.
(please read the letter to all fairy believers and artists from Aimee’s mother below)

Aimee is a true believer in fairies and her love of fairy folklore fills her world. Together with her brother older Leigh, Aimee enjoys all kind of magical books, games and films from the tales of Han Christian Anderson to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy with its own stunning artworks.

Thank you to Aimee’s honorary grandparents John and Rosemary Richardson who told us about Aimee and to Aimee’s Mum for all her letters to us.

Letter from Aimee’s mother

Bringing Magic into Aimee’s Life

Aimee is fighting leukaemia for the second time in her young life. The disease acute lymphoblastic leukaemia the most common type of childhood leukaemia – first reared its head in 2000 when she was just five. Following two and half years of gruelling chemotherapy and almost a year off treatment, Aimee and her family thought the disease was finally behind them. They had celebrated the best Christmas that the family had enjoyed for some time, when they were devastated with the news a few days later at the beginning of 2004 that the leukaemia had came back.

In a tribute to fairies world Aimee’s mum Rosie said: “Without the love and continuing support of David and Myrea at Fairies World, and their many artists friends and supporters Aimee” spirit would have greatly dimmed over the last weeks and months. After David’s call to help send Aimee fairy kisses and fairy pictures to cheer her throughout the long days of treatment and recovery our house is filled with fairy pictures and figures. If you pause for a second you can almost feel the beat of fairy wings on your cheek.

While treating childhood leukaemia is considered one of cancers great success stories with cure rates of up to 85%, doctors are still trying to understand why one in four children with the disease will suffer a relapse. Children like Aimee, who relapse, face a tough time in trying to beat the disease a second time, either through more years of chemotherapy or a bone marrow transplant.
With a rare tissue type Aimee still needs to find a bone marrow donor before a transplant can take place.

Aimee has courageously fought the disease through 18 weeks of aggressive chemotherapy and its side effects to bring the disease under sufficient control to give a bone marrow transplant the chance of success. Vulnerability to infection during the chemotherapy places an added burden of the immune system and Aimee has also fought against various infections including pneumonia, chicken pox and a tummy bug.

Throughout her illness Aimee has also depended on regular blood and platelet transfusions to offset the effects of the leukaemia and the side effects of the chemotherapy. It is likely that blood donors who subsequently opt to become bone marrow donors could hold the key to finding a match for Aimee and hundreds like her adults and children – who battle this terrible disease.

As medical staff repeatedly search some 50 bone marrow registers around the world for a potential bone marrow match Aimee’s mother, Rosie Butler, has approached the Scottish National Blood Bank to explore further ways of helping Aimee.

As a result of these discussions with staff in the Scottish National Blood Bank Aimee’s plight in searching for a bone marrow donor is set to become a feature of National Blood Donor week which runs in Scotland from Monday June 8th. A local campaign to encourage blood donors to consider becoming bone marrow donors will also be launched with a possibility of rolling the campaign across Scotland.

In the meantime Aimee is undergoing regular chemotherapy to keep the disease at bay until a bone marrow transplant can be performed.

If anyone who is touched by Aimee’s story and they want to help her and other youngsters like her Rosie asks that you get in touch with your local blood bank and find out about becoming a blood donor and possibly a bone marrow donor.
