Having travelled from the successful Faerieworlds Festival in Oregon , via Chicago to Zurich to Barcelona and to the bus terminal within half a mile of their home our very dear friends and musicians and FAE cover girl, Priscilla Hernandez, and her partner Hector, were the victims of a daylight robbery in which all of their equipment and money was stolen.
It is at times like this when we need to come together and help those in need, in any small way we can.
So, on both sides of the faery pond, we are pulling together to help get Priscilla and Hector back onto their faery feet again, so they can buy new equipment to create even more of their beautiful music.
Here follows an extract from Priscilla’s post on my faeryspace
“…Just as soon as we stepped from the airbus airport two big guys attacked us robbed all our studio equipment and personal belongings, they poured a substance over us and they wanted the black case in which we carried all important things, so we’ve been stolen all the cash we made in faerieworlds, our laptop, our mobile studio and soundcard, our photocamera, our hardrive with our data, our videocamera, all our memories, our flat and car keys, our passports, and almost everything of value I had with me, thanks god they didn’t took my carry on so my original paintings are safe. I’m pretty sure we were spotted and they did know which case they wanted…” Priscilla Hernandez
Fairy cakes are a delicacy as delicate as the name Fairy suggests but choking to death after an “impromptu” challenge by a friend to see who could eat the most fairy cakes is the unfortunate result of Monkeying with the fairies.
Priscilla Hernandez, Spanish ethereal Gothic singer-songwriter and fantasy illustrator will premier in USA next 1st and 2nd of August in the FAERIEWORLDS FESTIVAL (Oregon, USA). Priscilla won the award as best new age album with Ancient Shadows (IMA AWARDS) and also as nominee as best new age vocalist in Los Angeles music awards.
In Faerieworlds she will be presented by the designer of movies like The Dark Crystal and Into the Labyrinth, Brian Froud, and she will count with the help of musicians from Woodland and Trillian Green on the stage. And she will open for Woodland in the Good fairy day and for the German band Qntal in the Bad fairy day. Live the legend!

The most amazing coincidence with a full moon 19th June followed with the Summer Solstice on the 20th. Famous Fairy artist Myrea Pettit has chosen this moment to show her latest image to the world. It shows an innocent child who will become ‘The Messenger,’ peering between the trees from her dark drab world. To her surprise she has her first sighting of fairies, a world of fantasy, of love and light, something to believe in, she is now able to tell others of its existence. There in front of her is one of natures endangered species the Cinnamon Humming Bird with its’ guardian Cinnamon Fairy and creatures that give soul to childhood and a belief that shines brightly, reflecting in her eyes. It is the moment of pure magic, of a true connection to the energies of Mother Earth and nature itself, and as any good fairy lover knows, full moon or a Solstice are prime times to perchance upon the faeries. The 2008 summer solstice officially is at 7:59 p.m. in the Northern Hemisphere for USA and 23:59 in UK.
The solstice is the alignment of objects out in space that potentially produces the most sunlight of any day of the year — about 15 hours between sunrise and sunset today depending on the weather in your area. It is the arrival of summer.
The June 20th/21st (the time varies slightly each year) is the start of Summer Solstice. About three days after the solstice itself June 24th is known as Midsummer’s Day which is also World Fairy Day, and St. John’s Feast Day,it is observed by Northern Europeans and Anglophones also it is a cultural, Pagan, Christian celebration that marks the Ancient middle of Summer called by others names, L?go, Litha, Ivan Kupala Day, the astronomical beginning of Summer, and the nativity of St. John the Baptist. There are great celebrations with fairy festivals, bonfires, feasting, singing, and Maypole dancing
A recent visit to a breeding project at the Kakapo Recovery Programme by long time friend of Fairies World Carri (from Dark Angel) has highlighted the plight of this rare bird to us. Myrea is currently working on a painting entitled the Dodo’s Last Ball and news of the Kakapo has prompted her to add a few more endangered species to the painting. In addition to adding the kakapo to the painting Myrea last week added a Condor and a spider monkey and four delightful endangered eagles to look like judges.
For your entertainment we have recently adding a new flash based Matching Pairs Game featuring the artwork of Myrea Pettit to the Fairies World website.
We hope you enjoy it and always would appreciate any feedback you have.
Long time friend and supporter of Fairies World, Priscilla Hernandez, now has her songs available as mp3 downloads. So here at Fairies World we have created a Priscilla Hernandez mp3 playlist for you enjoyment.
