Jai Durga Maa

This handmade rosary is the latest edition to

Her Grace by Devata on www.etsy.com.

Durga Maa is a Hindu deity known for her courage and strength.

She rides a tiger or a lion and she assists one on the inner levels

in slaying the demons of the mind.

She is the fierce aspect of Shakty, the Divine Feminine.

I made this mala in the same pattern as the Rosary of the Holy Mother.

She is one and the same, by whatever name you call Her.

I used freshwater pearls in four different shades of white, pale pink, bronze and cream, interspaced

with swarovski crystals and

 beautiful bronze rose beads and a glass heart foil in the centre.

The pendant I bought from one of the traders outside the temple at

Haridwar, India and it is stamped with the OHM on the back.

The rosary is ideal for wearing around the neck as a necklace

as well as using as prayer beads.

The Night before the Tea of the Fey

Fey : Having or displaying an otherworldly, magical, or fairylike aspect or quality

I am

Hemlock Elfshimmer

And this is my friend

Pink Ears, the fey bunny

And this is my very bestest friend

Nettle Willowdancer

She casts weird dreams.

She lives in brambles and blackberry bushes.

She can only be seen when the bees swarm 

and the crickets chirrup.

She wears blue and green like berries 

and leaves and has delicate lilac coloured wings like a cicada.

and this is where we live in the magical woods

feyness n.

Word History: The history of the words fey and fay illustrates a rather fey coincidence. Our word fay, "fairy, elf," the descendant of Middle English faie, "a person or place possessed of magical properties," and first recorded around 1390, goes back to Old French fae, "fairy," the same word that has given us fairy. Fae in turn comes from Vulgar Latin Fta, "the goddess of fate," from Latin ftum, "fate." If fay goes back to fate, so does fey in a manner of speaking, for its Old English ancestor fge meant "fated to die." The sense we are more familiar with, "magical or fairylike in quality," seems to have arisen partly because of the resemblance in sound between fay and fey.

Today is a very exciting day ............

We are putting together a marvellous tea party for tomorrow!!  Pink Ears can hardly wait

for the guests to arrive!!

We are taking out the best china!  Of course,

our cups are ever so tiny,

but with a drop of magic - who knows

what may happen?

We have invited ever such exciting and mysterious guests ........

She is waiting on the Prince ....

who is travelling all the way from the romantic city of Paris 

then the Fey Queen of England herself promised to come ......

She will arrive in a golden coach

and have her very own special cup

Then there are still my very good friend Red Riding Hood, the mermaids
and their friends and my little witchy friend with her magic spells and potions .......

you have another few hours left before the clock strikes 12

at midnight
the fairy lights will go on
and I will be expecting you
