Well I have finally gotten my new business off the ground, called Flowering Design. We specialize in quality web development from content management system, design, programming, marketing, photography and more. If you are in need a website and mention Lavendise, I will give a discount.

In communicating with the fae, the realization of how much has been forgotten begins to be revealed, yet it is still hiding in the hidden nooks of secret places. One of the ways we can discover more is by looking into the origins and roots of things. To explore ancestory and find out why things are the way they are, why we are the way we are. The last item I have included in this newsletter are links to pictures of the clothing of many European places. Our ancestors used to dress in beautiful embroidered clothing, until the people were run over and told they couldn’t wear those clothes, speak the languages and play the music. All of us have been diminished that it is hard to see the beauty of the world, yet it is there and the world is far more beautiful than you dare imagine. We should be dressed in the beauty of ancestral clothes than confined to these plain clothes from Walmart or other places that machine enslaved to make these clothes that don’t even fit us, insult our beautiful spirits. If we could attempt to make our own clothes again that are measured to our bodies, magic would spring up.

After years of long neglect it was finally time to update the site. Quite a lot technology had changed as had I and so I have been able to convert 90% of the old site into Wordpress so that I can manage it and update it on a more regular basis. There is now a social networking aspect built into the system as well. There are two areas that I have yet to convert over, the riddles and the faery lands. In time I will write plugins to support these features again.

So in closing I hope that you all have a happy holidays with your family and friends.

Blessings
Chris Kringle

We believe that the revitalizing, healing and transforming spirit of faerie is alive and moving actively in our lives: faerie inspires and provokes, heals and reveals, illuminates and transcends. At Faerieworlds, we invite you to enter the Realm as your magical self and release the beautiful, magical faerie spirit that’s inside you!

Array yourself in your best faerie finery! Join us and find new friends and discover wonderful enchantments of art, music and dance. Surrender to the glamour of faerie and let your heart and spirit soar in the woodland and under the stars!

In the words of internationally acclaimed faerie artist, Brian Froud:

“To dress as a faerie, donning wings, is to actively join in the dance, to be connected to creative spirit. Graceful or ecstatic dance; the radiant, rhythmic heartbeat; friendship; music; all these move easily across the boundaries, transcending language, race, and time. Such activities extend a joyful hand across the threshold. At Faerieworlds, we ring the bells of faerie invitation. The people come. More importantly, the faeries come too.”

Come and answer the call!

Let the magic of Faerieworlds sweep you away!

WELCOME TO LAVENDISE

Welcome to Lavendise, a place for anyone to come and remind them of who they are and the magic that lies dormant within them. I will be your guide who is known as Chris Kringle. Lavendise is a center for networking fae all over the world and a place for self discovery. As time moves on I hope that other vales will spring up. Thus creating a networked community of fae. Since there is so much to see you can can travel through four different areas of Lavendise. The first area is a guided tour, you can explore here learn about the fae and Lavendise. From here you can travel through The Gateway and play with the fae. Then travel onward to The Sanctuary where many fae live and interact with each other. Great feasts and events lie within. If you are feeling like you want to know more, you can visit the The Grove which hold the great libraries of knowledge and the Council of the Fae.
