Wise Ones

The proof is most definitely in the pudding when it comes to how these stories work!
Today I spoke to the lady I was hoping would display some of my books in her store. Angel Wings Faery Dust and Other Magical Things: A story of witches, Warlocks and Such is NOT her story. She does not originate from the Realm this story was written for. When I asked her if she enjoyed the story, her reply was, "It's not my cup of tea, but then I don't have children, so maybe I can't relate." I was overjoyed to hear this. Sounds strange? The concept works! This beautiful Cherub didn't relate to this story (she did agree to display the book...very generous)she couldn't connect to the text or to the illustrations, quite simply because this was not her story.
My youngest son (and harshest critic) does not sit still to hear this story either, however, he will sit and stare for ages at the illustrations for the second book hanging in my studio space, and ask me to read this story over and over again. This story is his story and comes from the Realm he comes from.

So which Realm is Angel Wings Faery Dust and Other Magical Things: A story of witches, Warlocks and Such originating from?

The Wise Ones; these are people who seem to know the answers to everything (even without knowing how they know) and have a heavy and earthy energy surrounding them. They are intense personalities who are frustrated when people come to them with problems and then don't listen to the solutions they give. They are "naturally" talented in many fields without knowing how they know.
These people have lived many life times on Earth. They have returned time and time again, each time living a different life, fulfilling a different role and learning the whole time. They seem to know the answers to and for everything because they DO! They have been here so many times that the knowledge they accumulate cannot possibly be contained within conscious memory, but the knowledge is there on tap if and when they need it.
It is frustrating to be a wise one some times. Being a young wise one, how do you explain to someone three times your age that you know their solution won't work and yours will? How do you shake off the feeling that you really don't know where the knowledge came from and therefore doubt its validity?
To make it a little tougher on this turn of the wheel, many wise ones in this incarnation have been pressed into service as it were. They were sitting around enjoying the fact that their work was done and that they had paid their dues, performed their service and could look forward to a rest and then...well, they were needed. The world is in crisis and flux and is in great need of wise one wisdom, healing and strength. Reluctant to return, but grudgingly willing to take up the burden again, wise ones of this incarnation may have been born with a sense of struggle. Everything may seem like it has to be a fight, a battle and a struggle to survive let alone find your true life's purpose.
There is so much more information I could give you about Wise Ones (If you haven't guessed yet...this is my Realm of origin), but this is enough to get the general idea. Please do look up Doreen Virtue Phd if your curiosity has been piqued, she is fantastic in her explanations of the Realms of origin.

So you see, the story of Witches, Warlocks and Such is my story, a story of a witch who comes to heal the world of its hurts again and again and again until she is weary of the battle and returns home to rest.

Obviously I LOVE this book best...grin! If you find you don't like it or you don't relate to it, it quite simply is not your story, you are probably not a wise one just like my Cherub proprietor and my Elemental son.

So you see, I cannot possibly be upset or offended if someone says they don't like or can't connect with my first book, because it wasn't meant for them anyway. Try one of the others, you might be surprised...
