Faerie Bard; Welsh-Australian eco-pagan ailurophile, supporting democratic resistance. I pay my respects to the first Elders & Custodians of Bendigo, the Dja Dja Wurrung. Work includes ethereal music on indie labels, reading, writing, editing & caregiving.
Herein my own photo & caption. If you know these dear men, please respect their anonymity: don't name them or their location. A friend photographed me running toward them in the foreground. Sharing with permission, in a spirit of hope for humanity. #Peace #InterculturalHarmony #Democracy

Two of our rescued indoor cats are lounging on ledges. On the other side of this wall, two others are sleeping aloft in balconies atop bookcases. Welcome to the den of fairy lions! Their only outdoor spaces are enclosed playgrounds. #Cats #Catledges #CatPics #IndoorCats #MultipleCatHouseholds

Displaying the 6 panels of my Elderbrook digipak, at my website & Bandcamp. Includes a lush illustrated booklet of lyrics in eco-friendly veggie inks from 2017; they've held up well so far. Completed the books more recently. #indiemusic #ethereal #fey #fantasychronicles #soundtrack #witchsky #moss

My opinions are my own, like this pic & my songs & tales of Escalder. As a freelancing faery, swinging heathen chimes, I respect that folks won't share every view I express. Your politics, faiths and ethnicities are diverse. Here's to the elf in selfhood. #Faery #Faerie #Fairy #Fey #Fae #Fantasy

Hey Bluesky Music, introducing my beloved mandolin (circa 2023), which I play like a punk pixie. It was one of my mando tunes that inspired Brian Froud to call me 'the love child of Enya and Robert Plant'. May Fey mischief abide.

Proud of my long involvement with the Australian Fairy Tale Society. An intercultural, interdisciplinary, intergenerational non-profit organisation that embraces diversity in every sense. Fairytales are not escapism. They can be profoundly political and wise. #Fairytales #fairies #Faery #Fey #faerie

Proud of my long mutual involvement with the Australian Fairy Tale Society. A genuinely intercultural, interdisciplinary, intergenerational non-profit organisation that embraces diversity in every sense. Fairytales are not escapism. They can be profoundly political (often allegorically) and wise.

I read this novel twice over the decades and am keen to do so again. However, my next reading will probably be of a newer edition that hubby bought, pictured here now.

The marsupial in the trees outside is, I think, a ringtail possum. Hence we keep our cats inside. They like it when hubby is reading. I might have added a unicorn. #CatPics #GreenSky #EcologyandConservation #BookSky #AustralianMarsupials

Good point! It is absolutely relevant. It was playing in the back of my memory, when I designed my pic 'promises protection but excels in extortion' in response to recent bullying. The blackmail certainly needs to be at the forefront of media analysis: "I'd like you to do me a favour though!"
