Elf Sight

Celestial, because this denotes the heavens, the freedom of the skies and the beyond ~

Elf, because of my affinity with the ancient Germanic and Norse origins of the term (Old Norse; álfar) describing semi-divine beings endowed with magical powers which they may use for the benefit of mankind.

 

Druid, because the Norse, along with Celtic, Slavic, Vedic, Hellenic (Greek), and others, are part of the cultural-linguistic family known as Indo-European, and using the term 'Druid' in the sense of Indo-European 'priest or intellectual' in contrast to Warrior or Farmer, this included Healers, Bards, Shaman & Seers ~

More than mere myth and legend, mankind can be elevated to the rank of Elves after death' this death is not a literal demise but rather a spiritual transformation and awakening.

 

My photographs share a few of the inspirations of nature from great to small in my daily life and adventures.

 

 

 

Among my eclectic range of influences I would include such poetry as

J.L. Stanley's Catechism For A Witch’s Child;

 

When they ask to see your gods, your book of prayers,
Show them lines drawn delicately with veins on the underside of a bird's wing,
Tell them you believe in giant sycamores mottled and stark against a winter sky,
And in nights so frozen stars crack open spilling streams of molten ice to earth,
And tell them how you drink a holy wine of honeysuckle on a warm spring day,
And of the softness of your mother who never taught you death was life's reward,
But who believed in the earth and the sun and a million, million light years of being.

 

 

I animate some of my inspirations with poem + song, see my machinima films here;
