I am here for Friends

About Me

Okay- time for an update here!I'm a pagan priestess with a deep connection to the world of the Sidhe,(gaelic-pronounced Shee), or faeries, and the old Gods and Goddesses of the land and stars. I believe there is light and dark in all things, and that harmony lies in balance, not denial of one or the other.
Although I am trained and used to work as a professional actress, I gave it up to look after my little girl, Willow, now 6! I am reforging a career for myself as an artist, illustrator and author. My art is from the otherworld and the realm of spirit and inspiration- the only reference is the pictures that appear in my head. Naturally they tend towards the surreal!
I am the creator of three Tarot decks; the Tarot of the Sidhe,(Currently available as a majors only collector's deck, but soon to be available from Schiffer Books as a book and deck set of 78 cards), the Transparent Tarot (Schiffer Books 2008, and Tarot of the Black Mountain, (a Majors Only deck published in Montenegro.)
I have recently finished working on illustrations for a book by Marion Pearce on Norse Mythology. I am currently working on the Transparent Oracle for Schiffer Books, and I also have a children's book in the works...
You can see my work on my website- www.childofavalon.com.
I'm also a singer in a band called Crocodile Thong. We're a rock band doing covers of VERY cool songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Oh, yes, and I wrote the lyrics to an Arthurian Rock opera, called Enchanted! See http://www.enchantedthe musical.co.uk
Also I practice Celtic shamanism, and my wonderful fiancee runs a magical course called Merlin's Wisdom.(www.merlinswisdom.co.uk) If you want to know more, get in touch!Big love and Blessings,Em x
