Okay, it's a date - you, me, a beautiful glade and some silly costumes. Hmm, I think I have a mask somewhere, too :)Inner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749644478681930620.post-8745996373761896652013-05-07T07:00:40.050+01:002013-05-07T07:00:40.050+01:00I've had it for ages, too, and started it seve...I've had it for ages, too, and started it several times, but obviously the time was never right. This time I devoured it, and suddenly I begin to have an understanding of why all these people want to dress up. For the longest time I just thought they were kooky, marginalized people who had found a peer group (which in many ways I guess they actually are), or just attention-seeking...but now I see that to put on a costume is to allow oneself to step that much further beyond oneself, in order to experience these feelings more fully. If I can be moved by a beech glade wearing my usual walking gear and carrying a clanking backpack, how much more could I immerse myself in that emotion if I dressed up as a dryad and wore a mask to take myself even further out of myself, and sat amongst those trees - or even danced with them? I begin to see it now.<br /><br />Though of course the big faery conventions are probably mostly a bit of fun, where you can dress up and buy sparkly stuff and eat loads of yummy food. And that has its place, too!

Like you, I'm not sure I'd be up for joining in with crowds dressing up, but the chapters with exercises sound really useful and fun. And something one or two people could do on their own, somewhere out in the countryside... ;)Inner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.com
