The Edge of Magic

Magic lives and breathes in every one of us. No matter how mundane it may seem, we always travel on the Edge of Magic. Around every bend, beneath every surface is a truth that can set us free. I am Serena and these are pieces of my life woven in words, invoking magicks of my own making in an experimental spell. Each word, each voice, each thought, each view weaves magic through me and you. Join me in casting or simply bask in the energy. Now is a wondrous time to awaken to possibilities...

Furries like caffeine

So in the midst of the choa of many projects, two adventures and thre internal wars, I find in one of my frequent day lives I am writing more but not for the right reasons. I long to contribute more to this spell instead of some of the endeavors I delve into not entirely willingly.

All this was in my head when I met three werewolf friend in a coffe shop. As I crumbled my cookie, one said " You should write more of what you want", the second said "you should right less of what you don't" and the thrid said "How strong is your sense of self?"

As usual door number three always opens to the best thoughts. If he weren't so addicted to caffeine, i think I'd find him to be even hotter.

The week brings with it a heavy load of variety and pressures. Hopefull if My mental gymnastics are up for tumbling and sommersaulting through the onslaught, I'll get a chance to write here and work on my other personal projects.


Is life easy and people complicated or is it the other way around or both?

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Sorceress

There’s a whole lot hidden in my name and to a certain extent that can be helpful because as we all know secrets have a power that runs much deeper that most would care to admit or think about it.

However there’s a certain amount of power you have to sacrifice to open and grow meaningful connections with the others who share your realm, whichever realm that may be. When I was younger I did traverse the grades of high school while fighting several bizarre wars deep in the forests of a town between towns I named Myst before there was a video game. In that time I was more than a mistress of secrets I was musician of guarded knowledge and wisdom. I would pluck each of my mysteries personal, mystical or otherwise with graceful expertise and the silent melodies would flow in tune with words I would never sing or say and I would this every day.

Now though I crave for connection like I have always craved for closeness and my initial instinct is no longer to evade revelation to others.

Describing myself to begin is still no easy task. How do you encapsulate someone in words. The spoken word often make this easier as so many of us have gotten use to infusing our voice with meaning and feeling beyond the simple definitions of our choice of words. As an actress I am well versed in how much one can hid behind the simplest of phrases , how complex and textured they can be. To speak of someone is much easier for me than to write. Yet as a writer, I firmly believe that the written word can accomplish the task, but most likely through a very different style. Evoking a mood in text to colour your sentences and enhance your ideas with the power of the minds of your reader produces a different effect but can be used to achieve similar results. Interestingly, both techniques draw strong parallels to some of my method for aligning energies for casting of magic.

One of the most powerful witches I ever met told me that a lot of my magic is stronger through my voice, my words. Since then I have learned to wield them with increasing levels of potency. Perhaps you might find from what you’ve read here that you’re not perceiving the quality that one of my great teachers saw in me. For this I can only say that often when I’m experimental as with newborn spell, a lot of my energies and their effects are invisible to first glance. Much like my secrets, I keep them below the surface where only those who try to find them can discover what’s behind the sorceress’s curtain.

For good cause or by rare insight or a glance into my blue eyes or a combination there of: I’ve been called a Witch. I’ve been called a Vampire. I’ve been called a Fairy. I’ve been called an Angel. I’ve been called unreal. I’ve been called a dream. I don’t disagree with any of these charges, they all have truth to them. What I am actually, goes beyond that and beyond being a girl with a penchant for the mystical or a princess to a forgotten queendom and if I could explain perhaps I might but there are mysteries about myself that I have yet to solve and so when I look into my eyes, the realm of possibility open before me and I see al that I could be and all that I am both here and in the countless realities that exist.

My name is Serena, to learn more, keep reading but to know more of me you have to share of yourself as well because only then will our connection extend your perceptions to a fifth dimension giving new perspective on the words and feelings that flow from my hand to your screen.
