An unfeasible image:
a tree rooted in a crescent moon,
the branches hold tiny stars
a cosmos within itself.

Modern fantasy stories of a race existed long before Mankind walked the earth.
European Lore refers to the race as one
lived with one foot in the realm of Fairy
one foot in the “mundane” world.
The Old Religion based on the forces of nature
describes these stories with images of sacred trees
so large
the very branches themselves
reached into the stars.

The Old stories remind us
of the Truth hidden in fiction;
children’s stories that hold the lessons of life
are only truly realized when we reach adulthood.
The impressions of virtue
to the pure of heart
and to those new to life captured
in tales of elves and fairies
struggling to bring peace to a troubled world.
The Fairy Tale may at times be more true to the heart
than the most mundane experience
because it hearkens to a time when we could see with our hearts
without the jaded perspective of a crushed hope.

Merlin’s Elvin Moon Amulet:
A Moon Talisman,
from it a tree with seven stars in the branches
and roots in the cradle of a crescent.

To capture the feel of the Old Stories,
I developed the image of the Elvin Moon:
A tree with seven stars in the branches
and the roots resting in the cradle of a crescent moon.
This subtle image of the old perspective
is highlighted with a detailed root system
and matching branches.

The Elvin Moon Amulet
is intended to recall the days when Truth was apparent,
when Virtue was something to strive for
and when integrity was accepted
as the foundation of one’s life.

Merlin’s Leaf Chain Earrings

In spring,
the trees wake from the winter’s slumber
and over time
(in some places in hours!)
the put out shoots which develop into leaves.
Amazing things: leaves.
They capture sunlight
and use the solar energy to create food for the tree.
Transfer the air into usable material.
Some trees turn their leaves down when they sense rain approaching.
All through the summer,
leaves provide shelter for the animals
who inhabit the trees.

In English,
we sue the term “leaf”
to describes the pages of a book
and then again use the metaphor:
“turn over a new leaf”
in reference to “starting again, fresh and new”.
We eat them,
wear them,
use them in all kinds of ways,
both the actual leaves and the ones we mimic.

One of my favorite pass times
is to watch the trees move in the wind,
to feel the air move
and hear the sound of leaves stirring in the branches,
creating ever changing patterns.
The leaf stirs the imagination.

Leaf Chain Earrings

Leaf Chain Earrings

In celebration of the Leaf,
I have created the Leaf Chain.
The earrings are three different leaves,
descending;
connected by soldered jump rings for security,
framing the face with a very organic look.
Because they are of a chain,
they move as you do.

Each earring is 1 1/2” long
with a Shepard’s hook earring finding.
Perfect for those who love trees,
leaves and Nature.

Fire is considered “Transformitive”:
under the right conditions,
it transforms wood to heat and light,
bringing an otherwise cold room to comfort.

Fire can cook food,
disinfect a tool,
melt metal so it may be re-shaped to a purpose.
When out of control
it can alter a landscape,
take lives and leave a wasteland.
As a symbol,
fire represents a quality of Transformation,
changing one thing to another
including altering one’s very thought processes.
It is no wonder the Ancients used Fire and a symbol
of primordial change.

Small tongues of flame leaping up to the ear

bracelet or fire creatures.
