The Circle -- artists, writers, and creative souls brought together by their shared desire to hold their creativity sacred, to do business with honesty and integrity, and to spread the magick through their work.

Each of the Circle members are artisans who have honed their craft over the years and have turned a passion into a business, while still remaining true to their style, their message, and their creativity. Those here do business in an honest and karmic manner. They take pride in crafting the finest products they can with the means they have available. They conduct their business in a manner free of subterfuge and commercial hype. When you do business with them, you can rest assured that 'what you see, is what you will get'.

Their aim, their goal, is to both embrace the magick that weaves through all life, and promote and spread that same magick through their words, their images, their craft.

Lucy Cavendish -- Many moons ago, a wee soul was born who delighted in the natural world, who knew the world was full of wonder, and that her soul was guiding her to create an enchanted adventure of her life… she believed, even while those around her told her that magick and the mystick were simply the imaginings of her childish self… She knew differently: and she knew that that one day, she would one day be dedicated to bringing to life her love of nature, and of the Goddess and of magicks…she would share them with others, so they too could experience the wonder of believing in what lies within and beyond the sight of those who have been trained to deny their magickal selves… To visit Lucy's websites please click on the links --o0> Lucy Cavendish ...

Beth Hansen-Buth -- Nothing inspires me more than time spent in nature. Feeling the wind in my hair and listening to the leaves rustling in the trees makes me long for my walking stick, and off I go on another journey of wonder and delight. There, I commune with the spirits of nature, great and small. When I get back to my studio, the themes that present themselves in my work are those of transformation and ethereal boundaries. Otherworldly characters such as faeries, mermaids, fauns, gods, goddesses and dryads cross over into our world, opening up new possibilities of thought and influence. I find additional insights from my studies of mythology and faery lore, and they find their way into my paintings enriching each with story.--o0> Wyrdhaven

She has a degree in mechanical engineering with emphasis on aerospace, and is thinking about learning how to knit socks. Her major accomplishment is tying her shoes, but aside from this, she also has a flourishing business in fantasy art that hosts work from more than 100 other artists, creatively named Ellen Million Graphics.

Nicole Cadet -- I am a freelance artist who specialises in fantasy, historical, fairy and mythical art. By day I work as a senior software developer and systems analyst, by every spare moment I paint and draw! My passion for the arts began with my early love affairs with books, dance, piano, and singing. Having spent the better part of a decade at university, I now have degrees in Education (Secondary Art & English) and Information Technology (Information Systems). I spent two years at Queensland College of Art as part of my education degree, and discovered that I really didn't enjoy art college. Despite my aversion to art college, a few years later I decided to return to my artistic roots and rediscovered my love of fantasy, mythology and history. --o0> NicoleCadet.com



Kel Flowers -- I am a Tasmanian Artist and Bookbinder, with a deep-seated love for all things weird and wonderful. The act of creation is a magical one, and something I fill my days with in its many forms.... a way of expressing myself, of externalising the way I see things in my mind. Stories are much more than just words, they are clues and signposts.... and painting the stories connects me to them. My other love is bookbinding. And although it's a somewhat "lost art", it is making a comeback... and I am incredibly thankful to be one of the people bringing the art back into the light. There is something very special about creating something into which someone will spill their thoughts, dreams, hopes and losses. That, for me, will never loose it's magic. --oO> Edgewood Dreaming



Annie Rodrigue -- Annie Rodrigue is both a painter of fantasy and an animator at heart. Ever since she was ten, she knew that animation and illustration would play an important part in her life. She is fascinated by children’s book illustration and loves to read and create short whimsical stories. She hopes to become a teller of tales through images and animated short films.A 2002 college graduate in classical animation from the Cégep du Vieux Montréal, Annie worked as a freelance illustrator and animator part-time for 4 years. But for the past year (starting in November 2006), she decided to take her craft even more seriously by working full-time home or in studios. She spends the day creating and working with the help of her two adorable kitties. It is this artist’s wish that she can touch others with her whimsical work. It is with a lot of pride and joy that she shares her imaginative world to people of all ages either through the web, exhibitions or conventions. --oO> Moonlight Whispers
