There was once a girl, who slept on a heap of leaves, in a garden filled with curious enchantments...
One evening, a particularly haunting moon loomed over the little secret garden...
The girl thought that for certain, such a moon, was sure to bring voyages through dreamscapes. So, she cozied up, upon her heap of leaves, and drifted off to sleep...
Not soon thereafter, she felt a little flurry of butterfly kisses on her brow and nose. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself not in her secret garden, but in a dark vast landscape that was covered with unusual trees...
And in the distance, a golden light glimmered through the trees...
What could it be she thought, as she peeked through shrubs in the darkness...
Such beautiful lights glimmered and glowed, and entranced her inquisitive spirit...
It looked like a wagon with canopying trees hovering above it. Could it be?
She crept closer, unaware of what she might find. She searched for a sign of people...
She was certain she could hear music playing. The sound of a record turning, and song seeping through the darkness, called her name...
What was this place, she asked herself? Then, she caught a glimpse of a sign...
How intriguing...
Oh my! The sign read "Spells, Herbs, Miracles & Magic..."
She thought that perhaps she should run away as fast as she could. But it was too late...
She had been drawn in by...
Magic itself.
An old woman, came out from what seemed like nowhere. She said, I know just what you need my pretty...
You need...
Love.
Quickly the girl replied, "Oh no, I don't need lo--..."
But before the girl could finish her sentence, the old woman had taken a wooden bowl, and thrown in a dash of this and a pinch of that into it.
And just like that, a dashing man walked towards the girl, bathed in the glow of the moonlight . He took her by the hand, and twirled her in dance, without uttering a word.
They danced for hours and hours, and just when the girl thought she could dance no more the charming fellow vanished. As did the old woman.
The girl was confused and tired. She decided to find a cozy place to rest her head, just until morning. As she was certain this was just a dream.
The next day, as the sun slowly emerged over the mountains, the girl opened her eyes. It was then, that she realized...
She had not been dreaming at all.
She stepped out of the little bed she had slept in, and felt strange. Quite strange indeed. Perhaps, even more than strange...
She felt a bit warm, and thirsty. Her ear itched tremendously. Standing was quite strange also. She tried to rub her eyes but she couldn't. She felt as though, she had been transformed into another creature...
It was then, that she caught a glimpse of herself in a glass frame.
She was stunned beyond words. She tried to speak, but she couldn't...
She had been turned into...
A dog.
A furry friend.
What ever would she do? She ran outside, and searched for someone. How could she even ask for help?
She stood outside, still shocked when...
I rode up on my bike. I was looking for some herbs for a love spell of my own. This blonde pooch came up to me, wagging her tail, running all around.
What a curious pup I thought. And went about my business...
Hmmm, what did this witch's apothecary shoppe have for me today??
A giant bowl of herbs straight from its own garden! Just what I needed...
I put my giant wooden bowl of goods in my bike's basket and rode off...
As I was working on my own edible delights that would be infused with love and magic, I couldn't help but think...
That furry pooch at the herb stand, sure did have a human aura about her.
So you see, if you happen upon said wagon. Beware. You just might find your self tailed or even winged ;)
Have you ever met an animal, that you are certain could understand you? That you feel has something about him or her, that is just a little unusual...
Who knows? The creature may have had an encounter of its own with...
If you have a furry or winged or even a reptilian friend with a personality that exudes, do tell. What would their human form and character be like, if they could be anyone?
My friend has a dog named Max. I am quite certain that Max was a snobby, super fab food critic, once upon an enchanted moon... ;)
~ As you can tell, I am still playing with my potion labels (big time). I had the most wondrous magical evening last night. Too bad you weren't there to twirl under the moonlight with me. It was beyond words lovely and breezy and enchanting...
But wait, I made you a silly rotten little video, so you could get a feel for the night spells. Nevermind my deadly backwards steps at the end.
I think I need a little more video practice. It's the thought that counts, as they say ;) The music was a record playing on my record player, and it wasn't playing loud. Wild how you can hear it so vividly... (Barber Violin Concerto, second movement - Louis Kaufman )
See you soooon! And, super duper thanks for being so much fun!
♥, V
ps: I hope you know that this is just a bunch of nonsense going on in my front yard. I am not really casting spells and such. ;)
pss: Lots of Halloween treats in my shoppe...
psss: A bit of Mad Tea Party 2008 Love. I love those memories!
