The Silver Bough Mythic Network's Interests
General
The myths of our ancestors... The magic of place... The mysteries of the silver branch...
Music
Anything 'mythic' or inspired by myth, particularly acoustic, folk, folk-rock and world...
Books
Well, we have an extensive library here,
far too many(!) to list, but start with 'The Mabinogion' (new translation by Sioned Davies)
and work through the surviving fragments of British legends from there!
Fiction-wise anything by Charles De Lint is always good!
THE SILVER BOUGH MYTHIC EVENT WAS HELD IN MAY 2008
(for full details see below!)
AND WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
It has been decided due to time constraints that we will not be running another mythic event just yet, but willkeep this myspace site open as a mythic network. We will also use it to keep you all posted of any similar events, particularly concerts & art exhibitions.
So do use it as a network of mythically-minded folks and stay in touch!
Many thanks for all your support so far!
'THE SILVER BOUGH'
is a very special, celebratory event honouring the inspirational power of myth and the many forms that inspiration can take, particularly bringing together the realms of sacred art and 'mythic' music.
The Event takes place on May 10th 2008 6.00-11.00pm in Magical Cornwall
and is to be an exclusive evening concert and illuminated art exhibition, predominantly inspired by the myths, legends and stories of the British and other Celtic lands.
The evening features:
A Full ‘Dragonfly Moon’ Concert with Scott Jasper & Susan Garlick OFFICIALLY LAUNCHING TWO EXCITING NEW 'MYTHIC' MUSICAL PROJECTS!
Scott and Susan will be together performing songs
from their acclaimed album 'FULL CIRCLE: Songs of Change & Inspiration'
as well as Scott's new, long awaited solo project 'CLEARWATER' (which will be available at the event),
a new 'MYTHIC' album entitled 'RIGANTONA'S DAUGHTERS'
AND a further new musical project to be unveiled for the first time during this event... Evocative new songs inspired by the timeless power of Celtic myth, legend and landscape!
Susan will also be offering a simple silver branch ceremony as part of the evening...
PLUS
An enchanting art exhibition by inspirational and well-loved artist Tiana.
Best known for her beautiful Goddess images,
she will be presenting a wonderful blend of new and old work
including full size original canvasses, smaller prints and statues, all illuminated throughout the concert...

The exciting launch of the limited edition ‘Crow Oracle’ by the very talented Hannah of Willow Jewellery,
along with an exhibition of unique silver jewellery inspired by the totem animals of Britain. NEW! Hannah will also now be exhibiting some of her lovely drawings & paintings for the first time, and cards will be available...
Taster 'Crow Oracle' readings will be available during the early part of the evening before the concert begins,
as well as a group presentation by Hannah's partner, Phillip Holmes,
who will also be exhibiting his original hand made wooden bowls & artefacts, all made from native British woods.

FOR FULL DETAILS PLEASE SEE:
This 'myspace' site is designed and maintained by Susan of 'Dragonfly Moon' to help promote and raise awareness of this new mythic event on behalf of:
Susan Garlick, Scott Jasper, Tiana, Willow Jewellery, Philip Holmes & Neil Burridge.
HOWEVER, we'd also love this page to become a real network of like-minded and creative individuals who are exploring or who wish to explore the power of myth and story in all its guises... particularly those of the 'mythic arts'.
Please note that I am running this site in addition to co-running 'Dragonfly Moon', recording a new album AND studying part-time for an MA in Celtic Studies(!),
so apologies if I don't reply to you straight away!!

Anyone interested in the mythic arts
and the inspirational power of myth & story generally,
including fellow musicians, writers, artists & seekers...

It funny enough came back the moon. dragonfly moon i guess i am. thought that was funny. looking forward to coming back and reading you whole page after i have some rest. love and light. j
You might have been wondering why I have not been by lately and that is because I have been busy doing videos and creating art. I have some exciting news to share and it is a project I have worked on for months. The piece of art you see here is special and it has a secret that it wants to share. It is tired of being locked way and now it is time. If you happen to have a pair of 3D glasses stashed away go and get them because this piece of art and the 60 new pieces added to my site today is viewable in 3D. That’s not all my website at TwilightsAura Visionary Creations is even in 3D including my myspace page. So if you get bored this week come check I out, I will be looking forward to seeing you there!
Thanks for your patience and understanding. Have a great night! XO~
