    “Dreams are like the old stories where wolves are seekers always running, and women carry fire in their bare hands and light the dark paths before them.
    Old stories hold that the birds will fly all the miles of the world to tell your secrets to the rising moon, and men will walk over oceans of ice to find one truth.”
    Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides

    “We are all of life
    who stepped from the sea
    trading weightless journeys of the currents
    We are all of life
    who build and tear down and build again
    to find gold and silver
    to find scars that weep and bleed
    to step from the sea
    to stay with the sea”
    Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides

    “The storms inside uncoil
    into sky held calm by far seeing eyes
    Memories dressed in the translucent
    trickery of the mind,
    so as to wear life upon themselves,
    give up their tired dance and run
    into free frequency”

    “WINTER'S GHOST:
    Autumn moon
    incautious in the dark river
    Winter’s ghost walks
    with a covered face
    and silver bones wait in all animals
    to be bone cloth upon her shoulder
    wait for her happiness in that they are silver”

    “Strange to feel in flesh
    weaker than the skin of water
    hung over the long bones of the shoreline
    To feel as though drowning,
    still breathing, moving
    into logical tides and daybreaks”
    Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides

    “Sea Hags*
    Sea Hags are curious creatures, particularly as they have no need for us.
    “Who needs a husband?” they ask in chiming voices.
    “Who needs a mother? When we have Poseidon as mate and the great Ocean herself to hold us.”
    Cascades of laughter behind the sparkling scales of their hands in a manner to call to question both their good sense and their sincerity.
    Sea Hags – one could study them for fifty years and find no answer.
    (*Shamelessly inspired by Kafka’s Sirens: another creature entirely.)”

    “You were the ocean
    and we were the land
    You lay down unflinching
    You lay down forgetting
    And you were the ocean
    and we were the land”

    “Beneath the gentle gaze
    of a god turned in stone
    holding the dreaming wish

    “The forest rose like a dream
    from the mind of Chaos’s lonely daughter
    and the sun fell heavy and thick
    to warm the blood of a world
    not quite ready to live
    but so tired of its own imagination”
    Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides

    Tamara Rendell
    “Drink in the heat of an ancient sun
    held in the cold fire of water rising
    from earth and rock
    Spilling over your cupped hands
    and drawn to lips and tongue
    Pouring water’s memory
    of the azure mist it fell from
    into the chalice of your flesh
    Turning your eyes skywards
    with desire
    for the freedom it was born of”
    Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides

    “River with no border
    the forgetful hand of man

    Gather harvest from the fallow land

    Take all memory from it
    to speak of lonely travellers
    who hopelessly took orders

    From armies lined within them
    marching over fields and valleys

    As though they were a river
    not a woman nor a man
    not a place for which to answer
    but a cold and shapeless
    journey from the sea”
    Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides

    “THE STAGE:
    The stage is empty, and you watch as the figure of Medusa steps into the gas-light. Her body is dressed in a crimson traversed by the golden branches of willow trees, colour and light held into shape by sharp black borders. Lifting languidly her hands, she reaches towards you. Her emerald vipers, in the cohesive movements of unseen mechanisms, weave loops about her head. Music is beginning, and from the shadows off-stage the narrator speaks. “Medusa had a beautiful name and a lovely voice, though no one cared to listen; seeking only the gaze of those famous eyes.”
    Perseus walks onto the stage, cloaked as though he were the blazing sun. Now what you have to understand is his voice – it is like nothing you could tie down. It feels peaceful to hear it, to see him flow into the song with his fine, clear looks and his finer, clearer voice. Is the head quite forgotten? Not quite but the horror exists alongside the beauty and they flow like twin rivers, and neither is able to wash the other from you.”

    “Understand that the Cosmos
    is not an alien wave of planets
    that have no personal connection with you
    Look at the stars
    Feel them vibrating through your whole body
    They are your friends
    and are part of your Greater Self

    The sky you are looking at is very alive
    The stars are not just shining at you
    They are beckoning unto you
    to be one with them
    They are beaming their message
    for humanity to join
    the Universal balance”
    Natasha Rendell, Nathon's Keys to Freedom

    “You are more than likely thinking by now that all of this sounds somewhat fanciful, perhaps over the top, all too complicated and even perhaps at times chaotic. It may seem so at first glance, but life here is a complex and intriguing happening, with never a dull moment to be had. And why should it not be so? “Death” as you have named it, is not the end of life. It is to us a birth back here once again to our side, to our true home. So it is a rebirth in a sense.”
    Natasha Rendell, Arthur’s Cosmic Heaven

    “Sentinels of trees
    breathe life into bodies of earthly flesh
    As their mighty arms reach to the stars
    we join in their quest for Helios’s mighty power
    Like sentinels, we seek our place
    in the forest of nature’s gentle breath”

    “If there is but one pearl of wisdom I have to impart to you, after all my observations here thus far, it is do not take yourself too seriously. Because when you get here, you might just find that you are not exactly who or what you thought you were.”
    Natasha Rendell, Arthur’s Cosmic Heaven

    “I am that I am

    In Love I trust
    In Wisdom I am revealed”

    “Phoenix Speaks:
    Within this urn of stillness
    I slumber in deep sleep

    Awaiting brave Helios
    to warm my gentle ashes

    Igniting the flame within my soul
    once again I fly to the heavens”

    “Merlin Speaks:
    Ô mighty trees of Avalon
    release sap and seeds
    into hearts and minds

    So Arthur’s dream
    can reveal echoes
    of futures past

    So Camelot’s glory
    is forever ingrained
    in the rich forests
    and mountains’ mysterious valleys
    where a once and future King
    lowered his sword
    and lay in the arms
    of his sweet Lady of Forests and Lakes”

    revealing your destiny deep in
    the seed of your God Self”

    “Wolf Speaks:
    I wander mountains high
    and river pathways
    I seek cover in deep forests
    from hunters’ cruel knives
    Yet my cousins warm your
    hearts with love and loyalty
    Love me also even though
    you do not command my freedom path”
    Ramon Ravenswood, Icons Speak

    Ramon William Ravenswood
    “Every second, every minute, every hour
    our bodies breathe in the manna of Heaven.
    Our bodies resonate with the love and power
    of creative cosmic rhythms
    dancing through every cell in our beautiful beingness.
    Heaven is the heart of our atomic structure.
    Only with realisation of God manna within
    can the external cosmic energy fuse
    and ignite eternal bliss.
    Manna from Heaven.”
    Ramon Ravenswood, Twilight Zone Encounters

    “Easter blessings
    All life’s sacrifices like autumn leaves
    awaken our senses
    and power to love and be whole
    Our Mother Earth, Our Father Sky
    embraces our happiness and laughter
    Praise be to freedom and life’s seasons
    Praise be to Christ’s freedom song”
    Ramon Ravenswood, Twilight Zone Encounters

    “Body of Earth, body of woman
    call unto the stars
    Carry –
    as the river which carries the touch of the forest
    – carry Earth unto sky
    Enliven within my body of woman
    union with Earth, union with sky
    I am daughter of stars
    a clear river of light
    My soul, it is flowing
    unto body of woman,
    body of Earth woven with light”
    Tamara Rendell, Realm of the Witch Queen

    Tamara Rendell
    “Past homes that lie sleeping in streets
    beneath the scent of flowers and of salt
    a journey set down in complicated paths
    until the stones run clear into the ocean
    the rising light reaching down
    into the depths of that water
    then reflecting and resting
    on this small world, full of beauty
    on you, full of beauty”
    Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides

    “SOUVENIR:
    I am there swimming with sharks
    in a black and white photo of Italy
    the sun is free from clouds
    and I am smiling”
