You will know this story better than i, as i recall Branwyn was associated with "love and beauty". The tales turn and twist but i often find cross threads among the circumpolar myths. Branwyn would be with the Arthurian times and the search for the holy grail well after the floods. This is one of Pat Paquette areas of interest. Too bad she can't join us. I am always amazed at how well our memories have kept these stories alive. If we tell our children bedtime stories then one night leave out part because we are tired they are quick to correct us. If you want history to last make a nice faery story.... Joe!

Although I could be wrong. This is hopeful! :o )

Thanks for your comment, she really is glorious. When i first saw her i had just pulled out from under a canopy at a gas station. She was circling with the two black ravens right above me. It was electrifying. For a few seconds my arms and legs turned to water. Then i remembered i had a camera, i reached down for it but in those seconds she disappeared. Among all of us who have seen her only a few photos exist, and it is not for want of trying. Lynda, welcome to tseka.

And I too am feeling a sort of quiet hope now - like the first glimmerings of change are in the dawn breeze. We shall see what unfolds. We have many black ravens here in the winter. They are also magnificent birds, all fluffed up in the cold and snow. She is a beauty! And I too am feeling a sort of quiet hope now - like the first glimmerings of change are in the dawn breeze.
