Hecate

At the gate of dusk I stand,
Hecate, on the other hand,
Guard me with your magic power.
Guide me through the crossroads hour,
From the glory of the light,
To the beauty of the night.

Steampunk Venus

“Steampunk is...a joyous fantasy of the past, allowing us to revel in a nostalgia for what never was. It is a literary playground for adventure, spectacle, drama, escapism and exploration. But most of all it is fun!”

Come live with me, and be my love

Come live with me, and be my love,
And we will some new pleasures prove
Of golden sands, and crystal brooks,
With silken lines, and silver hooks

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

We're all mad here

Vanessa is hosting again our Mad Tea Party and it is going to be fun! Why don't you join us for a cup of tea. Maybe you might meet Alice and The Mad Hatter! Just imagine all the incredible things you can talk about with them.

I love Alice in Wonderland. It was the first book I got. I was six and I still have it. It is one of my  treasures.

In case, you want to visit Vanessa and join us, here is the link:

“It is a self-deception of philosophers and moralists to imagine that they escape decadence by opposing it. That is beyond their will; and, however little they acknowledge it, one later discovers that they were among the most powerful promoters of decadence.”
