Rekayagabsy, 25

I work with the natural properties of plants, herbs and gemstones. I believe nature spirits used to live among us, playing with children and nourishing gardens, but as time went on, this world began to change in ways that gave them grave senses as to where it was going and they retreated into other dimensions of various woodlands through the planet, keeping themselves one frequency away as a shield from the increasingly brusque and dangerous nature of mankind. When they do come to this planet, they hide themselves in its greenery, appearing to only a select few.

For nine years, Mom and I have been co-authoring "The Tammabukku Chronicles", a soulsexual quintet that weaves what the main characters call "the sacred mundane" - the day-to-day simplicities like cooking and gardening - with their ongoing karmic war with their Inimici, rooted in their souls' tribe of origin, the Tuatha De Danann, in their battle with the Fomorians.

I am working on a poetry and story volume called "Flowers of Life - Poetry & Stories", a volume in which nature is both a theme and a setting in both the poetry and story sections.
