Your beautiful and magical post is enthralling.

Trapped in a mirror you say?
Divine the purpose,
What do you need to see,
See it and be free....

Anna @ Frosted Petunias said...

Maybe I won't release you from that mirror but join you instead in your magical world! Kiki your words and pictures never fail to give me goosebumps. Such enchantment and absolutely wondrous magic! You are amazing. I'm so glad magic intervened and brought you back to us. Thank you for sharing your gift and for being a part of our spellbinding event.

Hugs,
Anna

Sparkster said...

Kiki,

I came over here to check out the Autumn Equinox Exchanges I hadn't yet, and I see you're also doing the Practical Magic Blog Party. It seems like loads of us are! This post was so enchanting. Like Anna, your words gave me goosebumps too.

So let's see what sorta release my little mind can come up with.

~Backwards is the face I see..
From beyond looking back at me..
A heart that is sacred on love's wings you soar..
Be set free from binding and come back to the party I implore..~


faith, trust, and faerie dust!

jacqueline said...

Dearest kiki, this is such a magic and beautiful post! I really enjoy each and every word along with those gorgeous photos!! Sending you lots of love and may it release you from that mirror! Have lovely merry happy weekend! Love to you!

Such a Wondrous Place this Faery Space said...

I have been in the land of joy, creativity and exhaustion of late my friend. I must tell you that I have missed coming here and your others the most. It is calming, invigorating like laughter over coffee and I will intend my "spell" right now that this is the place that is just plain and simple... a requisite. You are a requisite. I appreciate your posts and your outlook so much. I am off for another busy few days, but know you kick started something faerytale in me again this morning and it is real and the very very best sort of practical magic dear Victoria. Thank-you. Blessings.

Trapped in a mirror, reflections of life, release comes from within, where there is good there is light.

Look in your heart and all of you that is good will release you from your bond!

Oh Victoria, I KNEW you would have the most enchanting post. Such romantic and ethereal photos. You look so lovely, but it appears that you need to be released:

Mirror that binds

Release from thy grasp
Like the raven
To be forever free

Hope that wasn't too corny.

Have a wonderful evening and thank you for your visits as well; when I see your name, it makes me happy :-)
