You draw me into this genre, into the world of myth and magic, but I have always believed in the unknown, unexplained and the things we cannot see but feel, your stories are very real to me because I also believe that amongst us there are vampires and so much more that cannot be explained.
2260Hamilton you have familiar traits of your character Leo but deep down I think you are more like Liam.
2260Hamilton you are very talented author, and I am so fortunate to be able to read your stories and know you.❤️❤️
You found me out, I identify more with Liam, I was always looking for the knight in shining armor to save me. You will find that I have a tendency to write heroes that have a strong sense of protectiveness and moral clarity, but you will find my soul in those who are searching for love and belonging in the arms of another.
Loved your article about your writing journey. My journey was accidental when my friends forced me to participate in a poetry competition!!! Though there are times when I don't write, I love the journey and the pain and bumps along the way.
I believe there are no accidents, the magic draws us to what we are supposed to do. I'm glad that you have found the magic inside of you and have decided to share it with the world!
I have one deck I use constantly - I have always said to my clients that the Tarot is 78 living breathing forces - the minor arcana - those everyday forces that speak to our lives in routine. The major arcana - those tidal forces that rush over us at different itmes in our lives, sometimes as storms, sometimes as strong warm breezes. These forces have personality and intellect and throwing the cards is just the way to connect to them. But it takes time for that bridge to be built and the more you use the deck - the stronger the connection. I call it warming the cards. So my deck is pretty beat up - but it never fails to make a connection for anyone I read for.
I have always allowed my characters to write my stories. I'm just a means to an end.
I am also a tarot reader. My deck has passed through previous generations. It has served me well and my daughter has asked for it many times. I may give it to her soon, as I find I'm rarely using them now.
I think the magic is within all of us: or so the Jester says...
I have gone though many decks in my life - different artistic interpretations of the minor and major arcana, but I always find myself coming back to the standard Rider Waite deck - it seems to be the deck my intuition resonates with most easily. And yes I agree - the magic lives in all of us and it is our task in life to discover it!
This is so well-written. It's fascinating to read about what drew you to magic and myths from a young age.
Myself, I always saw something magical in this world. Since I was little, I had a vivid imagination, and I liked to imagine things beyond the mundane. There are so many interesting concepts that can be observed and conjured, contributing to the unending nature of my fascination, and I don't see it ending soon.
That's really interesting! Personally, I've never had any experience with magic or tarot, but the mother of one of my friends has. What she told me about it sounded all really fascinating, even to me who has a hard time believing in paranormal stuff!
I really envy pantsers haha. Sometimes I wish I could go on without my detailed outlines :'D
For me the magic has always been in the air around me, from the stories told to me as a child to the small rituals I learned to stave off back luck and bring good fortune. So it was oonly a matter of time before the magic found its way into my life and my writing.
As for being a pantser - someimes it is great and sometimes not so much - there are times I get stuck and I spend a lot of time talking to my characters to determine how to get out of the boxes I wrote myself into. Believe me - those conversations are not fun, especially when you have a Werewolf telling you - “See I told you - you should have let me bite him in chapter 3!”

The way you tell your story really intrigues me! I love that your characters write the story, as that's often how I like to write as well.

My deck is an old Rider Waite. I wi miss it when it finds it new home with my daughter.

When you glimpse the vision beyond the veil and see the magic waiting there, the possibilities that open to you are infinite!
