Stepping back into the circle and asking you to tell me YOUR story
It has been a little while since I last wrote to you in a more personal approach. I needed some rest as I am struggling with autistic burnout. I needed to retreat like slipping into the mists of the forest. Sometimes silence is needed so new things can grow. Slowly I come back, carrying a handful of threads to weave with you once more.
For those who are new here (or have forgotten while I was away), my name is Blossom. I walk the path of a writer, a House Healer, a Faery Witch, an artist, and a Tarot reader. My roots are pagan and animist, always entangled with faery lore, myth, magic; and yes, the shadows that live between.
Under the name Tales Unfold, I share my healing and faery work.
But something new has been born as well: Wildweave Creations — the home for my writing and art.
My paintings and pyrography pieces carry herbs, moonlight, sigils, and blessings.
My words carry faeries, folklore, and ghost stories.
Both are threads of the same weaving.
Writing for me is never only about words on a page; it begins like spellwork. Each story starts as a whisper, a dream, or a flicker of light in the corner of my mind. I light a candle, sometimes burn herbs, and open my laptop as though opening a door between worlds.
Some stories grow slowly, like moss on stone. Others rush forth like mountain rapids, fierce and unstoppable. I listen to what the characters and spirits of place want to reveal. I listen to the sound of wind through trees, the creak of a door, the rhythm of the tide. Research is woven with intuition, and folklore becomes the loom on which the tales take shape.
Sometimes I write with music, sometimes in silence. Always with the feeling that something unseen sits beside me, helping me remember rather than invent.
Some of you may know I have written two fantasy novels, A World Unseen and Underworld Rising (together called The Naviira Tales)
Now I am at work on something new: Meeting Otherworld, a collection of folkloric and gothic short stories, including a novella called The Woodworker. If the fates allow, you will see it in the world by early 2026.
But I do not want to walk this path alone.
I would love to hear from you: have you ever had a brush with the paranormal, a whisper from the Otherworld, or an encounter that felt uncanny? Tell me your story!
And with your blessing, I may weave it into one of my short tales.

Thank you for being here. I am grateful to step back into this circle with you.
May the days ahead be touched with wonder and the quiet magic of things unseen.
With blessings from the hollow hills,
🌿 Blossom
