my authentic self
The Fairy Call
A Spell for Summoning the Fairies
Sit where the cat sits. Cross your toes.
Close your eyes. And smell a rose.
Then say under your breath:
"I believe in fairies, sure as death."
Gadflykins! Gladtrypins!
Gutterpuss and Cass!
Come to me fairily
Each lad and lass!
From "Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book"
wasn't quite sure what to call this post - a toss up between 'believe', 'believe in yourself' or 'my authentic self' - but as I am on a journey of discovering my 'authentic selves' - my authentic self won!

this past week has been a big soul search for me. Not sure if some of you will like it. sad but true
I know I have told you before - what I 'blog' about is who I really am and I want to stay true to that. I feel I am taking a different turn with my journalling and although it will still be the same, you will notice differences. I am sure. Cause although I am absolutely obsessed with vintage stuff - I am starting to de-clutter in a big way - only keeping the stuff that I either love or use. I have also realized that the reason that I love housekeeping the vintage way is because I need to get back to basics - basic green stuff - as few chemicals as I can and whole, good foods that nurture my body and my soul - including herbs and alternate methods of dealing with illness, *boy, now I really sound like a complete nutter but this is ms*robyn and her authentic self.
I have a strong belief in God - BUT I also BELIEVE absolutely in faeries and I believe in Mother Nature. And Buddha. And most definately angels. And I know that I have to be true to what I believe in, without the fear of whether or not I am liked and accepted, for what I believe in.
Like I said - my blogging is taking a slightly different turn - I am the same ms*robyn from last week. And there will be swaps always !!!! I hope you continue to visit as I treasure each friendship I have made so far but if you don't or can't then I am truly sorry and I wish you well.
But I truly believe that we are all sent to each other - whether it be for a reason, a season or a lifetime. big hugs to each of you xoxo

It is always good to hear that someone is being true to themselves. I think people are good at adopting personas and not being themselves and it is hard to sustain. I like people who are themselves not what they think I want them to be.
Love the fairy summoning charm!
I'm glad you are being brave and being authentic! I believe in the same things you do, and just yesterday had a moment when I realised that it's ok to tell people. You never know how many others are like you and share your beliefs until you start putting it out there. And now you will attract people into your life who are very compatible to you.
Big hugs to you my friend :)

Hello friend ~ I for one (and the others who've posted already), just want you to be yourself and be happy.
Each of us have our beliefs, dreams, wants and needs. If we all had the same it would be a very boring world! If it weren't for angels around me my life would be a mess!(worse than it is *grin*)
Hugs right back at you Ms Robyn.
*HUGS* I love reading about this new journey you are on. It is like you are going through a spiritual transformation, that you are craving to be 'your authentic self' and that you can't be anything else anymore. It's a delight to be able to share this journey with you through your blog.
You know what, you aren't alone. I believe in Jesus and Buddha and Mary and faeries too! In fact I have that Lady Cottington's book too and the illustrator (Brian Froud) is one of my favourite artists.
Don't be afraid to be who you really are. I'll let you in on something - I've been to pagan festivals, participated in full moon rituals, dabbled in the magic arts with serious nutcases!, lit candles and chanted, taken part in guided meditations, gone to a catholic church early on a sunday morning and prayed, 'seen' faeries in the forest, cried about my suffering to 'our lady' - there is so much magic in it all and we are free to choose what we believe - it's about the only thing we are free to do, so embrace it!
Thanks for sharing this with us all. =)
Wonderful post Ms Robyn...its the differences that make each one of us unique! Celebrate your authenticity!!! Hugs to you dear...
good to see you back and feeling so much better. I am looking forward to seeing the changes and reading baout them....go for it Robyn! My fave quote....." to thine own self be true"!!!!
Your blog, your thoughts, your beliefs = your self.
Just do it ms* robyn.
I think that when we aren't true to ourselves it starts to eat at our physical health.
best wishes. You go girl!

I am glad you are feeling better!!
I'm enjoying the journey with you Robyn!
Robyn,whatever path you take along your journey,I'll be right there with you!!
Hi I have been reading your blog for awhile.. and I loved this post... I also
love to collect vintage... but went thru severe de-clutter last fall.... kept only special things....it was a wonderful cleansing experience...
and I feel so free now.. I highly recommend it.
When I was a very little girl I believed with all my heart that I saw a fairy flying around the room as I lay in bed... The well meaning grownups in my life told me that I had been dreaming and do you know - I never really believed them as I know what I saw and I was being honest as only little kids can... To this day I believe that I saw something that wasn't this reality... It was before the days of telly so I can't have been influenced by something which I saw... And angels - if the mind is quiet one can hear the whisper of their wings as they gently brush through the caverns of the Soul...
Ms Robyn, My favorite quote has always been "To thine self be true". I believe you have found this to be so too. I have always believed what I believed no matter who snubs their nose at me. It isn't written anywhere what I should believe in or who I should be. Therefore why should I be judged for being me? Who knows better than the person living your life but you? Good for you. Enjoy your journey. I certainly enjoy mine.
