Thank you for your insight into this portal! The term "ladies from the outside" was used in Sicily in the 16th and 17th centuries to refer to fairies.

This is not music. It's a gateway to another world. It's so beautiful... Especially the track "Errantry" has a certain... spirit of travel. Thank you for this masterpiece :)

Thank you very much! Errantry is probably one of the most medieval-influenced tracks on the album.

Felt like I just started back up "Gauntlet Dark Legacy!" & Dibbs on the Blue Wizard! 🧙‍♂️

I felt like I had wandered into the myths or fairy tales of another world that we never knew existed. All thanks to the great music and pictures.

This video appeared as a synchronicity. I was imagining myself standing in front of a mirror. I was thinking of mirrors and reflections. And that’s when I saw this video with that artwork. Very beautiful music and story 🌸 The "mantic berries" and "land of youth" concepts are very close to me. Your album is truly brilliant and magical!

Thank you very much. To create it, I was inspired by Art Nouveau jewelry.

When I read that you spent two months creating the digital sculpture for the cover, and saw the album atop the hammered dulcimer, I had to order it. This is true art. Thank you for creating this with so much effort and heart.
