To My Own Spirit Be True

An Open Letter to the Art Community on Ustream and Elsewhere:

Hi There Fellow Artists!

I feel the need to share a bit about my current goings on about art.

I love the Ustream/Youtube Artistic Community.  Both my show on Ustream and my Youtube Channel are named Morgan's Fancies where I have in the past posted artwork videos on topics that struck my fancy.  Well I am a time and a place on my journey where my fancies lay in continuing to explore my own path without fear or the need to limit myself or my art. 

I am a spiritual creature and that spirit is Pagan wild and free through and through.  Unfortunately for the last year or so I have let that spirit slowly wither away as I struggled to contain my spirituality, to cage it so to speak.   I have come to realize that my struggle to contain my art and my spirituality  came about because of a struggle I had encountered within the art community I belonged to (and still do).  In this wonderful community of artists the subject of religion is taboo and people had problems with the subject matter of my art.  I ended up making a short video which I posted both on Ustream and Youtube about this.












Anyway I find looking back that I was severely triggered by this incident  and much I would love to say that I have moved on I have to be totally honest with you all and myself  and say that old issues have reared their nasty heads and have not been effectively dealt with.  So here I am longing for my fire, my inspiration and my enthusiasm but these truly are all currently out of reach because I let my shadow issues pull me away from everything and everybody. 

I have been really busy at work for the last month or so hence no streams.  I have also used this time to re-evaluate some things and have come to some conclusions.

I will continue to stream but my stream will be religion friendly.  I welcome discussion on the topic of religion.. no matter what the religion but there will be some ground rules.

1. Respectful Discussion is welcomed and encouraged.  We do not all believe the same things all that I ask is that people be mindful of their words and attitudes when it comes to a differing opinion than their own.  If you find yourself unable to do so then by all means do not attend my streams.

2. No One Way is better than the other.  Agree to disagree in a respectful manner.  If you are uncomfortable with the vies of others do not watch.

I will return to streaming soon but will hopefully be much better prepared with themes and projects posted before hand that way if you choose to attend you are well warned ahead of time.

Here is a list of possible projects in the near futre:

• Goddess Wish Box
• My Favorite Things Mixed Media Mosaic
• Faery Tags and other projects
• Wheel of the Year Cards
• Clay Censor
• Clay Goddess Statue
• Goddess Stones
• Elemental Bottle
• BOS Covers and Pages

I will be posting on my blog(s) more information, inspiration, thoughts and poetry  pertaining to my own pagan path.  I welcome you to join me on this journey or not as you so choose.  I myself have made a commitment to never again try to contain my spirit into someone else's idea of what I should or should not be.

Thanks so much for sticking with me this far..  Many Blessings to You!
