Going home - 13 days on the island
Tasmania, the grand Van Diemen's Land where a certain pride of place and beauty resides. Every year I come here for Christmas and New Year celebrations, soaking up the clearer air and softer water which compared to Old Melbourne Town is so much more pure and soothing. Every time I come here there is a recharge of energy, as some Wiccans might describe a different 'frequency' to Launceston as there is to Melbourne. There is a great temptation to move back here, but then we've just signed a new lease for a beautiful flat we're about to have a house clearing for. The majesty of Tasmania is shining at the moment in her full glory with the recent rains with growth of all kinds everywhere: so many ferns, Tasmanian violets and plants of every variety - Australian and European amongst colonial homes.
You walk into stores with Tasmanian produce like natural soaps, huon pine products that make the room smell divine, cheeses, honey and candles from the local lavendar farms. Every time I come here I seem to have interesting and prophetic dreams and wonderful magickal energies around nature itself which surrounds you as people grace their backyards with pride, established trees lining the streets.
In a township of only 80,000, the place is small enough to regularly bump into others and most places only take ten minutes to drive to. Being a cheap and eurocentric place to live though, you see a lot of conservative types and very bad taste when it comes to fashion, so it's not all amazing here. Whilst it's wonderful to be a part of a small and friendly creative community, the numbers aren't great and the pagan community is very small. It's a marvellous place for pagans to live, but more so if you're a solitary practitioner who keeps to themselves.
The love of design, particularly in local architecture is apparent wherever you go, with very little built since 1950. As one of the first cities to be established in Australia, coming across something like the house below is not unusual:
I doubt very much that I will ever move back here, but its magick cannot be denied. I hope to take more pictures or at least show you some pictures at some point of this wonderful part of the world.
Blessed Be,

Desired Home VI
I tried to trace who designed this and where it is and I couldn't find anything, and I'm scared that the tree trunks will grow more and sssquash this house like a big hand and turn it into match sticks!

Desired Home V
Speaking of Marie Antoinette, you can't talk about her without talking about her 'country-style' home away from home, Le Petit Trianon.
C'est tres jolie n'est-ce pas? If she wasn't already materialistic enough she ALSO got this - the French eh?
This was her quaint country-style villa where she could relax and get away from the gentrified, stuffy environment of Versailles.
It makes me love my rustic country-style hand carved and turned pine dining table all the more - just bought it the other day!
Oui, darlinkas!
