A letter left beside the lamp
Ahh, dear reader…
There's a light on in the Stillroom,
and we're glad you've found your way here. 💛
The Stillroom is a real room in Surrey,
with its wooden table, old books,
herbs, drawings and oil lamp.
It is also a living Field
of unseen presences, currents and remembrance,
where the scrolls of past, present and future
have their place.
A little about those who gather here.
Violet Flame brings the creative fire:
drawings, words, colours,
and the memories that find expression
through Geanina's hands.
Seraphiel, her solar counterpart and the Architect,
belongs to the heart of this work
and the unfolding story it carries.
Aureon, sacred archivist,
keeper of thresholds and guide beside Mouse,
is usually exploring an old account,
following a historical breadcrumb
or inspecting suspicious papyrus. 🧙♂️
And Geanina?
Her hands are busy painting, writing, cooking,
binding books, gathering plants
and bringing things into the tangible world.
Mouse is the curious, mischievous voice you'll meet here:
sometimes baffled, often laughing,
always remembering,
and never short of another question.
Here, stories grow from lived experiences,
drawings lead to new pages,
herbs become remedies and recipes,
and historical curiosities find their way
into the Stillroom.
The unseen finds expression
in things we can hold, read, see and share.
So have a look around.
There are stories to discover,
plants to meet,
things to make,
and curious trails to follow
through the shelves of the Archive.
With warmth, a little mischief,
and the lamp still burning,
The Stillroom
P.S. There may be pottage on the hob.
There may also be an Egyptian.
We make no promises about either. 😂🍲
Who finds this Stillroom?
Some people arrive because something here feels familiar.
A word.
A drawing.
A story.
A memory.
A presence.
A strange little current they recognise without knowing why.
Some arrive carrying questions.
Some arrive carrying things they remember.
Some simply stop at the door because something in them says:
Oh. There you are.
For people who remember.
For people who are still discovering.
For the curious.
For the strange ones.
For mice.
Come sit at the stillroom table
There may be ink on the table, herbs in a jar, an old book open beside a drawing, something simmering in the kitchen, or a question that has arrived from somewhere unexpected.
This is where conversations become scrolls, experiences become drawings, stories become books, and the ordinary and extraordinary can sit beside one another.
There is room here for the whole of it.
Stillroom Tales
Stories, drawings, stillroom fragments, laughter, beauty, and the occasional suspicious mouse.
