The Magic of Gower part 1 : The Llangennith Faerie Lass

The Llangennith Faerie lass ( 9-10 / Sep / 2010 )

I had a wonderful time in Gower. This was the first leg of my planned two trips to Wales.I stayed in Llangennith, with easy access to the Beaches, which were magnificent, they don’t call Rhossili and Llangennith beach a surfers paradise for nothing.

The idea was to spend five days in both the South of Wales ( Gower ) and then another five days in the North ( Swondonia ), experiencing the beauty of the environment and making contact with the Devic life force and
capturing them on camera for the project.

As always with these excursions I always end up getting much then I bargained for. I chose Llangennith as my base for exploring The Gower, as I was on foot and would have rely on public transport ( if any ), I find it important to be within walking distance of the areas I wished to explore, and in this case it was mainly the pristine beaches.

On a non-descript Thursday, I went by train from London to Swansea, were I was meet by Pippa, a friend who I hadn’t seen since she left the chaos of London for the peace and tranquillity of South Wales. We caught up on old times for a bit, over a cup of tea in a café, which also helped me to acclimatise to the Welch environment as well as finding out from Pippa a bit info, about various places I could visit while out there. After that I got a bus from Swansea to Llangennith.

I was staying at the Kings Head, a quality B&B opposite St Cenydd’s Church ( pronounced Kenneth ) I loved my stay at the Kings Head, not least because my room had under floor heating and featured one of the largest bathrooms I’d ever seen for a B&B , mega comfort!

My first full day in Gower was a bit of a wash out. It rained from the beginning of dawn, and continued right through the day. It was my first experience of proper “Welsh rain”, a fine mist like rain, that’s so light, you feel as if you could walk around in it without needed to cover your head, but after five minutes find that you’re completely soaked!

Still I didn’t let that stop me from making the most of that day. I took a valuable series of photographs on that day at the crack of dawn, catching the sunrise. When I first started photographing, it was in that fine Welsh rain mist, but as the sun began to break, the rain stopped, and that when I captured the “Llangennith Faerie Lass”.
A image I find rather magically. Check her out for yourselves. She appears with a group of her faerie friends, during a period where the rain has stopped, skies have cleared and become light. She can be found at the bottom of the image, standing by the outer wall of St Cenydd’s Church.

The contrast of the wall helps to bring out the incredible detail in her form. She’s approximately 18 iches to
2 feet tall, and appears to be a “True Faerie” type as opposed to been an elemental, been that she’s fairly advanced. She’s manifesting in a manner that is both energetic and figurative. Her features and feminine form can be seen in the centre of the phenomena, with complex and beautiful streams of energy flowing around and through her form, producing an auric wing like display. She’s quite something.

I didn’t go to the beach that day given that the weather was soo typically welsh! Instead I went back to Swansea
to stock up on some supplies, I also managed to capture some Devas in Swansea, in-between shopping.
