Spring Metamorphoses

I do believe that this issue of Enchanted Living is one of the prettiest ever, with some of my favorite artwork and rather nice writing ... plus a few articles by me. Come for the pictures by Henrietta Rae (her little-seen Apollo and Daphne is a FIND, my friends), John William Waterhouse, Gustave Moreau, and the three curious princesses of the cover. Then stay for my article about Ovid and his Metamorphoses (please!), plus the quiz that reveals what your own personal next metamorphosis will be.


What the world needs now is a better change, right? Let's manifest.




Peace, love, understanding ... and how about changing the narrative, so that instead of celebrating those gods who abuse their power and get aggressive with women, we take control of the story and grant the women some agency for defeating their would-be assailants?


Henrietta Rae's 1895 Apollo and Daphne was a special discovery. (Used with permission.)

And on to addressing other crimes ... But first, pretty pictures and enchanting tales that offer an inspiring model for those metamorphoses.


Happy spring! Let's renew this world.


One of my favorite covers--who can resist a gothic arch and colorful silks--all refurbished from thrifted garments?

A couple of questions to help you figure out your mythological type and the change you need. It will be posted on the Enchanted Living website eventually, but why not get your very own copy?
