Shooting Stars

Fairies are real! Well in my world they are. 

Many cultures around the world, throughout history, speak of fairies and their amusing behaviors. So I guess I’m not the only one to believe that fairies possibly (exist…yes they do!)

This is the story of two tiny fairies, who are named, Twinkle and Twilight.

They’re busy every night shooting stars into the heaven’s, filling it with brilliant stars. 

Using sharpened arrows for flight, Twinkle and Twilight attach golden stars and aim for the deep dark night skies, letting the arrows fly. Soon, all the universe is abundant with golden shimmering stars.

On this evening of Soween (the end of summer and the start of winter), a time of which it’s especially interesting to look into the night sky, you can see the Pleiades sitting in the constellation of The Hunter Orion. Which is to be found in the eastern skies…look past Orion’s Bow and above Aldebaran to see this cluster of stars, called the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters

The celebration of Soween, was marked by the Celts when the Pleiades climbed to its highest point in the night sky, around midnight. So Twinkle and Twilight are extraordinarily busy this evening making sure to get every star into its perfect place!

If you really want to explore all of the evening's hauntingly beautiful universe, you can search out the Witches Nebula, next to Pleiades and the star Rigel. In this evening's night sky you can also find Pegasus the flying horse and The Ghost Nebula. So many spooktacular stars shining brightly in the deepest, darkest night of Soween.

Soon Twinkle and Twilight will return to their glowing, cozy, pumpkin cottage to enjoy a delicious loaf of warm Barmbrack, raisin tea bread, along with a steaming cup of roasted acorn tea. Twilight is hopeful to find a coin that has been placed into the loaf, for the finder to receive a wish of prosperity in the coming year.

So, to all those who are celebrating a spooky All Hallows’ Eve or a sparkling Soween; may your home be filled with warmth, delicious aromas of Brambrack, prosperity and love. And may your night skies be saturated with golden shooting stars that have been shot into the evening’s sky by two of the most amazing archers’, Twinkle and Twilight….
