About Me
- Maerian Dagger, Elenarwen of Sidhevair
- I have an inworld and outworld aspect. In the Sidhevairs I am Maerian, the Elenarwen (Star Lady) of the Sidhevairs (Faery-Elves). We Faelf are blended creatures from between the betweens—bridging them while opening portals between our Worlds and the OutWorld. In the Outworld, I am a student and a teacher of religion, folklife, and semiotic rhetoric (discourse of signs and symbols) and a Priestess and founder of a Faelf mythopoeic religion, Westernesste. Westernesste's bylaws and information can be found in a related blog, Westernesste. What distinguishes Westernesste from its many spiritual relatives is its primary focus upon the exploration and development of modern archetypes and mythopoeic work drawn from the literatures of fantasy, myth, folklore and science fiction. In other words, Westernesste seeks to poetically and creatively draw upon these sources to intentionally birth new myth and meaning with the hope of enriching the lives and spirits of its members and the world. An important way that we attempt to realize our goals is through our virtual lands of the Sidhevairs.
