You've got to follow your passion and your own personal way of doing something. Sometimes, the 'wrong' way is the right way -- you just have to wait for everyone to realise the earth is round, that's all.

Song Of The Magic Realms
There is a realm of magic where the brave of heart reside, where witches, elves and wizards work their magick to the tide. Where dragons guard the Great Divide and warrior angels fight for the freedom of empowerment, our ancient, given right.
My name is Dianna Hardy and I am an author of occult / mind-body-spirit books, gothic poetry, dark fantasy and paranormal romance (see DiannaHardy.com)
As well as my writing, I enjoy sharing with others my spiritual thoughts and experiences. I have been working with the unseen elements of the earth and the spiritual dimension for as long as I can remember, my earliest memory being at one year old, when I was taken by my mother to an ice sculpture of Snow White in her coffin within a cave in Portugal ... a moment which I immediately recognised as being important and have never forgotten. That Snow White was also the very first film I ever watched at the cinema at the age of three, left me with no doubt that the story of Snow White was significant to me somehow. It was not until many years later that I realised so much of what I did had a name and an orgin within Shamanic (and other) practices, and that Snow White was a symbolism for the path I was to follow: Death, Rebirth, Eve/Lillith and the Apple, and of course Love, the meaning of 'happily ever after' and the healing of broken hearts.
Consciously, I began to study Magic, Witchcraft and Shamanism (from different traditions) in 1999, finding excitement in knowing that many things I already did naturally, like journeying and communing with my Spirit Guides was 'normal'.
My main teachers have always been my Spirit Guides (different ones at different times), and I have been led to Earth Teachers every now and again to enhance my learning, focus my initiations and nudge me in the right direction, including Ivan McBeth and Dr Yubraj Sharma. Learning is continuous within any form of spiritual practice, because energy and spirit is not solid - it always changes and transforms... I am always learning something new.
This website has come about because one of my previous sites, WitchWays (created on wanadoo-members Sitebuilder in 2003) came to an end. Most of what I held on that site is here. Within the Magic Realms you will find elements of how I live in and perceive the world, as well as some things I have learnt along the way. This site exists because I'm a creative person who likes to share her thoughts.
Living shamanically and the power of magic is something that I strongly believe is inherent and very much alive within all of us and whether we choose to take that further into a full blown practice is our choice.
This site is both an expression of who I am, of my choices and a window for you, so that you may catch a glimpse of your own magic realm, just waiting to be rediscovered.
