AUTHOR'S BIOGRAPHY: |
|
|
Tamarin Laurel draws on a childhood filled with the tales of paranormal
investigation done by her grandparents. Her grandfather Arthur M.
Young, after inventing the Bell helicopter to gain practical experience
in the workings of natural laws, went on to develop a philosophical paradigm
comprehensive enough to include both the physical laws science observes,
and the non-physical truths that exceed scientific enquiry. The family's
recounting of everyday interactions with friends and acquaintances were
also tales of psychics, mediums, past-lives revealed, and encounters with
the unexplained. The author went on to her own spiritual and paranormal
investigations of life from the setting of Witchcraft, in which she was
initiated in 1982.
During her college days of rowing competitions, Marin came to recognize
that a relatively small circle of people engage in Olympic-level achievements,
and that this is equally true of excellence in other fields of endeavor.
Having found it important to be exposed to that model of excellence, but
knowing that a small number of people, busy with their own improvement,
cannot be available to model that excellence to masses of other people,
she chose to create a fictional setting to illustrate a model of excellence
in magic.
The author currently lives in the hidden hills, close to the nature spirits
of Faerie, in a rural community where weather-working and water dowsing
are still practical -not
arcane--skills.
In addition to writing, she co-owns AzureGreen, a major mail-order and
web business for magical supplies and books. She encourages housemates,
guests, and correspondents to actively pursue their own excellence, starting
with an understanding of their dharma, or life's destiny, and extending
through all the interactions of their daily lives. |
