I think I will look at a custom sphere for music, one where I can later bind a series of Project Sanctuary habitats related to music and expression. Interesting too that the Merfolk were associated with sirens and beautiful singing too.

An idea that came to me is a Phantasmagoria Stone, an orgone sphere or gem which would have similar properties to the Frank L Baum Tribute piece. It would have custom bindings and portals to Realms created by our favourite authors. Darkover, Atlantis or Avalon of MZB, Mercedes Lackey's world of Velgarth, Diane Duanes Door Into Universe or for the Sci Fi fan, a Star Wars, Star Trek or Dr Who realm.

Sorry that this has gone off topic.

Hopefully I will look into working with Merfolk soon, I am still settling into all the shiny magical stuff surrounding me.

(The Master) Charles Baudelaire (in a previous life in Paris in the 1880s, I always was jealous of and admitted that I was saddened to have never met him before he died as I was too young at the time. I know this period intimately both from then and now.)
Petronius (the first novelist & social critique
Yma Sumac (the real voice of the Zhah-ta-bay spelled Xtabay)
Cicero (what a clear mind)
Jacqueline Susann (whom I believe was a great novelist and who I knew in the party scene in Ancient Philadelphia, she used to call me the "Quaker version of Rimbaud who chain smokes while drinking vodka martinis" and I used to call her, "Ernest Hemingway in drag & who has discovered sex beyond Ava Gardiner"
Spencer Trask (a turn-of the-century visionary businessman and relative of mine)
Austin Osmon Spare, a unique individual; brilliant.
Riley Ballard, a multi-level genius, closest of high school friends, and a great poet, who died too young
and obviously lots of others.....

Creating these Virtual Worlds also will improve everything about one. IQ, Street Smarts, the Nature and Use of VArious Powers, and the Nature and ways of Friendship. Also business, if so inclined. Imagine starting your own school where you hire your personal greats in realms you feel connected to, and then also having them as friends and even lovers, as well as advisors.....From Gorgons to Einstein to Elvis to whomever. Also this is the first stage of the use of the "keys of Basil Valentine" who was an alchemist and relates to Herman Hesse's Magister Ludi and The Glass Bead Game and also Hesse's Steppenwolf (Haller's "magic Theatre").

Caiyros! Upon hearing you talk of Yma I became intrigued when I read about her on Wikipedia. I downloaded her album 'The Voice Of The Xtabay' a while ago and I love it! She is an awesome singer and her Peruvian songs are wicked. Totally awesome
