I read things like this NYT description of Faerie Magazine and just…well… scratch my head in wonder…
‘‘Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,’’ wrote W.B. Yeats, ‘‘for I would ride with you upon the wind.’’ Had Yeats read an issue of Faerie Magazine, he might have found what he was yearning for: a rarefied realm where practical concerns are replaced by bathmats made of moss, wearable gowns constructed from 500 English roses and women who maintain close friendships with ravens and crows.
Ha! My facebook feed is full of people who seem to want to believe in faeries and dancing bears and yet I am the crazy one. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fantasy and the imagery, but come on. 😉

It’s kind of fantastic. A whole magazine, even! I love unusual hobbies, especially when people are really passionate about them, and they’re (I think) harmless.
