Acadia National Park
Mount Desert Island and the Schoodic Penninsula, Maine
GreyHaven
Located on the rugged coast of Maine, Acadia National Park encompasses over 47,000 acres of granite-domed mountains, woodlands, lakes and ponds, and ocean shoreline. Such diverse habitats create striking scenery and make the park a haven for wildlife and plants. Entwined with the natural diversity of Acadia is the story of people. Evidence suggests native people first lived here at least 5,000 years ago. Subsequent centuries brought explorers from far lands, settlers of European descent, and, arising directly from the beauty of the landscape, tourism and preservation. - information researched and provided by Lady Dame FionaBrigit ni NicLeoid, ruler of Cibola

Agate Fossil Beds National Monument
22 miles South of Harrison, Nebraska
Plainitia
Agate is an internationally recognized fossil site. However, as a place, Agate is so much more. The landscape surrounding the fossil beds has been a site of change for millions of years. The relationship between land, weather, ecology and mammals in the Agate area has been a stage of continual change over time.
       Agate has also been a home to people like James Cook and his wife, Kate; great leaders of great nations like Red Cloud and American Horse. A place where people have lived, raised families and died. The record that is preserved in this cultural landscape not only reflects the diverse history of change and evolution, but also the struggles of existence in a region with so many extremes.
       Agate is also a place of interaction, reflective of both the natural and cultural realms. For Agate has been a meeting place between weather and sediment; the exchange of ideas and memories between cultures; and a sitefor present generations to make contact with the past. It's a place where tangible reminders of these interactions are present everyday. The weathering of sedimentary rock, bones becoming visible in cliffs, and the gifts presented to James Cook by the Lakota Sioux are all reflective of the strong natural and cultural relationships of the Agate landscape.
       Depending upon one's cultural viewpoint, discovery will always have a direct connection to the scientific history of Agate. During the 1880s and moving into a new century, scientists would rediscover what the Lakota Sioux and others already knew about--bones preserved in what many paleontologists believe is one of the best preserved Miocene mammal sites in the world. Through the help of James and Kate Cook, the complex interactions between weather, mammals and the land would be studied by scientific field crews from places like Pittsburgh and New York City.
       So, Agate is more than fossils; it is a cultural landscape that has evolved over millions of years and reflects many players; from early mammals roaming the valleys and hills, to nomadic nations of the plains, and later tales of life in the American West. Agate is truly a place of history. - information researched and provided by Lady Dame FionaBrigit ni NicLeoid, ruler of Cibola

Assateague Island National Seashore
Assateague Island, just South of Ocean City, Maryland
the Mists
Storm tossed seas, as well as gentle breezes shape Assateague Island. This barrier island is a tale of constant movement and change. Bands of wild horses freely roam amongst plants and native animals that have adapted to a life of sand, salt and wind. Special thickened leaves and odd shapes reveal the plant world’s successful struggle here. Ghost crabs buried in the cool beach sand and tree swallows plucking bayberries on their southward migration offer glimpses of the animal world’s connection to Assateague.
Human struggles are intertwined with this island at the ocean’s edge.
Gallant surf rescues by the US Life-Saving Service and dashed dreams of a summer beach resort are but a few of the stories told here. Marine and terrestrial life functioning in concert offer a closer look at a natural and cultural world shaped by forces larger than our own. - information researched and provided by Lady Dame FionaBrigit ni NicLeoid, ruler of Cibola

Big Thicket National Preserve
Just North of Beaumont, Texas
LoneStar
The Preserve consists of nine land units and six water corridors encompassing more than 97,000 acres. Big Thicket was the first Preserve in the National Park System established October 11, 1974, and protects an area of rich biological diversity.
       A convergence of ecosystems occurred here during the last Ice Age. It brought together, in one geographical location, the eastern hardwood forests, the Gulf coastal plains, and the midwest prairies.
       December 15, 1981, the Preserve was designated an International Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Man and the Biosphere Program.
       July 26, 2001, the American Bird Conservancy recognized the Preserve as a Globally Important Bird Area joining thousands of others around the world. - information researched and provided by Lady Dame FionaBrigit ni NicLeoid, ruler of Cibola

Callanish National Glade(The Callanish Stones)
On the shore and lands surrounding Loch Roag, on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides of the province of Alba Caledonia(Scotland)
Celtica
"This is one of four Stone Circles on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides island chain in the northwest of Scotland.
       From the website: "This site dates from about 1800 BC, but precise dates and proven functions have been hard to establish. Callanish I consists of a 43 x 37 ft circle of 13 tall slender Lewisian gneiss stones. In the middle is another stone, the tallest of all - 15 ft 6 in. Four incomplete avenues lead away, with single rows of stones to the east, south and west, and a double row just east of north. Had all the rows been completed, their axial alignments would have converged at the centre stone.
       Inside the circle are the remains of a chambered round cairn of Neolithic type, but archaeologists are undecided whether this was built before or after the stone circle and stone rows. Archaeologists find that looking south along the line of the stone avenue gives the point at which midsummer full moon sets behind Clisham, the highest peak in the Outer Hebrides.
       In the same area there are several other stone circles, like Cnoc Ceann a'Gharaidh (Callanish II), Cnoc Filibhir Bheag (Callanish III) and Ceann Hulavig (Callanish IV).
       Local tradition explains the presence of these stones by saying that when giants of old who then lived on the island refused to be Christianed, St.Kieran turned them to stone. Another local belief of this Gaelic-speaking community was that when the sun rose on midsummer morn, the sun god, Lugh, walked along the stone avenue, his arrival heralded by the cuckoo's call. - http://www.stonepages.com/ - information researched and provided by Lady Dame FionaBrigit ni NicLeoid, ruler of Cibola

The Crossroads
The intersection of Highway 8 and Highway 1
Rosedale, Mississippi
Belle Terres
"If you want to learn to play anything you want to play and learn how to make songs yourself, you take your guitar and you go to where a crossroads is. A big black man will walk up there at the stroke of midnight and take your guitar, and he'll tune it..."
--LeDell Johnson (no known relation to Robert)
       "Although Johnson's recording career was very brief, his life story has taken on mythical proportions in the years since his death. In rural folklore, the intersection of two roads was often regarded as an evil place, the site of black magic. This notion dated back to early mythology in Africa and Europe. As these pagan cultures were forcibly assimilated by Christian society, some of their original beliefs were blended with the new religion. So according to the legend, Johnson went down to the crossroads and made a pact with Satan. The devil promised to fulfill his dreams, thus Johnson traded his eternal soul for his extraordinary talents. Of course, the devil wouldn't allow him to enjoy his success and the lord of the underworld soon claimed his prize. Even though Johnson's musical legacy would eventually earn worldwide acclaim, he never had a chance to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
       But while the legend of Robert Johnson is interesting enough on its own, there is much more to the story of "Crossroads". In addition to the bluesman's untimely death, there have been a string of tragedies associated with musicians who have performed the song over the years. Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Allman Brothers Band have all experienced the loss of group members or loved ones. My website will also delve into these other occurrences. Personally, I don't believe that this song is actually cursed. While there have certainly been some terrible misfortunes associated with a number of the artists who have recorded the composition, I think these are merely coincidences. Nonetheless, it's another fascinating aspect of the "Crossroads" legend. Even now, this tale from American folklore still endures.
       Undisputed facts about Johnson's life are few and far between. More often than not, his legend has obscured the few grains of truth which can be discerned. According to the myth, the young bluesman desperately longed for fame and fortune. Johnson was not satisified with his own musical abilities and felt that he needed more talent to achieve success. He was already bitter toward his creator, blaming God for the death of his beloved wife and unborn child. Despondent and irrational, he made a momentous decision. At the stroke of midnight, he walked down to the windswept crossroads at the junction of Highways 61 and 49 in Clarksdale, MS. Reciting an ancient incantation, he called upon Satan himself to rise from the fires of Hell. In exchange for Johnson's immortal soul, the devil tuned his guitar, thereby giving him the abilities which he so desired. From then on, the young bluesman played his instrument with an unearthly style, his fingers dancing over the strings. His voice moaned and wailed, expressing the deepest sorrows of a condemned sinner."(http://www.stormloader.com/users/crossroads/#toc)
       *It has been recently discovered that the true crossroads, however, does not like in Clarksdale, Mississippi. It actually is Southwest of Clarksdale:
       "People say that the crossroads where Robert Johnson made the pact with the devil is in Clarksdale where Highway 49 intersects with Highway 61. But, as can be seen from the events described above, that's not the case. The crossroads, the one and only crossroads, where the Delta Blues emerged as a manifest entity in the person and music of Robert Johnson is at the south end of Rosedale where Highway 8 intersects with Highway 1. This will be disputed, as some people will dispute that Robert Johnson ever even made a deal with the devil. But the preacher man, Son House, knew. Even though he wasn't a preacher. And, if Son House were alive today, he would set the story right.
       Truth is, nobody was there when the deal went down but Robert Johnson and the devil. This statement will likely cause some people to say 'well, just where in hell did the events described above come from if nobody was there to witness them?' A reasonable question about a spiritual event. Realms must be observed. Or, at least, felt. The events described were witnessed in a Vision. With a capital "V". Not just any vision, but a visual spiritual experience more real and true than the reality and truth encountered on a day to day basis in the everyday physical world in which life goes on. A spiritual Vision about a spiritual event. Both in the same realm. Plus, the devil hangs close to the Mississippi River, and putting down his "X" as far away from the River as Clarksdale is simply something that would not happen. Voodoo oozes from New Orleans for a reason."(http://www.vagablogging.net/archives/002438.shtml)

Penny - who is gentle and infectious with her personality - is the lady of the establishment, and runs the shop with help from her friend, Lindsey: who's personality is just as infectious. They add to the vibe and experience in the Haven itself.
The Crystal Haven is, itself, a jewel. - ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance, ur-Lord(3/9/08)

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Halfway between Cleveland and Akron, Ohio
Snake Mound
Just a short drive from the major metropolitan areas of Cleveland and Akron, Cuyahoga Valley National Park encompasses 33,000 acres along the banks of the Cuyahoga River. Though such a short distance from urban environments, the park is worlds away. The winding Cuyahoga-the "crooked river," as named by American Indians-gives way to rolling floodplain, steep valley walls and ravines, and lush upland forests. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a refuge for flora and fauna, and provides both recreation and solitude for Northeastern Ohio's residents and visitors. Park trails, from rugged backcountry hiking trails to the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, a graded biking and hiking trail, offer something for everyone.
The park has a rich cultural legacy as well. Remains of the Ohio & Erie Canal, which traveled through the valley in the 19th and early 20th centuries, offer a glimpse into the past. Sustainable farming ventures help preserve the valley's agricultural heritage.
Whether you want to hike, bike, birdwatch, picnic, golf, fish, ski, ride Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, explore the history of the Ohio & Erie Canal, or attend national park ranger-guided programs, concerts, and art exhibits, Cuyahoga Valley National Park has it all. Come experience the park today! - information researched and provided by Lady Dame FionaBrigit ni NicLeoid, ruler of Cibola

Dark Entry Forest
Cornwall and Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut
Cascade
Something akin to the Dark Forest of "Harry Potter" fame, this forest, and the ghost town within, is all too real, it seems.
       From the site(http://www.weirdus.com/stories/CT02.asp):INTO THE DARK ENTRY FOREST ON THE ROAD TO DUDLEYTOWN, “THE MOST HAUNTED PLACE ON EARTH.”
       Can a family be so cursed that they carry their dark fortunes across an ocean to an entirely different continent? Can the place they settle absorb so much of their bad blood that it forever effects the fates of those who live there? And can that evil follow those unfortunate residents even when they choose to flee this macabre place?
       Some swear that there is such a story and such a place. A remote community where the former residents all went mad or succumbed to violent and unnatural deaths. Today, hundreds of years after their passing, it is said that this danger lurks in the woods of northwestern Connecticut. Unexplained orbs of light are seen swirling around in the dark forest where even the local wildlife dares not go. This is the story of Dudleytown—Village of the Damned. - information researched and provided by ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance, ur-Lord of the Domain

Deer Creek Canyon Open Space Park
30 miles South of Caer Boulder(Boulder, Colorado)
Eastern Divisia
Deer Creek Canyon Park encompasses diverse, natural environments. Perhaps most striking is the scrub oak habitat, uncommon in Jefferson County. Although small in stature, the scrub oak (Quercus gambelli) provides important food and cover for wildlife including grouse, turkeys, mule deer, elk, mountain lions, and black bears. Deer Creek Canyon Park had its beginnings as a campground for wandering bands of Ute and Arapahoe. The 1,881-acre Open Space park was first homesteaded in 1872 by a man from Plymouth, England, John Williamson. Back then, Deer Creek's rolling hills and fertile fields attracted both farmers and miners. John Williamson's famed Glen Plym Ranch, as well as the Couch and Clark Homesteads, all sat within the current park boundaries. - information researched and provided by Lady Dame FionaBrigit ni NicLeoid, ruler of Cibola

Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
the Mists
“For the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it... Yet, mad am I not - and very surely do I not dream. But tomorrow I die, and to-day I would unburden my soul.”
       Thus the narrator begins to confess to murdering his wife in “The Black Cat”, just one of many fascinating creations from short story master and poet, Edgar Allan Poe.
       Exploring themes as diverse as spirituality, astronomy, science and depravity, Poe’s writing is as powerful and arresting today as when he was first published. Poe’s 6 years in Philadelphia, 1838-1844, were his most productive. Not only did Poe edit and provide critical reviews for very successful magazines, but he also invented the modern detective story. While in Philadelphia, Poe penned such classics as “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “The Fall of the House of Usher” and poems like “The Haunted Palace” and “To Helen”.
       While living in Philadelphia, Poe went from the high of being a popular lecturer to the despair of learning that his wife Virginia was ill with tuberculosis. The brief and tragic life of the author, his times, and literary legacy are interpreted in the building that once sheltered Poe and his family. - information researched and provided by Lady Dame FionaBrigit ni NicLeoid, ruler of Cibola

Edison National Historic Site
West Orange, New Jersey
Cascade
Thomas Edison's laboratory and his residence, Glenmont, were home to the inventor from 1887 until 1931.

The Einerlei stores
Located in the shire of Einerlei(Chassell and Chassell Township, Michigan) and Caer Portage(Houghton and surrounding towns and townships, Michigan), in the Stronghold of the North(Houghton, Hancock, and Chassell, Michigan)
Snowdonia
"The main Einerlei store: located in the shire of Einerlei(Chassell, Michigan), in what is known as the Stronghold of the North(Houghton, Hancock, and Chassell, Michigan) is the one that's the stronger of the two. Housed in a two-story wooden house, it makes you feel at home and at peace. It has ornaments, greeting cards, crafts, materials, books, cooking items, a gardening section, clothing, glassware, a gift registry, a gazebo located behind it in its backyard/garden, and a host of other things. You'd have to visit it yourself to believe it.
The second store, Einerlei Up North: located in Caer Portage, in the Stronghold of the North, is a smaller version of the main Einerlei store in terms of size and inventory, but it is no less peaceful: especially in the midst of a small-sized caer.
Both stores have a way of making you feel peaceful, sparking your imagination and creativity, and making you stop and smell the flowers. That, to me, is a freehold." - ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance, ur-Lord of the Domain and Realms.

Eternal Moon Valley(Ontonagon River Valley)
Between the shires of Quiet Valley(Mass City, Michigan) and Crossroads(Bruce's Crossing, Michigan)
Snowdonia
"I've given this valley many names,... but it was a dear friend who inspired me to name it Eternal Moon Valley. I came upon it when Snowaidene suggested the route through Mass City to Bruce's Crossing as the quicker route to get to our sister Tia's home for that particular day's outing. you can feel and sense the signifigance of the valley's ancient power from the moment you come to the valley's edge. It was - and still is in many respects - a holy valley. The power held there is quietly immense. The only mark of civilization in the valley other than the road itself is a rest stop at the valley floor, set right upon the shores of the Ontanogon River. The forest that covers the sides of the vale are old: older than I can tell. The oldest among them are the great pines: which tower like redwoods above all the other trees of the valley. They're so old, branches radiate out from the very tops of the trees themselves, and they lean because of their height and weight. Driving through this valley, you are aware almost immediately of the spirits that still walk through this vale. Spirits akin to the Ents of Fangorn Forest from "The Lord of the Rings", or the forest gods from "Princess Mononoke". And in truth, that is what this valley is. Gods and spirits still walk in this valley. Ancient to where few - if any - remember their names. They are aware of everything in the world, as they are a primal part of Gaia herself. In day, you are filled with awe at feeling the amount of power that flows through the valley. At night, the inhabitants walk the forests and the valley floor, so if driving through, it is a show of respect to not stop,... unless some quest brings you to spend the night there. Or they call you there to tell you things they feel you need to know." - ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance, ur-Lord of the Domain and Realms.

The Evergreen Woods

FairyStone State Park
8-9 miles South of Ferrum, Virginia
FairyStone
"The namesake of the Realm itself, FairyStone State Park is considered to be the center of all magickal power in the Realm, if not one of the centers. Its name comes from the unique stones that can be found in the ground within its borders, and nowhere else in the world: sones that are naturally shaped like crosses of varying styles. The source of these stones can be explained in a legend about the lands that make up the park, and an event that happened almost two millenia ago:
       'In a quiet sunny nestled among the rugged foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in Patrick County, Virginia, a section made reowned by the fact that old King Powhatan once held undisputed possession there, was discovered a single quarry of the far-famed Virginia "Fairy" or "Lucky" stones.
       In that weird spot, the only place known in the world where the little wonderworking gems are to be found, the good faeries flourished and had their workshop many hundreds of years ago. This, you will probably say, was rather a strange place for Titania's subjects but were you to visit this charming mountain region you would find every rock and tree infected with a glamour of romance.
       As the real origin of these crosses of stone, comparatively nothing is known as leading scientists of the country have failed to throw any satisfactory light on the subject; but in that remote mountain section runs a very pretty legend to the effect that hundreds of years before King Powhatan's dynasty came into power, long before the woods breathed the gentle spirit of the lovely Pocahontas, the faeries were dancing around a spring of limpid water, playing with the naiads and wood nymphs, when an elfin messenger arrived from a strange city far, far away in the land of the dawn, bringing the sad tidings of the death of Christ; and when they heard the terrible story of the crucifixion they wept. And as the tears fell upon the earth they were crystallized into little pebbles, on each was formed a beautiful cross. When the faeries had disappeared from the enchanted spot the ground around the the spring and the adjecent valley were strewn with these unique momentoes of that melancholy event.
       Not even in the Old World, with it's quaint and curious lore, is a more beautiful legend to be found, and just how it originated no one knows; but for more than a century thousands of people have held these little crosses of stone in more or less superstitous awe, being firm in the belief that they will protect the wearer against witchcraft, sickness, accidents and disasters of all kinds. Every stone is in some shape of a cross, and millions of people are now wearing them in various forms of jewelry.'
       There is the legend, and the story behind the fairystones. Donnae' take my word for it, though. Go there and judge for yourself." - ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance, ur-Lord of the Domain and Realms(the fairystone legend is archived in the Domani Library)

Friendship Lagoon
Located within MacGovern Park
Caer Menomonee(Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
the Dells
A month had passed since two boys - Purvis Parker and Quadrevion Henning - disappeared, before they were found in the lagoon of MacGovern Park in April of this year. Many theories were brought to the fore as to how they disappeared, why, and where they were now. Some looked to foul play. In the end, it was far from that.
       As far as evidence showed the police, Purvis Parker: not knowing how to swim, fell into the lake. Quadrevion Henning: knowing how to swim, went int to try and save his friend, giving his life to save his friend. Neither made it out alive. Only a month after the fact was the truth discovered.
       But in death, it prooved, they did a wondrous thing.
       During the month of their disapperance, complete strangers came together from beyond the borders of the Dells to help the friends and family of Quadrevion and Purvis in the search for the two friends. In the process, new friendships, new bonds, and a wider sense of community were forged. In life, Quadrevion and Purvis forged an undying friendship. In death, they brought people together in common purpose and friendship.
       And so is the Lagoon named, in their honor and memory." - ShadowDarkFyre the LordVengeance, ur-Lord of the Domain and Realms(04/20/06)

"Oddly enough, it is a highway. This is not odd to me though because I have always felt very peacefull behind the wheel of my car. I'm a born traveller, you see. The highway I speak of is Gratiot Avenue near its end as you approach Marysville travelling east until its end a few miles later in Port Huron. I have witnessed several omens here which I subsequently describe in Magick Mysticism and Belief." - Lord Solace Boheme, ruler of Aquaterra

Griffin Grove Inn
836 Tucker Brook Road
Griffin Grove(Hardwick, Vermont)
Cascade
"The Griffin Grove Inn is an alternative 160 acre getaway nestled in the undisturbed forests and hills of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Our monument to nature and all her glory is perfect for any nature lover wishing to hike through the unspoiled wilderness and relax in its wonders. The Inn is a reminder of times passed when traveling was an experience to savor and not merely a means from getting from one place to another. Overnight respites were a place to enjoy good food and drink and share stories with other travelers and your hosts around fires and under the starry skies. This energy filled paradise is also ideal for earth religion followers looking for undisturbed ritual space with a supportive attmosphere. If you have ever felt too "on the fringe" for a B&B you won't have to ever again."
Unfortunately, due to lack of funds, the Inn and all its lands were shut down, and are likely sold. - Quoted from the index page of the Griffin Grove Inn website, formerly at http://www.griffingrove.com/.
