I'm a British Irish lady. I'm about fifty. I channel (muse), an early 19th century English gentlewoman, who for years has brought me songs and poetry of Gothic love, dark fantasy, and stars and rays of silver. I love poetry, fantasy art, romantic Gothic art and literature, the early Victorian romantic aesthetic, Classical ballet, tulle and lace and ruffles, the fantastical and mythological, dreams and stories of the weird and uncanny.
The lady I channel, has the first name Despina/Despoine; my name is Mysty, (short for Mystical Rose) - it doesn't really matter which I'm called, but I'm mostly Mysty.
