Editor’s Letter
November 2024
Sally Morris Editor-in-chief Welcome to the Spellbound Fantasy Realms November Issue! As we delve deeper into autumn and approach the threshold of winter, we invite you to explore the enchanting world of fairy tales and fantasy with us. November brings a unique magic to our fantastical realms. As the last leaves fall and frost begins to glitter in the early mornings, the boundary between our world and the realms of imagination grows even hazier. The long nights and misty days create the perfect atmosphere for tales of sleeping princesses, noble quests, and magical transformations. This month, as nature prepares for its winter slumber, we find ourselves drawn to stories of enchanted sleep and magical awakenings. From Sleeping Beauty’s hundred-year nap to the Snow Queen’s icy realm, November’s chill evokes tales of hibernation, transformation, and the promise of spring’s eventual return. The forests, now bare and mysterious, become even more intriguing settings for fantastical adventures. Every shadow between the trees could be a portal to another world, every fog-shrouded clearing a potential fairy ring. The waning moon, peeking through bare branches, casts an ethereal glow that seems to reveal hidden pathways to magical kingdoms. This is a perfect time for storytelling traditions that celebrate the power of imagination to warm even the coldest nights. Gather around the hearth and share tales of brave heroes, clever heroines, and the magic that lies dormant in the world around us. As the nights grow longer, our stories grow richer, fostering a communal experience of shared wonder and anticipation. For writers and readers alike, November provides rich inspiration for fantasy realms. The month’s atmosphere naturally lends itself to world-building, whether it’s crafting a cozy wizard’s tower where magic is studied by candlelight, or imagining a grand feast in a fairy tale castle as the first snowflakes begin to fall. The unique blend of melancholy and magic that November brings can inspire new twists on classic fairy tales or entirely original fantasy narratives. Next month, we’ll delve into the wonder and enchantment of the winter season. Until then, may your days be filled with magic and your nights with marvelous tales!

The Witch
THIS SHOOTING WAS DONE AT THE “QUERCIA DELLE STREGHE”, LOCATED IN CAPANNORI, TUSCANY. IT IS A MONUMENTAL TREE HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD, THE TRUNK IS ENORMOUS AND THE BRANCHES EXTEND IN WIDTH FOR DOZENS OF METERS LIKE LONG DEFORMED FINGERS, BEAUTIFUL AND DISTURBING. ANCIENT STORIES TELL THAT WITCHES HELD THEIR SABBATHS AND RITUALS HERE AND THAT THIS MAJESTIC TREE INSPIRED THE WRITER CARLO COLLODI TO WRITE THE STORY OF PINOCCHIO, FAMOUS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
