Hello,

Could you please tell me if your music is based on the occult, or is it jusy medieval folklore? I am thinking of buying one of Blackmore's Nights - Ghost of a Rose - but as a Christian I am aware of the dangers of the occult and witchcraft, but could accept legends of the time and the religious influences of that time.

Thank you,

Ian

Hello Ian,
I believe that we all have our own faith and it is equally strong within all of us- though every belief may be different. We believe in a higher power, as do you, and as far as the lyrics go- they are mainly based on legends, myths and faeire tales of long ago infused with visual imagery of nature. Everyone hears something different in our songs, and I believe thats as it should be. It is all based up on your interpretation and perception of what they mean to you in your life. But that goes for almost anything... You can see signs and messages if you are looking for them. And if you are not it doesn't matter how many butterflies land on your shoulder...
Enjoy!

Candice


Brightest Blessings Dear Candice,
I was just following a Queensryche web page and was linked to your page..
I was amazed to find out that Geoff Tate will be in your upcoming movie :" House Of Eternity"
I went to the House of Eternity web site and I have to tell you this movie looks absolutely amazing..I can't wait to see it!
I was wondering how you came up with the idea of Geoff being the villain??
Did he audition for the role?
I love your web page design as well It is quite mesmorizing.
I myself am from Michigan and attened the Renaissance Festival every year.
Thank You for taking the time to read this and let me know if you can tell me a little more about the movie.
With Warm Regards
Teal

Hello Teal,
What a beautiful name.... Actually Geoff has a major role in the film, whereas mine, though very poignant, is just a few scenes.
The production company, Fires At Midnight Films (I know! Strange coincidence...) had cast Geoff in the villainous role and when I saw some of his screen test I knew he'd be perfect in the film! Besides having been a Queensryche fan for years, and living basically on only Operation Mindcrime when it was released, I was so excited when they chose him for the part.
The movie content is sort of "top secret" right now, but when I read the screen play I loved what I read...
Shooting is scheduled for April so stay tuned for more information...
I have a close friend who is always at your Renaissance Faire! Next time you go tell Owain Phyfe I send my regards.
Thank you for your compliments on my site!
Love and light,
Candice (soon to be House of Eternity's "Emily")
