Diary Entry:
Jamaica Inn
Autumn Equinox: September 22, 2004. Light and Dark = Equal parts.
We move into a state of perfect balance today.
As much Light
As much Dark
The house is buzzing. A new cycle is in motion and we have chosen to move with it. Dunc will be lighting the candles for tonight. The house will be alight waving to the beautiful darkness outside.
Animal totems will be chosen for the season � until Winter Solstice.
We will have the carved animal totem representations made by artist from all over the South West. Once chosen, we reference the animal wisdom from the book, Animal Speak, by Ted Andrews or the Animal Medicine cards by Jamie Sams.
Mabon. Today. The witches day of giving thanks. The harvest that has come in. Whatever that is.
Gathering in and getting rid of that which will not serve me in the coming months. Donating items that have served their purpose and can serve another purpose for someone else now. Natashya is donating her bottles to a baby yet to be born� Her bottles have been around the world with her. It was a constant and now she seems ready to let them serve and comfort a � twinkle in the sky � that is about to be born.
Tash believes, at this time, that children are first �twinkles in the sky� before they are born. She also has believed that when �you� die you then become a �twinkle in the sky.� So tonight as Dunc is preparing mulled wine for those in the house and those visiting, Tash will be preparing warm soy milk in a teapot with all kinds of different tea cups to choose from. Very� Alice in Wonderland� � and why not�
The Gales are blowing outside with an eerie howl. Mark and Marcel are getting �Jamaica Inn� up on the board. This is the sort of day that inspired the creating of that song - from the writing, to the tracking with Matt and Jon to the backgrounds which will be put down within a few hours. Mac Aladdin will then add some Mandys. What our leading female character has to confront is harrowing in a sense�
It has been months since I wrote the above thoughts. It is now the week of the Chinese New Year - Year of the Rooster. But Mardi Gras day and Pancake day, Shrove Tuesday, arrive where I sit first, signalling the observation of Lent. It�s been almost a year now since I got caught in the gale storm somewhere in North Cornwall and Jamaica Inn came down and sat next to me in the passenger seat of my Saab."

"There's a song Jamaica Inn that I wrote as I was driving along the cliffs in Cornwall on a 'beautiful' English day. And all of a sudden the gales started to come in. My mind started to wander and I pulled over on a cliff. I started to think about the story that I'd been told by some of the locals. When a ship would run a ground the wreckers would come in and take everything. I started to think about this story that was taking over my car in that moment. Jamaica Inn walked into my Saab and she said, 'You might not like my story because I'm not gonna tell you how it ends yet. You need to travel it with me and we're going to have to explore your deepest fears.' What always stops me is betrayal. And what scares me is if I betray someone."

"If we can all begin to start looking more at our lives like a garden and within a garden it has different shapes, I mean yours may not be, um, based on a hexagram concept. The Beekeeper is however, mainly because the cells of the hive itself are based on the principle of the hexagram. For my wisdom and my sort of Tree of Knowledge to expand, I chose to follow my heart so I flowed my husband down to Cornwall, wellie boots and all, this would not have been my first choice. I enjoyed living in cities, but now, over the last few years there is a different rhythm here and the weather is very much a character in this theatre piece of my life, it is a huge part, um, and, the power of it when the gales blow in off the Cornish coast. There is a song Jamaica Inn that I wrote, as I - didn't get trapped but I was just driving down on a beautiful � quote unquote beautiful � I mean it was raining,
it's England. And all of the sudden the gales started to come in and my mind started to wonder and I pulled over on a cliff and I started to think about the story that I had been told by some of the locals where the wreckers would come in when ship had would run aground and take everything and I started to think about this story that was taking over my car in that moment. Jamaica Inn just walked into my Saab and she said 'you might not like my story because I'm not going to tell you how it ends yet and you need to travel it with me and we're going to have to explore your deepest fears.' And I think my deepest fears come down to betrayal in love friendship it's not death, that's not my greatest fear, tragic if it's untimely but it is going to happen to all of us. What always stops me is betrayal and if I betray someone, that scares me too."
