Once upon a time .... there was a cartographer and adventurer named Sir Thomas Oisin Rhymer Leaf who embarked upon great adventures between the New and Old Worlds searching through folklore, myths, and legends in search of answers to many different quests, each linked together, as he unravelled the secrets of the world, of mythology, of fantasy, of faeries, and magic. Many of these adventures began as dreams realized by vacations as he delved and explored the mysteries of the unknown. As he weaves his "Living Myth" the divine has presented upon him various omens, oracles, and prophecies that lead him to some pretty fascinating places in the world, embarking upon travels found in legend, but taking place in the modern era. He has found secrets of love, unravelled lore, unlocked secrets of the unknown, and has begun to walk the threshholds between the world of mortals and that of the lands of faeries. Below, we invite you to take the journey from whence it began and follow it as the Living Myth unwinds opening doorways to a future of high sea adventure, mystical lands, and proof that what was once thought to be a mere 'fairy tale' is very much alive in the concrete jungles of technological societies. Delve through the lore with this technogypsie as he explores the ancient, mundane, magical, in the here and now ....
