Ren Faire Angel

10/21/2026

This is a post I never wanted to write.

I'm going to be honest. I'm at a crossroads, and I don't know where to go from here. Many other creators have voiced their opinions and concerns so eloquently, I can only hope I can my express my own to the same degree.

The latest news of M3T4 policy has me rattled, and hesitant to keep sharing my photos, my adventures, and my website content on here. I started out on this venture to share purely my passion, joy, and experiences with everyone I met at any of the faires or Scottish games I had the chance to visit. It was never for monetary gain (I never gained one penny from either my content or from faires I would freely advertise), fame, or glory. I just wanted to show the world that there is a light of hope in the darkness of this age, and that spark is the Renaissance Faire community.

Now the promise that any and all of my content will be scraped, stolen, reused, abused, and morphed into something I have absolutely no consent in, and will absolutely not be compensated for, scares me to death. I want to keep sharing my adventures with you all, especially since I am now living halfway across the world from most of you. Yet, I'm tired of feeding the machine. But how would I keep in touch with so many of you, keep an eye on many of the vendors, performers, friends, and events I've come to call part of my fairemily? If I continue on this platform, keep sharing what I know will be taken from me, is that doing more harm than good? Will I be a hypocrite?

This is why I've become so quiet lately with getting my photos online. I don't even know if it's worth the risk anymore, if disconnecting my website from my profile (because any links I share or connect to will also be subject to this theft) would be for the best, eventually letting everything I had pushed so hard for go quietly into the web archives.

Ultimately I wish to stay connected with you all, but the cost of that starting October 30th might be too much for me to handle. It would break my heart to let it all go because of what M3t4 has done to this platform. If I were to stay, it would be purely for my fairemily. I only ask that you understand, if I do continue, why my photos and content become less engaging as before, leaving my main engagement to just be comments, the occasional picture post, and of course my season announcements for Oklahoma's Renaissance Season.

I don't want to break, but I can't stop the cracks from showing.

Sometimes the most beautiful things in the world require you to run outside in PJs and crocs, into the cold, trying to stand perfectly still while holding your camera in night vision with maximum exposure. We had a real treat tonight with a gorgeous Aurora above our town! I feel so blessed to live here, what a sight to behold!

While normally October for Oklahoma is reserved for the Choctaw Scottish games (cancelled for this year) and Oktoberfests galore, there's quite a few Renaissance & Norse-themed events going on around the state that you should check out!

This cool one-day event is happening TOMORROW in Stillwater! Lots of familiar names are going to be there, so you're bound to have a Craic'n good time! Say hello to the crew of Kommando Kilts for me!

Are you counting down the days until 2027's St. Patrick's Day? No, we aren't either, of course, how silly to ask! Instead, we're having Block 34 Live do the counting for us! Get your green on, wear your kilt, bring a drinking vessel, and come celebrate the halfway point with us in Stillwater this coming weekend! We'll have everything you need to be Irish for a day, surrounded by music from Waxie Dargles, Flowers of Edinburgh, and more! Let's have a craic'n good time! 🍻🍀

Today marks the Autumnal Equinox, also called Mabon! Here, we notice the days getting shorter, nights getting longer, and the warmth turning colder. By this time, most harvests should be or are close to wrapping up, with cleaning and storage preparations for the coming winter months already underway. Often, a final feast is laid out with an offering of thanks to the heavens for the reaped rewards of the harvest, as well as a prayer for a mild winter that gives the world a much-needed rest before the farming season begins once again.

In our own lives, we see it as the start of the annual holiday rush. "I need to get this for that person!" "There was so much I wanted to do this year!" Don't let the season have you run faster than your own, peaceful pace! Take time in each day (or night) to celebrate all that has been accomplished this year. Maybe take a walk amongst the changing leaves and trees, drawing reflection upon how your own life changed this year. Look forward to spending time with yourself, family, and/or friends to keep your light shining, even when the darkness grows deeper and colder in this cycle of nature. Blessed Be!

September brings us the finale of Scotfest, one of the longest-running Scottish and Celtic festivals in the country. If you've never been, this is your LAST CHANCE to see what brought together Scottish communities, athletes, and Celtic musical acts from all over the world into our humble state of Oklahoma! Then after that, celebrate the halfway mark to St. Patrick's Day with a wonderful day filled with music, shopping, and good eats from across the state!
