| While working as a News Reader in Scotland Magda saw a boy running on the edge of a moor. Concerned, she stopped her car as he crossed the road. He told her he'd found the wind trapped in a cave. This was the inspiration for her epic poem WindRose which she fully illustrated and wrote a song A Highland Lament. WindRose has since become a Symphonic Poem and Opera, which had its premiere in Darwin by Darwin Symphony Orchestra in 2009. WindRose has now been developed into an ensemble theatrical production combining the artistic directions of literature, music, movement through acrobatic dancers, a silk dancer and animation to produce multi layers of meaning to ensemble theatre. Then Magda studied Gemmology, conferred with Astronomers and Geologists as well as Western and Eastern Astrologers then wrote The Healing Power of Crystals, a book which sold out across the world before it hit the market. The Healing Power of Crystals was the first book of its kind in modern times which prompted many others on the subject. The Healing Power will be available as an EBook by mid-2012, as will her Feng Shui Student Manual which a hard copy is available from her website www.maggiepalmer.biz |
