Introduction

Sulicena filia Vassurae (she/they, formerly Tiffan Fairamay, mundanely known as Sylvan Thorncraft) is a very curious person who loves to make beautiful things. She wonders a lot about human life ways, and how our personal lives, beliefs, and domestic practices are part of a sweeping arc of time, history, and evolution of culture. She also harbors a long standing love for, and curiosity about ancestral roots, fairy tales, and folk ways.

Persona

Rooted in pre-Roman Iron Age Britain, Sulicena’s people live in a small inhabitation built upon a fen carr next to the River Brue, the remains of which are now called the Glastonbury Lake Village.
