Welcome to Quilled.
Thought sketches from an anti-staunch daydreamer.
This blog is home for all and a haven for dreamers. Posts are assigned to different categories, but the themes often converge, flow into each other, and are woven throughout all. The Dreamers' Library – shared exclusively for Nest OQ Dreamers. Do Dream – the theme of tending to your dreams is felt in all posts, but new Do Dream-themed posts will also be added to The Dreamers' Library. The Tower Reversed – as a post-indoctrinated being, I'll always try to be anti-staunch and explore freedom, allowing space for my daydreamer to bloom. Wild Flower Wisdom – direct reverence for our shared soil and skin.
I hope you enjoy your time here & bloom as you are.
Love, Rose x

Oi, Oi, AI.
I saw a reel on Insta exposing an AI posing as a singer-songwriter. I made a reflex comment: "How did this pass me?" Upon reflection, I know how. I had my suspicions when I first heard the song, but when I clicked on it I saw that the 'artist' had a real name, so I checked on Instagram and saw it had an account, a normal looking face, and even a religion. (Talk about a double agenda from whoever created it.) But anyway, for someone whose ears tingle with suspicion whenever an
She ran away from dreams.
The autumn before last, I had a stall at a local market to share my oracle deck for dreamers. A tall, robust-looking woman around 70 came in. She wore colourful clothes and had intentionally messy hair. She was looking through each stall, engaging in conversation with the other stall holders, enthusiastically buying their goods — all handcrafted, 'ethnic', some other tarot and crystals, essential oils, etc. She came to mine and gasped. She uttered one word — 'dreams' — in wha

Certified Dreamer. ᵈᵒ ᵈʳᵉᵃᵐ
I am a certified dreamer. I hold proof. I’ve been one since 2005. Imagine 11-year-old me at my primary school graduation ceremony—each student called up one by one. I hear my name and walk towards the front. Read aloud was my award: “To Rose George – for always managing to fit a little day dream into the day.” At the time, I probably just smiled shyly—was I embarrassed? I can’t remember. But I was always drifting off somewhere far away, and I’d even forgotten about the award
The Precipice of Space ᵈᵒ ᵈʳᵉᵃᵐ
This assignment was a self-chosen topic – we could draw on past lectures to be included but had relative freedom. At that time, in 2022, Tate Modern had Surrealism Beyond Borders which is where I found Marcel Jean's Armoire Surréaliste. Thank you, Tate. Just a bit of recent historical context for this blog. R. P.S. The last p.s. is personal. In this essay, I will briefly consider theoretical approaches to interpreting our connection with space and

Friday Night Post-it Note.
Artistic expression is gaining access to yourself. I love writing songs—or anything, really—and discovering my feelings and points of view. Like, oh, this is what I think. Interesting. Without the process of songwriting, I might never have realized I’d fallen in love with my husband. I listened back to the lyrics, and they told me the truth of my heart. Sitting down to write about a certain topic and finding the words drift into a new perspective, or reveal hidden truths and
Does a seed dream itself into being? ᴰᵒ ᴰʳᵉᵃᵐ
Are you honouring your dreams? Those that aspire to a dystopian future want to scare us into imagining their desired outcome. What we collectively imagine, we contribute to its creation in reality. So do your best to dream a better, kinder world into being. It’s not about money; it’s about ideologies and agendas. Beliefs are what rule. Protect your mind. There are some profoundly disturbed people with a lot of power. But you have power too. Imagination is tangible. I don’t wa

Growing up, my dreams became a refuge—a sanctuary. My inner dreamscape was the place where I could safely just be. Through my dreams, I was able to preserve myself, and now I'm able to rediscover myself because of them. My oracle deck was created with so much love and affection for you dreamers. The creation process was both affirming and liberating for me, and I truly hope the messages shared in the deck also bring you comfort as you too draw closer to yourself as you align
