What you knew in your childhood is true; the Otherworld of magic and enchantment is real, sometimes terribly real - and certainly more real than the factual reality which our culture has built up, brick by brick, to shut out colour and light and prevent us from flying.

About This Quote

The Otherworld is the realm of magic and enchantment. It is the world that lies beyond our physical reality. It is the place where the gods are, where all things are possible, where dreams are born. It is a world of magic and enchantment, beautiful and wonderful.

The Otherworld has been described as being both real and unreal, because it can be experienced in many different ways. Culture tells us that there is no other world but the one we have created for ourselves. We have all been taught to believe that magic and enchantment are not real, but people who have had personal experience of the Otherworld know otherwise.
