Description

This is me as Silverhair the Wanderer, from Diana Paxson's Westria novels. www.westria.org/books/silverha… Photo by Diana Paxson, taken here: donsimpson.deviantart.com/art/…

This is part of the photograph taken for the cover of The Wandersong, a CD of songs from, or relating to, Westria. A picture of the full cover is available in my Scraps. donsimpson.deviantart.com/art/…

I can't actually play the harp, but I do have waist-length silver hair. That's Diana's harp, and the purple velvet cloak is borrowed from Linda VonBraskat-Crowe (known in the SCA as Linda-Muirall von Katzenbrasse), who wrote the song Fair Mistland. www.thewestermark.org/wiki/ind…

I'm also on the cover of Jewel Songs, the second Westria CD, which has Mount Diablo in the background, just as this one has Mount Tamalpais in the distance (both anciently sacred mountains). www.westria.org/music/

This looks like the Finnish hero-shaman Väinämöinen! :)
