WHAT IS VOE VALEES

Oooh hello there!

You found the little secret page, you lovely curious thing. Thank you for exploring further into the realm of Voe Valees.

Sometimes, I get so excited and inspired by an idea that the ideas just keep coming. I get into a continuous state of flow and I barely sleep for days on end, and yet I have more energy than ever. That is Voe Valees, from the beginning. This is a love affair with inspiration, a muse, and a calling (that I found quite by accident) to that which lights me up. I hope to embody that in the pieces I create, and I can't wait to share it with you.

So why Voe Valees?

It came to me in an instant. One evening, not sleeping and in that flow state focusing on my little endeavor, my thoughts wandered. I happened to be thinking about how much I like the letter V (as you do). As I played with words that start with V, I suddenly heard, in my mind like from some celestial being out of the ether: VOE VALEES.

Well, disembodied voice, that sounds nice. Is that a thing? Google said no. But Google also said:

Voe: English, from the Old Norse vagr, meaning ocean or sea

Valees: Derived from the Asturian velea (pl. velees), meaning nightmare or sleeplessness

Voe Valees translates to 'sea of sleeplessness'

How perfect, and weirdly lucky, was that? I don't know if you've ever read Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, but that, right there, is Big Magic. Seriously. I got tingles.

So, seeing as you've bothered to read all the way down here, I'll tell you a secret. Send an email to thewitch@voevalees.com and tell me you know what Voe Valees means - and I'll send you a surprise!

Let's make some magic
