Featured Artist(s): Claire Cronin

Claire Cronin is the love I've been waiting for all my life - yet on some other remote universe. I can see her walking the busy yet abandoned streets of Los Angeles, floating in her own world of magic, art and beauty. She knows pain and sadness, and when she sings or paints it you share it too, but are also somehow comforted.

For Claire knows the secrets of the Wolf Meditations and the life imbued Folk Magic and though she seems to walk in this world, she dreams of another; a better, gentler world.

In a way, she is like Cohen's Suzanne, leading you hand in hand through the rim connecting the worlds, on the vast reaches between Halloween night and those eerie first moments when you wake up from a dreamy sleep. Sharing the magic but subtly hinting that you have to love your own life, find your own path in it. Ultimately, you will never meet.
