It\u2019s the season for reading Ovid\u2019s <i>Metamorphoses <\/i>and experiencing <i>A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream, <\/i>for digging up your favorite selkie story or writing one yourself. It\u2019s for falling in thunderstruck love with the flora and fauna at home and in nature. They will transform you in ways you would never expect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">This summer, lose yourself in a forest, in a gown the color of Irish moss\u2014like this one here, by Chotronette\u2014with a crown like a halo of needles. In time you will come upon a cottage, or maybe a greenhouse, nestled in among the trees, as happens in the very best seasons. The door is open, and the display of potted plants inside tempts you to shed your crown. Wings unfurl from your shoulder blades\u2014you become a fairy, seeing and smelling and touching the wonders around you as if for the first time. And then maybe the queen\u2019s gown is too much, so you shimmy out of it and choose something you can run in. Shake out your hair and you\u2019ll feel a surge: The hard white antlers sprout, the sign that this version of you too is at home.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9754&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">There is no place better for living out tales of summer magic than Vaughan House, the site of this issue\u2019s cover shoot. You might remember the story from our \u201cMagical Spaces\u201d issue in summer 2021: When owners Megan and Mitch Vaughan suffered a miscarriage, Megan fell into depression\u2014and a testing of faith\u2014until a friend\u2019s gift of a potted daffodil somehow struck a hopeful chord. Gradually a new interest in horticulture drew Megan out of her sorrow. It inspired Mitch to build\u2014in their backyard and with his own hands\u2014a rustic greenhouse that Megan could fill with her favorite potted plants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Today the greenhouse brims over. It is a sanctuary for Megan and Mitch\u2019s young family, and it has unexpectedly transformed their lives. Their property is now a popular micro-wedding venue, and they are putting final touches on a new space, a cottage complete with a turret right out of a fairy tale. As they promise on their website, \u201cWe are the folklore hidden in the woods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9755&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Romantic love is most at home in summer\u2014perhaps with unexpected consequences. Consider <i>A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream: <\/i>If you fall asleep in the forest, you just might find yourself enamored of the first person you see upon waking, if the fairies are around to sprinkle your eyelids with the juice of a wild pansy called love-in-idleness. Or in a most unfortunate transformation, you might wake up with the head of an ass \u2026 and discover that the person who\u2019s been sleeping near you is perfectly happy with the new you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Every fairy is a shape-shifter. So are the Scandinavian <i>nisser<\/i>; so are naiads and dryads, goddesses and witches \u2026 and mortals such as this issue\u2019s mascot, Arachne, who was so renowned in life for her tapestries that she aroused the wrath of Athena\u2014and then defeated her in a weaving contest. After a beating with Athena\u2019s shuttle, Arachne repented of her pride and hanged herself. Athena showed mercy by resurrecting Arachne as a spider, and the weaver returned to work on the spot, albeit on a much smaller scale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cWeaving spiders, come not here,\u201d chants Shakespeare\u2019s First Fairy, protecting Titania\u2019s sleep. \u201cHence, you long-legged spinners, hence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">But wait\u2014we\u2019d like to extend those spiders, most humble fauna, an invitation. They are beneficial for the garden and for the home; their only crime is being so good at what they do. In tribute, look for spiderwebs throughout this issue; you\u2019ll find them made out of all sorts of materials, glinting or wisping in sometimes unexpected places.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Take our cover, for example. Our personal Titania, glorious model Molly Katherine, pays homage to Arachne in a golden detail. Molly is a bit of a shape-shifter herself. She says that designing costumes comes naturally for her: \u201cI\u2019ve always had an extensive range of styles, and a lot of times I get consumed by the aesthetic of whatever I\u2019m into at the moment\u2014whether that\u2019s a show, music, or anything else.\u201d Getting into character for a shoot is \u201creally just embodying someone that I already feel like or want to be, so it is a great way for me to channel the different ways I feel on any given day!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9756&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Molly\u2019s long locks are clearly a signature feature. They\u2019re also surprisingly versatile when it comes to transforming herself. \u201cI have endless options,\u201d she says. \u201cIf I want to let the outfit shine, I can do something really simple with my hair, and the image will still have that ethereal, fantasy, or Renaissance-painting look I\u2019m going for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">In Molly\u2019s pictures on these pages, we spot allusions to Pre-Raphaelite painters John William Waterhouse and John Everett Millais, and to stories of enchanted deer, and to the powers of gardens and greenhouses to soothe and inspire and even heal. Most of all, we see in these photos\u2014as with this issue in full\u2014a celebration of summer\u2019s hope and the power of flora and fauna (and very, <i>very <\/i>long hair) to inspire and beguile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><strong><em>Susann Cokal is the author of four novels, the latest of which is Mermaid Moon.
