I believe another one of Queen Bonnie's criteria would be that the potential wizard must have a reliable (and comfortable) means of transportation.  Whether it be a motor vehicle or flying carpet...

(Bonnie - got my old user name back!)

Queen Bonnie

 Huzzah Nagling! So good to see you back here!  Hugs to you and Shirleen!
Transportation is a good thing!
  I am not fond of Portkeys!  He should have a wizardmobile!

Queen Bonnie

 Don't give up on me, friends! I am in need of a wizard.  Keep trying? There has to be a few out there- somewhere? Wizard Quest volunteers needed !

 Well, Molden, I am hearing my Evil Twin Sister is also looking for another First Mate, too. Funny how that happened. Grog and Lord A going at the same time. I know where Grog is though. Drinking Davey Jones Dry! LOL! Poor Davey Jones. Grog never said much- but he could sure drink! Pirates! Gotta love them!
Lol!  I had to hide the Scotch- and even the French perfume- when My Sis was in port! Grog drank everything!

Bonnie, there had been a photograph of a harpist in photos of the day by able archer that seemed to fit your description--but now it's gone.  :-\  I guess that means he was not the right one.

One of the toughest parts of finding a wizard is that they are utterly incognito in daily life. They don't seem to congregate much outside of faires. Try www.oberonzell.com. I believe this wizard already has a consort. However, he conducts a school of wizardry (truly, he does--or did--the link seems dead) and thus is connected to others of a wizardly bent. He'll also come out to speak if you can get enough people interested to afford bringing him to you. Advertising such a visit could be a way of drawing your local wizards out of hiding. If nothing else, you could contact him (and yes, attach a picture) and let him know of your dilemma. He may know of ways to connect with other wizards.

 Wizards are a solitary lot- Alas!   I can spot them even disguised as Muggles.
I doubt I can afford to bring one here. I will try my luck at TRF again this year. Who knows who might appear.  Perhaps I should seek a renn man and teach him the way of the wizards?

Certainly if a non-wizard ren-gentleman is intrigued by you, there's hope that he has an inner wizard that he simply hasn't given full rein to. Of course, I like to think you magical sorts can develop strong and indulgent feelings even for those of us who do not have a strong magical bent. Despite a couple of years fraternizing with a wizard, I still don't feel that's my path. Not that I'm completely lacking in magical ability but it seems to be more of the hedge-witch or gypsy-mystic variety. We do not appear to go together at faire, but in our hearts we do.  ;) And that's what counts.

Indeed, magic as with other forms of reality is relative and what you make it of it.As with most kinds of people, there are wizards of all sorts.Magic is by no means all flash and bang,it can be as simple and quiet as effective communication with a friend, whether they are of the two footed or four footed variety,furry or feathery or even not.

Finding someone who shares or appreciates your goals and values is no easy thing to do in this life, but it can be done and I have faith in the fact that you will find that sort of understanding again with someone in time.

As to the wisdom of training a ren-man up as a wizard I can not pretend to be able to give sure advice.I know my path to it has been life long even before I was aware that it was where I was headed.Some are born to it other I am sure can be lead to it,as I have alluded, there are wizards for every season.What is most important in this search is that you are open to the possibility of finding one,when he turns up.

Queen Bonnie, there's a "must see" wizard tagged "the white wizard" among Aragorn II's photos of the 4th week of Bristol in the photo thread. Perhaps you need to send Aragorn on a noble mission to discover if he is attached or not.  ;)

Hey Bonnie I know I'm too young but if we ever meet I would don a wizard cape and hat and escort you around for a day.  :D

 Grammercy, Sleepy! Sounds like fun!

Oooohhhh, Queen Bonnie, if there is a wizard that might be suitable, I hope a visit to Bristol will be in your future.  Steve and I would love that!

 I don't travel much. the Renndevous was all I have done in years.
Mr Wizard might have to come to Texas. If I can find him- or he finds me.

 I have been straight out with the ARRG party here. I finally had a chance to check out that White Wizard picture! He is great! I did E-mail Aragorn. We shall see what happens.
