When Inspiration Knocks, Open the Door,
In 2004, Duirwaigh president Angi Sullins set a special poem to gorgeous paintings and lovely music, forming an online record. If you’re like me, you may have not only saw this internet sensation, but also derived fantastic pleasure from it–quick along the like to friends and family all over the world.
In Spring of 2008, publisher Amber Lotus published a book based on this small film, and it now has another incarnation: the 2009 Knock at the Door wall calendar.
With lush imagery from eight uncommon artists, including Sullins’ partner Silas Toball, this otherworldly calendar is both gorgeous and functional. In fact, it’s the first wall calendar that I’ve ever seen that lists Pagan/Wiccan holidays throughout the year.
Each breathtaking painting measures about 9 x 9 inches, with a subdued yet attractive dark green textured patterned border. (With the border, the entire top image is about one foot square). Two uplifting sayings are printed higher than and below each colorful painting, written in white flowing script.
For model, a golden haired robed woman holding a wand graces a wintry, but warm scene for the month of March. The sayings accompanying the picture are “When was the last time you consulted your faerie godmother?” at top, and “At the edges of your vision, beyond the bend of your awareness, the faeries wait, keen to give your wishes wings” at the bottom.
The date part of the 2009 Knock at the Door calendar looks nearly like a smooth, sand-colored marble with unobtrusive yet elegant point around the edges. The moon cycles are noted throughout each month, as well as significant international holidays (including Bastille Day and World AIDS Day), as well as religious holidays from the Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish and Pagan traditions.
The Blue Moon is noted as is the Buddhist Wesak Moon, as well as notification of Mercury Retrograde periods (how cool is that?) American Federal holidays are also given their due, as well as lesser known revelry and dates (e.g. the Dalai Lama’s birthday and Random Acts of Kindness Week).
For the environmentally conscious, you’ll be satisfied to know that the interior pages of the 2009 Knock at the Door wall calendar are made from 100% recycled paper (54% post-consumer). In addition, the interior pages are printed using soy-based ink. Kudos to Amber Lotus being a member of the Green Press Initiative!
If you’re looking for an utterly gorgeous calendar to hang on your wall or give as a gift, I highly recommend the 2009 Knock at the Door Calendar. Providing contemplative sayings and cool reflection amid these busy times, this calendar will not only remind you of vital dates and personal appointments, but also provide ethereal art to decorate your personal space throughout the year.

|Absolutely breathtaking artwork.,
What incredible artwork. It’s hard to know why this stuff is on a calendar because I’d imagine that some public would pay very well to have a copy of these paintings in nice frames in their favorite room for decoration and artwork.
The opening point is particularly delightful. Buy this calendar and take pleasure in such beauty for an entire year!
