Scarlet Fan is a magical, mystical fantasy story for dancers-at-heart.
Albeit light and lyrical, its themethe importance of balancing the outer with the inner, action with intuition, externalization with introspection (sun with moon, fire with water)is one whose relevance cannot be underestimated at this time when the imbalance of misdirected scattered fire energy does threaten to destroy this planet.
The story is alive. It is visual and rich with verbal imagery.
The reader, whether male or female, is lured to identify closely with the protagonist, Philomela (whose name literally means love song in Greek): her frustrations, confusion, the gamut of emotions and feelings she experiences as she undergoes the transformations necessary to reunite with her counterpart, the knight. The reader would derive inspiration from the words of Mars and Venus (embodiments of action and intuition respectively) and other mythical gods as they provide hope, encouragement, and guidance to assist Philomela in her unique quest. It is unique yet universal and one whose realization in this story suggests a glimpse of the beauty and power of the extraordinary destiny of our race.
While the archetype of the proverbial knight in shining armor may be considered (and justifiably) to be outdated and redundant, it does play a vital role in Scarlet Fan. For the knight, when his fierce and fiery ways are directed and inspired by intuition (Venus), he is capable here of epitomizing one aspect of the true ideal, the male aspect, when balanced and whole. Only then doth the twain meet. In his words, intuition comes first from the water.
(Its all inside us, but it cannot stay there forever.)
Hence the focus is on Philomela, the embodied female. It is she who must summon her own firethe courage, will, and determination to delve into the deep and bring to the surface her subterranean talents. She must allow the waters of the subconscious mind to trickle out and nourish this barren soil.
So yin meets yang, and powers within can sally forth into the world, like a beautiful rose with its petals unfurled. One sees the shining, magnificently velvety deep blood red of the outer petals. But one can only guess at the quintessence of its heart.
Mystery prevails.

Autoren-Porträt von Melody Lemond
Melody Lemond was born in Sydney, Australia onOctober 2, 1950, into a large family - mostly of females.
Her thirteen years spent in Catholic boarding
schools were dark and stultifying, yet the clouds of
suppression, repression and oppression gradually
dissipated as she emerged into womanhood and
emancipation during the 1970s.
Melody wasted no time making contacts with artists and sensitive people of like mind.
During the earlier part of the 1970s, she took yoga, dance and drama workshops.
Then, after buying a donkey named Abdul and sometimes riding it in whatever
demonstrations might require her input at the time, she moved to the Northern
Rivers area of New South Wales where she traveled the 'bush' regions with her
sister, giving drama workshops for children in isolated towns - sometimes in local
country halls and often outdoors, receiving some acclaim from local media.
It was after a brief, yet significant eye-to-eye encounter with an erect snake
that Melody somehow knew that it was time to leave the bush for the city...
and sold Abdul. This was a major decision, which required that she drop her
well-laid plans of traveling around Australia with her sister (and donkey and
cart) doing puppet shows.
In the mid-1970s, Melody was drawn to the world of theater in Sydney,
specifically to the genius of Lindsay Kemp (British) and his band of fine performers,
then touring Australia. For a year she traveled with his company - a magical year
(understatement), which primed her well for the advent, the following year, of
Marcel Marceau, with whom she formed a close bond. The beauty and power
of this significant relationship prompted Melody to enlist the aid of her guides
to write a channeled book, utilizing the light of the then pervading inspiration.
These compilations comprised much wisdom and guidance (mostly in prose),
which Melody sought to follow while performing her solo performance, "Satin
Dreamscapes", a lyrical contemporary piece which

played in the major cities in
Australia as well as in U.S. for a brief season in 1980.
On her return from U.S. Melody compiled her earlier channelings - held during
the rise of the moon for a year after Marceau's mid-seventies tour - into what was
entitled: "Crystal Fragments". During Marceau's next tour to Australia in 1982, he
corrected, at one of their meetings, the French conversations strewn throughout its
pages. These limited edition 'print-outs' were distributed among friends.
During the early eighties, Melody, continuing her writing and reading,
assisted unemployed artists of all mediums to access government grants for
group projects as promised by the Prime Minister of the time - yet to little avail.
In 1984, Melody gave birth to a son, now a scientist and avid surfer - and in
1987 to a daughter, now a trained and talented dancer. She is presently living in
Byron Bay, close to the sea and to like-minded people. As with her now grown
children, she is riding the waves with anticipation and readiness.
