:: FERNALESE CHAPTER TEXTS FROM THE ENCYCLOPEDIA ::
Bruce Rimell
In the Encyclopedia of Fernal Delights (Fernalese: ぺぉみりあぢんゾン fermiridintzon) each chapter begins with
a bilingual text about the subject in English and Fernalese. This document presents each text, first in English,
then in Fernalese, followed by a Romanised version of Fernalese and an interlinear analysis of the text to
demonstrate the thought processes and conceptual constructions of the language. It will be quickly noted
that the texts in the two languages do not precisely conform, most obviously in that the English text narrates
each aspect of the Garden of Fernal Delights in the third person, while Fernalese does so in an impersonal
voice, using a suffix –ec or in the first person plural (strictly speaking, using non and –on, the 4th ‘common’
person denoting ‘we, us, everybody, all of us’) as might be expected for a language addressing the Garden’s
own denizens!
The list below gives all the grammatical abbreviations used in the interlinear analyses: these mostly relate to
the functions of particles and affixes, and in all cases, are given in capitals. Some particles, such as ia, io, sa
and to will not necessarily be analysed when their function is simply to close, open or colour a clause.

:: ARCHITECTURE :: ILLAMNITERO ::
Fernal Architecture is as varied, and as organic, as its inhabitants: flying houses and floating cities merge
with tree houses and magic caverns. Trees transform into dwellings, and even people can become places to
live. At the same time, houses can replicate the Fernal Cosmos in microcosm: a roof can become a portal
into the Heavens and a cellar the dark recesses of the Underworld...

:: BOTANY :: ZANFERTERO ::
Plants in the Fernal Garden are as conscious as any other species. Though they are rooted into the garden
and hold the fertile earth together, they delight in singing, transforming and aiding other Fernal Species.
Because of their connection to the earth, they are often called upon as councillors for Ana, the Goddess of
the Fernal Earthly Garden. As the roots entwine with each other, their consciousness illuminates the Garden.

Because they are interlinked with the Earth, they are called upon to become councillors for Ana, who

:: CULTURE :: FERORI ::
Fernal culture is rich and abundant, redolent with colour and festivity. Music, dance, theatre, literature,
carnivals and ceremonies all make the cornucopia of culture joyful. Fernalians are completely uncompetitive.
Tradition teaches to cultivate the best in each unique being for a diverse and eclectic exchange of each
other’s gifts. Exchange, enhancement and obtaining knowledge though councils, schools, workshops and
tutorship are always eagerly sought after.

Literal Translation: Fernal Culture is (like) the fertile earth and bearing fernality, and colour and celebration
rides (it) [gives it identity]. Music, dance, performance, literature and ceremonies all make the fernal-giftdance joyful. We Fernalians do not make sorrow, but we exchange talents (through) states of consciousness
where delight in such exchange is taken, so that all people’s unique talents are strengthened. Improvement,
intuition and wisdom are sought with great enthusiasm: this happens at schools, academics and in councils.

:: DREAMING :: MIARTERO ::
The Fernal people know that dreams are portals into other worlds. However, unlike other portals in the
Garden, these are portable doorways. As Fernalians slip into somnolence, they find themselves in the
Heavens or the Ocean, materialising into surreal worlds strange even by Fernal standards. Dreamers remain
as lucid in dreams as in waking: they know them not only to be sacred visions but also wondrous journeys
into the unknown.

Literal Translation: We Fernalians, who know that dreams have the nature of portals to otherworlds. That
said, differently to garden portals, these are portable doors. While we flow into sleep, we Fernalians dream
ourselves in the sky or in the Ocean Garden, we enter strange worlds that are weird (by) what seem (to be)
fernal standards. In this world (and) in dreams, we remain lucid while dreaming and while waking. We deeply
know the beauty and the wondrous voyage, and we delight in exploring hidden (things).

:: EROTICA & LOVE :: AORMETETERO ::
Love and erotica are deeply intertwined in the Garden. Love is a prerequisite and key to enter the Garden
and goes beyond yet encompasses erotica. Erotica is the playful and fantastical side of Love and the Fernal
beings delight in expressing love through the flesh and its senses. The visionary union of sexual love is a
way for the Fernalians to gift each other their experiences: information and identities flow between them as
they delight in sexual congress.

Literal Translation: In the Fernal Garden, love and erotica are deeply interlinked. In order to enter the
Garden, it seems a preliminary event (is that) we touch love which encloses and exceeds sexual love.
Erotica is love’s playful aspect, and we Fernalians delight in expressing love through bodily sensation. There
exists a way (which is) the sexual love of visionary union, (in) which Fernalians exchange our wisdoms –
while we delight in sexual pleasure, we collectively share our information and our microcosms.

:: FASHION :: BANCHEATERO ::
Fernalians are very fashion conscious; they love the ever-changing styles which the Garden ceaselessly
produces. They adore embellishing: decorating their bodies with hats, jewels, fine silks, surreal accessories,
and even living jewels which sing as well as decorate. Body art is also a favourite in the garden. Tattoos and
piercings adorn the young and old alike.

Literal Translation: We Fernalians are attentive to fashion – we love the forms that transform for a long time
created by the Garden. We adore crafting (and) decorate our bodies with hats, fine silks, other weird things,
even living jewels which sing and also embellish. Body art is also adored. Tattoos and body piercings
decorate young people and elderly people.

:: GODS & GODDESSES :: XINFIN ::
The Creatrix Afer rules over the rich and bountiful pantheon of Fernal Gods and Goddesses. The Fernal
Garden is Her body, and the Gods, Goddesses, Nymphs, Spirits and fernal species are Her children. The
Gods and Goddesses are the deified qualities of all the essential conscious states which the Garden
exemplifies. Because all in essence is just a fractal expression of Afer, these deities are integrated in all
species in the Garden and reside in the heart of Afer which is common to all.

Literal Translation: The Creatrix Afer takes care of the fernally-gifted array of sacred beings. The Fernal
Garden (is) her body, and the goddesses, male gods and queer gods, the nymphs and fernal species are her
children. The gods have identities as sacred embodiments, which the Garden of Fernal Delights expresses
(as) all the existent, cosmic consciousness states. Because everything has the nature of Afer’s shared
microcosm, thus sacred beings are enfolded deftly in all these Garden species, which all dwell in Afer’s
ubiquitous heart.

:: HISTORY & MYTH :: MICOTERO ::
The mythical history of the Fernal Garden is rich and magical, beginning with the creation of the cosmos
through the sexual mysteries of Afer, the Fernal Creatrix. It explains how the Garden and its various features
came into being. The history also includes stories of mythical voyages across the Heavens, sexual farces
and narratives of how the Garden evolved. Fernalians love to invent tales, and when they do, the Garden is
responsive enough to make them true.

Literal Translation: Fernal mythology is a magical gift, and it begins (with) the Fernal Creatrix Afer’s cosmic
creation using sexual magic, and it narrates through song the emergence of the diverse forms of the Garden.
The history also includes sky voyages, in addition bawdy farces and explanations of the workings of the
Garden. We Fernalians love to create songs, and when we (give them) voice, the Fernal Garden sacredly
becomes responsive.

:: INFERNAL :: NIAFERTZON ::
There can be no day without night, no Fernal Garden without an Infernal world. In Fernal mythology, the
Infernal world was the twisted creation of Tzihuia the Sky Trickster, whose angry antics are considered good
fernal sources for jokes and jest. Of course Fernalians also understand how necessary the infernal world is
and how all Fernalians once walked through the labyrinth of confusion before arriving Home to the Garden.
To lend contrast to these two sides of the coin, this chapter gives a vitrine into the Infernal worlds full with its
wars and violence, hate and greed.

Tzihuia, who gets up to major antics, and these are thought as good fernal sources for comedy songs.
Naturally, we Fernalians understand that the infernal world is necessary, (and) that before arriving in the
Garden, we all walked for a long time through the confusing labyrinth. This chapter (makes) that strange
other world appear, so that we can gain deep understanding, and (so that it) we (can) support those (infernal
beings).

:: JUBILEE :: TXOBILE ::
Fernalians love a good party or a carnival and there are many things to celebrate in the Garden. Jubilees are
created to honor special dates, accomplishments and historical events. Jubilees are always festive and
celebratory. Music, dancing, costumes, floats, mime, acrobats and much more make up the festive nature of
these special days.

:: KRONOS (TIME) :: IFEI ::
Fernalians realize that there is only Here and Now and that Time is a construct created for the sake of
stories. They realize that if everything happened all at once there would be no narrative. If they knew all
possible beginnings and outcomes there would be no need for discovery, revelation and mystery. These
concepts are held dear to the Fernalians and thus they live in a world of cyclic time. Nevertheless there is a
time for everything including no time. Through dreams, rites and rituals they can access the heart of the
Goddess of time where the future and past reside. Understanding can be found Here

:: LANDSCAPE :: NUATERO ::
The Fernal Garden is a landscape of endless beauty. Every river, every mountain is a perfect evolving
manifestation of its original sacred dream. From the rugged snow-capped mountains to the oceanic depths,
to ethereal landscapes made from starlight, jewels and even body parts, each landscape shimmers with life
and magic. Evolved Fernalians can manifest additions to the landscape through magical incantation.

Literal Translation: The Garden of Fernal Delights is a landscape of eternal beauty. All rivers and all
mountains evolve and manifest in (their) fundamental sacred dream. If we travel the rugged icy mountains
and the ocean depths, if we travel the landscapes (which are) made from shining stars, (we can) see that all
places lifeshine using fernal magic (and) even jewels and bodies (shine). We evolving Fernalians can call
into being new landscapes through magical song.

:: MAGICAL OBJECTS :: BACTEROTZON ::
Everything is magic in the Garden but to enhance the quality of the inhabitants' supernatural powers, there
are a range of Fernal magical objects, both rare and common. Amulets, sacred books and pendants are
used to bring about different states of consciousness, manifest certain qualities and bring about
transformations in the self and the landscape.

Literal Translation: All makes magic in the Fernal Garden, but in order to enhance our shamanic readiness,
a range of fernal magical things are available that are both rare and common. In order to call into being
magic states of consciousness, we use amulets, sacred texts and body artforms, (which) manifest meditative
states (and) also bring about (the same manifesting in) landscapes and ourselves.

:: NYMPHS & SPIRITS :: O NUFAI ON FEIRTZE ::
Every tree and every river has a sacred spirit, and the beautiful wilds of the Garden are filled with animistic
consciousness. The sacred essence of each species holds the dream of that particular species in place and
calls it into being, recycling souls and generating new souls. The Spirits and Nymphs also protect, guide and
source the evolutionary nature of the given species. The council of Spirits and Nypmhs are responsible for
the balance of life, making sure that each species receives as much as it gives and that all given is a
necessary and joyful part of the entire tapestry.

Literal Translation: All trees and all rivers ‘ride’ a sacred essence, and they express identities of animistic
consciousness of the fernally delightful wild forests. The sacred essence of all species calls species into
being and dreams their identities, and recycles their souls, and creates souls. These spirits and nymphs help
and become mentors and evolutionarily originate all species. In addition, the Councils of Nymphs and
Teacher Plants maintain life, and ensure that the species’ gifts and things held for the future are equal, (and
that) the necessary and joyful grand tapestry of life lives according to its nature.

:: OCCUPATIONS :: DAEMARCON ::
Fernalians delight in work that cherishes, envisions and maintains their environment and enhances their
lives. There is no money in the Garden and the land and the resources are common property to all. Only
homes are private. The village council is made of all concerned enough to participate and is not considered
an occupation. Because there is no finance and military, there is only the most delightful occupatons: Artists,
writers, musicians, architects, caretakers of the land, teachers, healers, and guardians are just some of the
occupations which keep the Fernal folk occupied in creativity, healthy living and fantastic magic.

Literal Translation: We Fernalians delight in work (that is for) the purpose of maintaining the world’s dream

There are village councils that are arrayed (of) caring people but (this) is not thought (like) an occupation.
That said, certain occupations we call upon are all delightful – artist, writer, musician, architect, gardener,
teacher, healer, guardian. These are the ways we keep occupied in work, using creativity, wellness and
magic.

:: PORTALS :: DERU ::
Fernal portals are many and varied: they are used to get in and out of the Garden or from one part of the
Garden to another. Physical gateways, enchanted works of art and certain mythical tales can open up
pathways into other worlds. Animals and plants can create portals through their activities and growth, as can
rituals and ceremonies. Portals are crucial to bend time and space so that travel to other universes can
enrich the Fernal experience.

:: RITES & RITUALS :: DARTZERON ::
The Garden is full of rites, rituals and ceremonies of a colourful, fantastic and magical nature. Sacred
marriages, ascendancy into new levels of existence, ceremonies of planting and harvest, all work to maintain
the Garden and bring about beauty and balance. Rituals can twist time and space, and performing sacred
ceremonies can fuse one with the pure consciousness of the particular deity called on.

Literal Translation: The Fernal garden is filled with myth and magical (colour) transformation. In order to
bring about perfection and beauty, preserving nature of the garden (is done), so that diverse rituals – sacred
marriages, ceremonies for sourcing new worlds, planting ceremonies, harvests – (happen). They can bend
time and space, and if we hold a ceremony, it can fuse all of us with invited god consciousness.

:: SPECIES :: BIHON ::
The amount of different species in the Garden is almost limitless. The Fernal folk have the capacity to
manifest themselves into any form they desire, delighting in transforming into different species or bearing
certain animal features. Nonetheless certain species have become common and concrete in the Garden,
each one with qualities and gifts that are unique to the sacred dreaming.

Literal Translation: In the Garden, there are myriad manifest different species. We Fernalians ride the
ability to transform, (such) that if we want to change something, we can bring it about, (such) that we swap
into different species or we become (any) lifeform. That said, in the Garden, certain animals have become
common and have become concrete, who all ride gifts of the unique sacred dream.

:: TRANSFORMATION :: IBAC ::
Whether moving into death or back into life, or from one form into another, transformation is a vital and
necessary activity in the Garden. Rites, rituals and magic can elicit self-alterations, but the magic of the
Garden is so powerful that a simple desire or a steady meditation can cause wondrous transformations, as
can spontaneous visions which once seen are made real.

(from) which sudden dreams can be seen and (made) physical.

:: VEHICLES :: MARCALETZON ::
The Fernalians are ever-inventive in their methods of locomotion, delighting in living ships, trains and flying
machines. None of the vehicles in the Garden depend on fuel. Vehicles are conscious and are ‘operated’
through communication. Vehicles are equipped with great geographical knowledge and navigational skill.
Winged creatures and hybrid beings are choice vehicles for the more romantic Fernalians. For those not in
an adventurous mood or simply wanting instant gratification, teleportation is also a mode of transport.

:: WORDS & LANGUAGE ::
And then there is Fernalese, the language of the Fernalians. This playful language is aesthetically beautiful,
lilting and full with magical intent. The Fernal folk delight in wordplay and expressions of colour, quality and
poetry, and the Garden is so varied and egalitarian that phrases of comparison and rank are impossible in
the language. Fernalese is not just spoken by the people: trees can sing Fernal songs and animals respond
to the spoken word with joy. This is a visionary language of Fernal Creation.
