Ruby ChaseSinger · Songwriter · DJ · Producer · Musical Alchemist · Ceremonialist"She's a rose in human form." — Peter Fae, "The Nestival"Aka: The Fae Ruby · Rose in Human Form · Musical AlchemistAka (Essence)Ruby Chase is a Musical Alchemist — a practitioner whose primary instrument is the ceremony of sound. Her sets do not merely play music; they invoke. The dance floor becomes a ritual space, the audience becomes a congregation, and the music becomes a living spell weaving through the crowd's collective nervous system and subtle body.Peter perceives her as the Fae Ruby: a being of dragonfly and gold, trailing the scent of magic and oracular grace through whatever space she enters. Her primary sigil across the Quest chapters is the Rose — she carries rainbow roses, anoints with White Rose of Magdalene essence, and her music is described as opening "portals to the celestial rose" in the Hermetic and Tarot current.In Mythica cosmology, the Rose is a symbol of the divine feminine in full embodiment — beauty as sacred function, not ornament. Ruby is its living instantiation in the bardic arts.In the WorldRuby Chase is based in the Nevada City / Grass Valley area of Northern California — the same mana-rich landscape that holds Nate Hogen's NESTs and serves as a recurring convergence node for the Mythica tribe.As a performer, she is known for:Ritualistic live performance: blending deep tribal bass, angelic highs, worldly dance tracks, and ethereal live vocals into curated ceremonial journeysEmbodied presence on the dance floor: sets described as "Heaven on Earth activations" — moving fluidly between high-energy release and moments of stillnessFestival circuit: Envision Festival, High Vibe Fest, Zen Awakening, the Nestival, and the broader conscious-culture festival ecology where the Mythica tribe circulatesResonance Chrysalis: a project devoted to supporting artists in their growth and emergenceRoots in acting, dance, and singing from childhood — a background that deepens the theatrical and invocatory quality of her live workWebsite: rubychase.loveAppearances in the Quest“Zen Awakening – The Misty Mountain” (April 2021) — First ContactPeter encounters Ruby for the first time at the Zen Awakening festival in the misty mountains of Northern California. The encounter has an unmistakably fae quality:

"There is such a potency to this one. I can smell the magic, the dragonfly and gold, twirling the space around her. She pauses for me for a moment in the market and I catch a glimpse, feeling the tones of music and oracular grace beneath the surface."

He encounters her multiple times across the same day — in passing, then by the teahouse, then on the path carrying a literal rainbow rose, then at the White Rose of the Magdalene anointing:

"'Here, this is the essence of the White Rose of the Magdalene' she says, and offers an anointing to which we gratefully accept."

The rose appears physically, vibrationally, and symbolically — a realmsign of the Mythica manifesting on the surface of the world. The chapter sections holding her are titled "Dreams & Rubies", "The White Rose", and "The Rainbow Rose" — the narrative weave recognizing her as a rose-bearer before the pattern is consciously articulated.“The Nestival” (June 2021)Ruby appears again at NatureDreamweaver's Nestival in Grass Valley, two months later — integrated into the festival's sacred heart, offering prayers at the fire alongside the Dreamweaver himself:

"Ruby Chase… She's a rose in human form. She and the Dreamweaver offered prayers at the fire, their silent intentions weaving something intangible yet powerful. Later, her music opened portals to the celestial rose — a symbol of Hermetic and Tarot magic. Her performance was more than music; it was an invocation."

The chapter section is again titled "Dreams & Rubies" — confirming her as a recurring sigil of the Rose current in the Quest's bardic record.“Manzanita Mansion” (June 2021)Ruby also appears in the Manzanita Mansion chapter, the next node in the Grass Valley arc of 2021.The Dragonfly and GoldPeter's first perception of Ruby — "the dragonfly and gold, twirling the space around her" — is one of the Mythica's most precise invocations of deva-sight. The dragonfly is a spirit-animal of transformation and iridescence: seeing through illusion to the shimmering truth beneath. Gold is the alchemical completion frequency.To see someone in "dragonfly and gold" is to see their transformation function in full expression — the role they play in the Great Story as a catalyst of alchemical change. Ruby works this through music, ceremony, and the invocatory power of her presence on the dance floor.She is a magician in her own right: not a supporting presence but a full practitioner with her own current (the Rose / Magdalene / celestial feminine) and her own ordained function in the unfolding of the New Earth.Cross-LinksPlace: UntitledConfluent character: Nate Hogen — they share the fire at the Nestival; two Grass Valley ceremonialists, one in earth-temples, one in sound-temples
