I've searched the forum and found several excellent tutorials on glowing objects.  However, there's this one tutorial that I saw awhile ago about this same topic that I am really trying desperately to find it. 

The tutorial is from another site, the scene features a fantasy setting with a female wizard as a character with her holding a globe on her hand which is glowing and illuminating the surfaces around it.  From what I can remember, I don't think the glowing is done by any nodes, but rather with the light that's placed inside the globe (I maybe wrong here though). 

The reason why I am specifically looking for this tutorial is, besides the effect, I really liked the lighting used in the tutorial and wish to create a similar scene.  I would really appreciate it if someone can direct me to the site if anyone know this kind of tutorial.

Thanks in advance.
