Last Inktober piece

 

 

On Samhain he stepped into the woods to visit the tall cup fungi. 

Low and behold, a tiny fairy was there, tossing spores into the air.
 

 

 

 

It was fun to let Inktober inspire art.

I hope I am in a rhythm now and will continue creating.

Soul Witch

 

The broom flew all over the universe in search of it's soul witch. 

For a broom without a witch is a sad thing indeed. 

Perhaps you know a witch who has not found it's soul broom?

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
Happy Samhain!
(it truly does feel like the beginning of the cold, frozen time of 
year. )

I feel drawn to consider and send prayers to those have passed before

loved ones and those I had not met

I send you love on your journey

may it be of grace

I miss you

Blessings of Samhain to You

though autumn filled her days
and nights
she became a nest of new life for Samhain

a bit of information about Samhain:

*this year it is celebrated from  

sunset on October 31 to sunset on November 1, almost halfway between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice.

*It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh.

*It's considered a liminal time, when the veil between life and death grows thin. 

*Samhain is pronounced "sah-win" or "sow-in."

*it is one of the original festivals behind the holiday we know as Halloween

*As it was believed that faeries, witches, and demons roamed the earth on Samhain, food and drink were customarily set out to placate them. Later on, people began dressing up as these creatures and claiming the goodies for themselves, sometimes performing antics or tricks in exchange for food and drink.

Celebrating Samhain ~ Summer's End

born with a heart of knowing
remained due to upbringing
between
owls hoots and wolves singing
wisdom of bears and birds tweeting
call of the wind and water flowing
witch full of natures knowing
veils between seen and unseen now thinning
wisdom available reminds of hearts knowing
tis the season of internal remembering
~

Wishing you a wonderful Halloween

and Samhain Celebration!

it is shades of gold, but I could not show this on the scan, oh well.
