A ruined church in the Czech village of Luková holds life-sized ghosts made of gauze and plaster. Created by an artist, they sit in pews as if in eternal prayer. The living come to worship among the dead. #31DaysofHalloween #31DaysofHaunting

The Lammas and Harvest Fairs were once the social heart of the countryside. Pipers played, apples were pressed, and livestock changed hands. Beneath the trade was gratitude; a farewell to summer’s plenty. #FolkyFriday

To be fair, Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo, does sound like a pair of cold case detectives who accidentally run into each other at an AA meeting in a church basement.

I finished and signed The Beatles. I just have to varnish them, then package them up for shipping to @quirkyfox.bsky.social gallery in N.Z.

Details on this quadriptych, and the exhibition in which it will appear, to follow in due course.

Re-posts appreciated!

There is a tree in Nashville that I'm pretty sure was pulled up into a tornado when it was a sapling, but it had strong roots and it survived. I visit it every time I'm at Centennial Park. When I first moved here, it was barely taller than me, and now it's an adult!

Madeline Miller’s Circe reframes Homer’s enchantress not as a side character but as heroine. A witch among gods, she bends fate and finds power in exile. Myth rewritten for the modern age. #MythologyMonday

Edith Hamilton’s Mythology remains a doorway text for many readers. With retellings of Greek, Roman, and Norse tales, it shaped how generations first met gods and heroes in English. #MythologyMonday
