Cernunnos, a dominant and powerful Celtic God, is k/as "Lord of Wild Things." Depicted as an antlered entity, the God is associated with fertility, the natural world, wealth and the underworld. Often portrayed holding torcs (neck rings) and a ram-horned serpent #LegendaryWednesday

“Talking Animals!”
as this week’s #WyrdWednesday topic.

I have always had a soft spot for Eleanor of Brittany. Captured as a teenager, she spent almost 40 years imprisoned in various castles in England. And all because she had a greater claim to the throne than King John and his son, Henry III.

'Reeds In Mist'
A quiet line of winter reeds emerges from soft fog, their warm tones gently reflected in still water. The surrounding space is calm and open, allowing the forms to fade gradually into mist. A successful morning making images.

Local legend says it's the hammer of a giant that broke when she tried to smash a limpet!
So it's known locally in Gaelic as 'Ord Bhairnich' - limpet hammer
