mother Goethel, 2025

-{ #art | #illustration | #fantasy }-

An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower

Reading is Fhtagnmental

A woman with pale skin a greenish tint and green embellishment on her eyelids and lips. She has a short orange-ginger bob haircut and all she's apparently wearing is a heavy necklace chain suspending a large rough-cut green gem in a silvery metal setting. She's holding a heavy-looking leather and metal-bound tome open in one hand at chest height and seems to be pointing out a text with the finger of the other hand. Magical green letters of an unpronounceable language are floating up from the pages of the book, connected to each other and to the necklace gem by rough edged bubbles and umbilici. Her body below where it is occluded by the book shows the progress of the spell being invoked, as she transforms into a writhing mass of warped parts of hideous sea monsters: tentacles, teeth, spikes, claws, grasping mouths, and dead blue unblinking eyes. If you read this far you must agree with me that it is cool and gross.

In celebration of the recent Hunter’s Moon🌙

Cult of Diana Altar Prayer Card

Lunar goddess of the wildnerness,fertility & the hunt, Diana’s Ephesus temple is one of the 7 wonders & her cult is considered almost as old as Rome itself

Might make this a series of all the Orphic hymns

#art 🎨 #pagan

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

It's time for #Drawtober ! Here's my interpretation of 'Candlelit Messenger' 🕯️

#darkart #illustration #folklore

Painting of a giant raven emerging from the mist, claws raised above a candle held by a girl, standing alone in the meadow. The raven's eyes glow the same orange as the flame, a gathering of grey clouds parting to make way for a full moon.

Thank you so much! 🐇🖤

Belle 🦇 @gwenypatu.bsky.social · 4d

Thank you, I wish it was!! I'm obsessed with hares and their uncanny look 🐇 there was no particular influence though, just wanted to convey a sense of anxiety/restlessness
