I’m not well familiar with Butler, but a regular on one of the gc-boards I frequented a few years ago tore her apart, citing lack of originality in most of her written work.

I had no clue she actually copy-&-pasted critical theory curriculum and presented it as her own deconstruction of kwyrnyss:

It gets colder, the days get shorter, sun rises later with every day. The sunlight is no longer harsh and intense.

Foggy mornings bring humid, earthy smells 🍂

A watercolor pencil drawing of a misty forest scene, with contrasting warm and cold color choices for the central focal point and the peripheral woodland space.

It's October!

The mornings are misty, the nights are cold, it can rain out of nowhere, and the trees turn yellow fast. My first #sketchbook piece of the month is here, as well.

✧ Happy October 1st! We're a month away from Samhain.

No new runic pieces from me until December, but I have some from 2024-25 that are autumn-inspired.

Digital painting of a rune Nauthiz, painted in the middle. In the background, a somber Autumn landscape with a dilapidated, weathered castle are seen in the distance. Digital painting of a rune Othala, in her inverted form. The rune is painted over a background, consisting of cold, unwelcoming, rainy autumn woods, with fragments of a dark river mass. The dark, dramatic skies are torn into by a lighting strike. It’s raining; the heavy, massive rain drops are most visible at the top of the painting. Digital painting of a rune Jera, posted here on a week ago. The painting signifies an annual crossover between warm and cold seasons, with more emphasis on the autumn stretch of the year, since it’s meant to represent autumn equinox. The background consists of a deciduous forest, going through stages of shedding; stray dry leaves are gliding in the air, following the wind’s motion through the image. Digital painting of a rune Berkana, in her inverted form. In the background, a sleeping autumn birch forest is painted under charcoal-grey, flat skies. The rare rays of light, touching on the foliage, turn it from dirty, earthy ochres into shining leafy formations of bright yellow color, but majority of the image is painted in tranquil, foggy, muted down colors.

A painting of two castles, set apart and separated by trees. The evening sky in the background, the glowing lights, and the touches of bright yellow amidst the green foliage are creating an inviting, cozy atmosphere of the first weeks of Autumn. A closer look at the double castle arrangement and a tree between two. A closer look at the far background of the painting.

It's just a Church, and it's on fire!!
Hotter than a fantasy,
Lonely like a sinner's way!

It's farting in a world and it's on fire,
Filled with sodomy,
But it knows it can burn sin away!

This church is on fire!

This church is on fire!

It's burning like fire!

If someone in the legal industry does/orders spellwork on the side and doesn't want this shit to the way of russia (where advertizing commercial esoterica has been prohibited as fraud for some time) those two might get in trouble later; might not.

I imagine one on the left is a typical 🇰🇷✝️ fanatic.

Merry Mabon to everyone following my art updates!

This is the 14th lore piece in my art series dedicated to Norse paganism.

Digital painting of a moody Autumn landscape, with symbol of futhark rune Jera suspended in the mid-air. The painting represents stages of seasonal transgression from green woods to frost-touched, bleak natural setting.

Second half of summer was so gross here I basically only had an aloe vera gel from the fridge going on the face, sometimes like 3x a day to cool down…

A new HA gel and a jojoba butter cream arrived on Monday and holy shit holy shit holy shit how dehydrated am I really if a nivea product does THIS?

I can't believe the gmo ppl are migrating out of here (I don't doubt they'll have their low-profile sock accounts sniffing around, stalking the JKR discourse to stay mad and have shit to talk about on there.)

Godspeed, dollz 😭

From 2024. I typically create a piece for the Virgo season, and this is last year's.

✧ #witchy #witchsky #occultsky #magic
A digital painting of a young female, wearing dark fantasy attire, standing on a balcony, in the late evening hours. The intense magenta sky behind her is broken down by creamy-colored cloud formation, while the city in the middle ground is covered in shadows. The attire and colors suggest late summer/early autumn part of the year. The image is a part of an ongoing series of nocturnal paintings, depicting women who are strongly connected to the night-time archetypes in mythology.

AR 4, 5 (for old users – those aren't sold anymore.)

They won't work on mobile apps.

#art #artsky #digitalart #painting #watercolor #promosky
An abstract painting of a rainy forest scene, created with ArtRage paint application using a combination of watercolor bushes, airbrushes and custom watercolor stencils, along with scanned paint splatter, over a fast digital pencil sketch. An embossed effect applied to the painting surface suggests a thick, heavy watercolor paper – but it's all digital, of course.

1st world-building piece in the Norse mythological art series I'm creating; I think it bridges summer and autumn seasons nicely.

✧ #heathensky #pagansky #witchsky #jotunheim
A digital painting, depicting a mythological location in Jotunheim; the symbolism, the light and colors and the landscape are referencing the direct translation of this places name, "glittering/shining planes." Everything in the painting softly shines under a cold, mighty and still Nordic sky.

Yeah lol thanks for your non-existent research – there're no proper double-blind studies for gendie medicine – and non-substantiated claims we all have been hearing since 2015. We get it bro you DON'T want to lose that t-роrn access and variety you're so used to, stop acting like it's about science or something.

✧ #humanart #noAI #originalart
A watercolor painting of a tree, growing on a rocky isolated fragment, elevated over a green field in the middle-ground that turns into a forest far in the back. The dark clouds and dark orange evening sky suggest the end of the summer season and an upcoming evening rain, while the bold greens of the trees and grass mean autumn has not really started yet in the place being depicted here.
