The Hut on Hen's Legs has entered the clearing! "House" for Baba Yaga's Lenormand. #witchsky #tarotsky #lenormand #babayaga #slavic #fairytales #folklore #mythology #pagansky #occultsky #esotericsky
Baba Yaga's hut on hen's legs stalks into a sunny forest clearing with morel and fly agaric mushrooms, trees in front of and behind it; it prods at a skull on the ground whilst a rooster shouts up at it. Perhaps they are going to play soccer with the skull... A frieze across the base of the hut shows three women dancing, in Slavic woodcarving style.

Pencil drawing of Baba Yaga's Hut on Chicken Legs in a clearing in the forest, possibly having a game of kickaround football with a normal sized rooster and a human skull for a ball. Fly agaric and morel mushrooms in the foreground.

Card 1, The Rider, for Baba Yaga's Lenormand complete! Might use this as a Yule Card this year - after all, she IS a Babushka! Even if the main gift she brings children is, er, Motivation... #witchsky #slavic #mythology #fairytale #tarotsky #lenormand #pagansky #occultsky #esotericsky #babayaga
Baba Yaga, dressed in brightly coloured flower patterned blouse, skirt and headscarf, with one boney leg, a pestle in one hand and a broom in the other, flies laughing in a carved wooden mortar over a wooded landscape with a winding road disappearing into the trees. Lightning flashes in the purple sky above the mountains behind her.

A little colour for Baba! Baba Yaga's Lenormand, Card 1, The Rider. #witchsky #pagansky #occultsky #tarotsky #Lenormand #Slavicmythology #Slavicfairytales
Baba Yaga in brightly coloured floral blouse, skirt and headscarf is riding a carved wooden mortar through the air, laughing, with the pestle in one hand and a broom in the other. She has one skeleton leg, and birch bark shoes. Her clothes are in different shades of blue with multi coloured flowers. The landscape behind her is drawn in pencil, ready to be painted later.

The Hanged Man is apparently "Adult Content", so here's the 8 of Wands, AKA "Stupid Tent", by itself for all you children out there! 🤣 The New Unauthorised Tarot, Pt 2 of The Marginal Lenormand, pre-orderable on Amazon etc. #witchsky #pagansky #occultsky #medieval #medievalists #tarotsky #historysky
A group of medieval knights in chainmail, helmets and red and blue tabards are attempting to put up a tent, rather inexpertly and getting their green wooden tent-poles tangled up. The image draws on the Rider Waite Smith Tarot card 8 of Wands, which many think looks like a group of campers trying to put up a tent, rather inexpertly... and has become part of a meme, "Stupid Tent!"

Happy Autumn Equinox, all! Click the link to hear a seasonal song that pairs nicely with this picture. And keep on making that Cider for the Old Dance! #pagansky #witchsky #medievalsky #medievalists #tarotsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVqf...
Two lines of dancers, all in brightly coloured clothing, some dressed as jesters and acrobats, one being hit on the head with a wooden bat for playing the fiddle rather badly, and some in animal masks - one also wearing a Bishop's mitre - flank an alarmed swordsman in the centre of the picture who is being attacked by a unicorn whilst an amused pantomime horse looks on.

The New Unauthorised Tarot - the King of Coins, Pentacles or Deniers! He's inspired by the well-known story of King Midas - I'm sure we've all wondered about this aspect of the poor King's sad condition... 😂 #tarotsky #medievalsky #medievalists #witchsky #historysky #pagansky #esotericsky #occultsky
Tarot King of Coins, Pentacles or Deniers in the style of Medieval Marginalia. A gold-crowned Medieval King in red and blue robes crouches above a chamber pot, his eyes crossed and toes curling with effort! Large gold coins fall into the pot from under his robe. He is surrounded by colourful medieval illumination-style borders and foliage.

The New Unauthorised Tarot grows... here's the 10 of Swords, and today's advice is - always make sure the spikes are pointing AWAY from you, and don't keep all your King Eggs in one basket! #medievalsky #medievalists #historysky #witchsky #tarotsky #esotericsky #pagansky #occultsky
