Samhain: You're so wonderful. You're so sweet to me.

me: J'ACCUSE!

Samhain: What.

me: J'ACCUSE!

Samhain: I don't understand what I am being accused of.

me: you're saying nice things about me

Samhain: Yes...?

me (narrows eyes): you're in the pocket of big amabel

though honestly, I was handling the front half of that month-plus drought alright

the difference is I had Samhain with me. I am missing her so much. I'm eager to get back to the rhythm of our days together.

Samhain (Hallowe’en, pronounced “Sow-an") is named after Sam Hain.

I found this great holly tree, and I might finally be ready to enter the holly gate of Solstice/Yule. Samhain stuck around for me a long time this year.
Holly is protective and was often included in gifts during the Roman festival of Saturnalia. #Witchcraft #WitchSky #Witchywalk

I'm DYINNNGGGG. We had a video featuring another black cat on the TV. Samhain was VERY interested. He eventually ran up to the TV just as it ended. When he saw the cat was gone he let out a MEOW of complaint and left the living room.

Today's #FolkloreSunday theme is "MYSTERIES & CONTRASTS OF THE DARK HALF OF THE YEAR!" 🖤

One of the big ones has to be traditions of managing the passage of the dead into the hereafter in Winter.

Halloween/Samhain, Saturnalia, Winter Solstice, New Years, etc.

May old remembrance be forgot...

A single image post from a woodland that holds a special hush; Ariundle ancient oak woods, Strontian, Sunart. #ThickTrunkTuesday

#Photography #Woodland #Trees #Nature #Ancient #Hush #TreeLife #Ariundle #Ent #GhillieDhu #Mood #Forest #Uruisg #AosSidh #Tuesday
Ariundle Hush The hush in Ariundle is not silence but a held breath….. a pause braided through birch and oak, where light drips like honey onto moss. Water moves in sentences too soft for speech, threading silver clauses between stones. Ferns lean inward as if listening, and the air carries a grammar of green: vowels of leaf, consonants of bark. Here, time loosens its grip. The forest does not hurry; it folds you into its syntax, teaches you to read the margins of shadow. Every step is a syllable, every glance a line break. And when the wind turns the page, you understand: the hush is not absence, but presence written in the oldest ink. ____________________________________________________ Some Gaelic woodland lore: Birch – Beith (Gaelic for birch) • Symbolic of purification and rebirth; birch twigs were used at Samhain to cleanse and ward off spirits. • Guardian of the home: its protection extended to threshold and spirit of place. Oak – Cù-na-dair (“oak-guardian”) • Home to Oak-men; protective, sometimes mischievous beings who could appear human or offer enchanted food. • Guardians of wildlife and forest; deeply connected to wisdom and rooted strength. Scots Pine – Giùlan-na-coille (“wood-spine” or pine spirit) • Everlasting and wise; aged “Granny Pines” were named as landmarks and symbols of continuity. Woodland Fairies – Na daoine sìthe (“the fairy folk”) • Gaelic fairies are human-size, powerful beings; part of a vast Otherworld ecosystem, including tree sprites and guardians. • Among them: Lesidhe; woodland tricksters who might lead you astray if you disrespect their realm.

Around Samhain, Án Morrigan came to me via my Ancestors and requested a Task. Normally I give Her dark chocolate, red wine, & ask She go away & not hurt me. 😂

This was different. The requested Task fits within my wheelhouse.

*noises of contemplation*

Tonight I accepted.

It’s more a Samhain (Hallowe’en) story tbh, light v dark, other-worldly powers that battle amongst us mere mortals.

Thanks for hosting this artshare, Feymien. Appreciate it.

I'm a freelance artist who's semi-retired due to disability. Most of my work's digital and leans towards darker themes, though not exclusively on both parts.

My portfolio and store are at decwrk.com.
Pyres of Samhain. 2006. Digital mixed medium. A lone abandoned two story stone farmhouse in the woods on an Autumn night. The moon looms large in an overcast sky. Clouds are illuminated by unseen fires. Pickman's Model. 2006. Digital mixed medium. View looking up an old and dilapidated stairwell at a plaster wall with a small access door in it that's slightly opened. A hairless little creature with glowing yellow eyes is peering out from it. The Godeaters. 2025. Digital mixed medium. Six shadowy human figures are standing in a red mist in a barren field. The closest center two have glowing red eyes. A moon can be seen in the sky. Black Mass. 2025. Digital mixed medium. A human figure facing forward wearing a hooded black robe. It has a ghostly skull-like face and bloodshot eyes. The moon is positioned behind its head and is shades of orange.

YES. Samhain = Halloween. Both are huuuge holidays historically pre-Christianity. So the Christians were like well fuck they’re not gonna drop celebrating it so we might as well make one of them jesus’s bday. Also the opposite of Halloween is Bealtaine / Beltane / May Day which is Someone’s bday.

Additional things I researched but didn’t mention:

• The pumpkin is not in Halloween episodes of Flintstones, Jetsons, or other HB shows I skimmed through. There’s a chance I may have missed it tho!

• It’s not Samhain from The Real Ghostbusters!! I get the resemblance but the face is all wrong!
