Valentin Winter
Based on some actual experiences
- When a stranger comes to your apartment door on May day morning asking to borrow some butter or milk, don’t lend any…all your luck will go with it. Never give any stranger a light for their cigarette on May day either - giving out fire is giving away your luck as well.
- When you are walking at night and you hear music, no matter how beautiful, or voices inviting you to join them don’t acknowledge that you can hear them and turn back towards home.
- When you are out walking at night and you hear the sound of horses or hounds or riders find shelter indoors or in your car quickly. The Wild Hunt (we call them Ghost Riders in America) is mercurial and if it’s the Slua Sí passing by they will do you harm if they can.
- Never run from the Fair Folk, if you see Fairy hounds or anything uncanny that frightens you. Running is what prey does and you do not want to be prey. Don’t acknowledge seeing them, if possible, but leave as quickly as you can.
- If you are being pixy-led, if you have lost your way in familiar territory, turn your socks or coat outside in or laugh and joke about how much fun you are having. this will free you from the enchantment.
- Never speak ill of the Good Neighbours aloud, nor express disbelief in them. They take insults badly and if they happen to be nearby and hear you they may respond. You will not enjoy their reaction.
there’s so much from @not-poignant ‘s stories that I’d love to make fanart for (especially from the Ice Plague!) but I’ve had literally no energy to draw much of anything for like a year so a simple Augus it is :’D
this is a redraw of my first (?) Augus drawing from 2015 (?) that is under the cut

“I want to have the heart and mind of a queen,” she whispered. “I want it more than anything. But I’m only pretending. I can’t find the feeling of it inside me.”
- Kristin Cashore, Bitterblue
As Queens in this world I believe it’s so important to support and look out for each other. It’s this love and respect that I have for the feminine divine that I channel in all my work. The strength and beauty of the female spirit inspires me to create and play in a wonderland of stories championing strong, passionate characters. I would love to know, what inspires you to create?

“the void is so kind … we are all just yelling at her n she just sits n listens …” ~bepeu
I like to think that no matter what, the Void is a kind and gentle soul who only wants to help those who come to her. She listens to everything you have to say, and knows that sometimes… that’s just all you need. ~me
Meet Void, the ever-lasting mother. She wants nothing but happiness for you, even if it means you have to yell and scream to feel better.

The Queens have arrived. Negotiations may now begin.
Been meaning to draw the Unseelie Queens again. A fanart contest seems to have provided the proper motivation.
~ A Steel Sapling ~ Archfey of Blomstone
~ Sperehund of the Harvest Moon | King of Fog and Dusk ~ Archfey of Autumn and Madness ~
Adage: “Only the impossible is real.”
King Sperehund once ruled the Unseelie Court with his wife, Mab the Winter Queen. One day, Mab stole his crown and banished him to the Palace of the Moon, where all things are but a reflection of their true nature. The true reason for Mab’s coup is cloaked in mystery and has spawned many tales, ranging from the tragic to the comedic. A popular legend is that she meant to punish his infidelity. Sperehund now pervades autumn nights as a spirit of restless torment and discord, while Mab siphons away his power over the season.
Part of my Archfey series for my homebrew D&D setting, A Steel Sapling.

Makeup test for a dark fairy themed party I went to back in October. My eyebrows have never looked as good as they did that day.

The Seven Sights / Perseptenary Path
This path incorporates that of Celtic roots and traditions, as well as modern traditions. We celebrate seven major sabbats by the Celtic year, seven sacred trees, seven perceivable realms/sights, & seven great Fae. We work with the earth, planets and the stars. & as for magical practices: Folk magic, traditional witchcraft, Faeid, & hedge witchery are the foundation for this path, while it’s structure is footed in wicca, with the emphasis on the natural order of the world, the seasons, the moon phases, the elements, & the emphasis on the masculine and feminine energies.

The Lost Queen is she who directs and chooses the fate of wayward spirits, Fae, and souls alike, & watches over those who choose to stay between realms like herself, she overlooks the souls of our realm. She is also associated with war, and strength, often seen to give confidence to those fighting, and looking after their fate.
( The lost queen is one in which I work with a lot, she’s one of my favourites.)
