“He walks in the mud, moves aside the reeds
No clapping of wings, no motions around
Just the singing wind in an ominous silence
I’ll take you down there”
(Bigod 20, “The Bog”)

Doll Wunderkammer
A miniature wunderkammer for my wicked doll Thornapple. Featuring small curiosities I found in nature or grew in my garden. A new addition to her portable fold-out wardrobe.

Numen Arts
“We are artists and artisans; seers and diviners; priests; hermits; devout; spirit-led. We are the inheritors of a tradition more ancient than history, a tradition as old as ritual itself.”
Visit Dver on Numen Arts, a group for polytheist artists.

Dark Pools
When I finally tire of this life
I will lay myself down in the bog
And my breath will escape in a sigh
Indistinguishable from the fog
