The Old Man of the Woods
Past the wall of gray stones, through the trees,
In a house made of spells, full of books,
With a light in his eye and his mind,
There he waits – the Old Man of the Woods.

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
