And some more spiral art as seen on the stone in front of the entrance to Newgrange (Sí an Bhrú), a passage tomb from c. 3100 BCE.

Oh dear... someone else has kicked *the bucket* on this #WrydWednesday (where proof-readers go to die too, obviously!)
A geometry that should not exist cradles an eye that sees too much. This piece grew from the question: what dreams beneath the skin of symmetry? Organic dread and impossible form converge in a fevered stillness.

Corn dollying 🌾 is a quaint craft today, yet in remote villages, straw poppets are believed to bind corn spirits. Traditionally crafted, these figures force the harvest’s soul into scarecrows that roam the fields, protecting the land and ensuring future bounty 🌕🕯️ #CornDollFolklore

Mater Grace was a healer and a magic user, they said she had no need of charms or spells for the magic flowed through her blood. A scīn-lǣce in the old tongue
She walked the crooked path & worked her craft freely. Then one day she was gone, never to be seen again. #WrydWednesday #WitchyWednwsday
A drawing of three people battling the Devil's imps
When it is the Devil's night,
Do not open the door,
Who knows who you might let in,
His imps or maybe more?
So close your window shutters tight,
Pray God your soul to keep,
Hope that you are secure in bed,
But the wise folk will not sleep.

'It moved in the shadow of the hedge, silently and furtively, a dark crouching figure, dimly visible against the black background. Out of the darkness he had a glimpse of a scraggy neck and of two eyes that will ever haunt him in his dreams.'
