Mirror, Mirror,Do as i say! Turn the beastie back away! Send it back from whence it did come... Send it back.. and harm it none. So mote it be...

Sometimes we take on more than we can manage.....sometimes...

I wish you a blessed and bountiful Mabon. I hope that your season of harvest is abundant and that the upcoming season of change brings you bright blessings. ...

 

Mabon( Autumnal Equinox) is considered a time of the Mysteries. It is a time to honor
Aging Deities and the Spirit World. Considered a time of balance, it
is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our personal
harvests, whether they be from toiling in our gardens, working at our
jobs, raising our families, or just coping with the hussle-bussle of
everyday life. May your Mabon be memorable, and your hearts and
spirits be filled to overflowing!

celebrate the fruitful bounty,,,,

namaste,

Leanan

 

            

Gads.... I think the Hallows spirit is coming over me a bit prematurely.. I seem to be posting my darker pieces ...Like the previous Babes piece,I tried to use an arial viewpoint to create the illusion of " being found"...As if just coming across the subject by chance...

 Both are faerytale based.....another obsessive quality I have.. snicker..

                      Poor princess-to-be.......a quick snack...and into legend she goes....

 

This piece was based on a lullaby that has been passed down through my family for over 100 years..

                    Warning: Its sad and may be disturbing to some.

My dears you know, How a long time ago, Two poor little babes, Whose names I don't know, Were stolen away, On a bright summer's day, And left in the woods, As I've heard people say. And when it was night, So sad was their plight, The sun went down, And the moon gave no light. They sobbed and they sighed, And they bitterly cried. And the poor little babes, They laid down and died. And when they were dead, The robins so red, Brought strawberry leaves, And over them spread. And all the day long, They sang them this song. Poor babes, Poor babes, Poor babes in the woods..

 The lullaby is based on an old English  lullaby which grew out of the story of the Little Princes who were murdered in the Tower of London. The princes were Edward V and his brother Richard Duke of York, the sons of Edward IV and his Queen, Elizabeth Woodville. Their uncle, Richard of Gloucester, later Richard III, came after them in the succession.

Sir Thomas More in his History, was quite sure that these young boys were murdered by their uncle Richard of Gloucester and Shakespeare also portrayed Richard III as the evil murderous uncle.

 

So on that lovely note....
