Here's a rough idea of what my Saturnalia sale will look like. These will not make it in time for the 24th, so if you're happy with waiting then this is for you! I hope you guys are enjoying the winter sale as well!! It's strange to do a sale in a sale but alas!

Keep it decadent this Saturnalia with the owls!

Mari Lwyd - Tarot Style

Working on some holiday pieces for an in-person event and here’s the first one! Mari Lwyd in tarot style! 🥰🥰 With of course a person ready for a battle of words, Mari Lwyd wins they get to come in and raid the fridge, if they lose they!, move on to the next house for another battle!

This will be available for print at the in-person event and if I have any left, they’ll also be in my shop!

This is a from South Wales and now one really knows where it comes from but it’s something they still do around this time for year and has been popularized in pop culture as of late. Especially with pagan religions picking up in popularity again, but again, no one really knows where this tradition has its origins. Personally, I just adore Mari Lwyd and their look and overall the idea of, basically, a rap battle with a horse skull. 🤣🤣

NOTE: I’m not done with Mari, she needs some bells on her but I need a break. This is just linework so far. 🥰 I also feel like she needs more flowers. 🤔

He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake.

Outside of the heartwarming Christmas tales we all know and love, there are an abundance of frightening stories to chill all who hear them to the bone. Discover folklore from all corners of the world, including:

Krampus (Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and northern Italy), a demonic half-goat monster who drags chains and whips bad children with birch sticks, or stuffs them in his sack to take away

The Kallikantzari (Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Turkey), goblins who come out during Advent to cause mischief

Père Fouettard (France, Belgium, Switzerland), Saint Nicholas’ eternal cannibal manservant who deals with naughty children

Hans Trapp (Alsace-Lorraine, France), who roams the countryside disguised as a scarecrow and goes door to door on Christmas looking for children to feast upon

Gryla (Iceland), the giant ogre who emerges from her cave on Christmas to hunt children and cook them into stew

Mari Lwyd (Wales), a creature with a horse’s skull and a long cloak that is followed by a group of chanting people

Frau Perchta (Austria and Bavaria), who slits the bellies of bad children and stuffs them with straw

Yes I need a little Christmas but specifically classical gothic Christmas. Bloody pomegranates and crushed cranberries and citrus garlands woven with black velvet ribbon. Crackling fires casting frightening shadows on the faces of children whispering ghost stories. Snowfall that creeps in like a thief and blankets the world in hush. The mournful cry of a nightbird cutting through a winter gale battering against tightly-latched hatches. Mulled spirits fueling tight circles of gossip in the wee hours. Candles left flickering for the wandering dead. Old, strange magic, dripping through one's fingers like hot wax.
