Witch House - Black and white ink illustration on textured paper of a witch’s house surrounded by swirling magical orbits. A Victorian revival house with a large central spire and wrap around porch is in front of a black ink cloud. The base of the house has a small fence near it and small shrubs. The porch wraps around the entire house and the railing has delicate filigree all throughout. Behind is a black door with small stained glass windows. The second story is a large overhang roof with part of the large central spire and a square back for the rear of the house. The third story tower as a wrap around balcony at the top with a railing with filigree details and rounded archways. Around it are celestial orbits. Birth of Cosmos - Black and white illustration depicting the birth of the primordial god Phanes. There is a large arch with a celestial star sprinkled cloud of the cosmos moving from top left to bottom right. Inside the line of the arch are radial lines and the symbols for the zodiac. In the middle is a large amphora with a black snake winding around it and an egg above it it with rays coming off it. Surrounding the Greek amphora are large 8 point stars and vining cosmos flowers. Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival. Black and white illustration representing Persephone during the autumn equinox. A frame surrounds the whole thing split in half in black and white. The middle horizontal section is torn in half like a piece of paper representing the division between the above and the underworld. In the bottom right corner are wispy swirling smoke lines going towards the centre with 3 bats flying from right to left. In the bottom left is the symbol for Persephone. In the middle are two pomegranates one whole and one cut in half. In the top half on a black background is a bee in reference to Persephone’s name as “honeyed one” on a circular medallion with narcissus flowers dropping petals around it. In the top left is the Greek word for Persephone

Happy Friday the 13th 👻

Black and white ink illustration of a church surrounded by ominous lightning and dark clouds. A small steeple church with steps leading up to a white door is in front of a large black cloud with glowing lightning cutting through. On either side are fluffy bushes with small white flowers. Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes. Swatch card for the fossil colour - way in dark moody purple and grey fawn brown for the Cicada Repeat Pattern for author Carter Keane. Pattern features cicada life cycle stages, animal bones regional Ohio folk art fabric references and symbols from the story. Created for the release of the horror novel “Morsel”. Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars.

"engagement is low on Bsky" for the millionth time.

Then engage. SHARE posts. TALK to people. Do literally ANYTHING but "Like and Go".

Bsky is not dead, it's just free of Algorithms and that means YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING if you want engagement!
