31.10.2025 18:46 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Grandma Clara was sitting in her favourite armchair - the weather was dreadful but the fire delightful, her little bee wax candle was slowly dimming - just a few more drops of wax actually. Could there be a better day? Her favourite book was reread up til the final page she had left for the later evening right before sleep. Her favourite tea was sipped until the last drop- she had left for later, too. She had eaten an orange - she had embroidered her favourite handkerchiefs - she had phoned her daughter. Her granddaughter had sent her a lovely little drawing of three black kittens in a basket. It was on her fridge now. She had watered the plants, she had sweeper the path. A feeling of accomplishment had gotten hold of her. Oh no - someone was missing - but no- relief, there he was, licking her palm, sweet Bouncy, her beloved dog. Her daughter had named him thus. She felt his warmth and feel asleep early. The page, the sip, not forgotten but to be cherished later. With a little fright she stood up. Bouncy - he had left her ten years earlier - his remains deep in the heart of her garden. He looked deep into her eyes, wagging his tail. Ah, now she understood. She also chuckled. Samhain Eve, the perfect date to leave and take a glimpse of her loved ones once a year. She followed Bouncy, both running like in their youth.

We buried him in the yard; I put a cement block on his grave. This photo (I believe) shows his spirit visiting us as an orb.

Illustration by Abigail Larson for "The Horror Tarot" depicting a seance scene in tones of red. Hands rest on a planchette hovering over a Ouija board. There's a red curtain backdrop, and a vintage brass lamp with a red glass shade lights the scene. Small candles and a red glass water pitcher and goblet are arranged on the table.

Black tourmaline being the one I mostly use - the German local name for it is SchΓΆrl- but recently I added obsidian with a golden sheenβ¦. Very different, yes.
