Continuing with Grimm's Kipper deck, card number 9, Change, is Cinderella. #tarotsky #witchsky #pagansky #fairytales #Grimms #kipperkarten #fairytale #cartomancy #occultsky
Pencil drawing of Cinderella in renaissance gown with patches and frayed hem, her hair in coiled braids, running away from the castle and the prince. She is wearing Venetian platform shoes of the period, one of which she has kicked off as she runs. To the left of her is a patch of pumpkins, to her right a rat.

A fox in a blue dress and headscarf walks through a forest at sunset carrying a basket filled with wild mushrooms and one chicken! She nimbly avoids a rope snare that has been set for her... Baba Yaga's chicken-legged hut stands in a sunny clearing surrounded by pine trees and wild fungi, apparently in conversation with a rooster over a human skull lying on the ground. Baba Yaga flies through the sky in her pestle and mortar, one bony leg hanging over the side. A road disappears into the trees far below her, and lightning flashes in a purple sky above the blue mountains in the distance.

Submissions are open for our Welsh folklore anthology, They Are Still Here: wizardstowerpress.co...
The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd). The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left. Art by Josh Arklin.

And here's Foxy! For Baba Yaga's Lenormand. #witchsky #tarotsky #lenormand #babayaga #slavic #fairytale #folklore #mythology #pagansky #esotericsky #occultsky #fortunetelling
A fox in a blue Sarafan dress, white blouse and"Babushka" headscarf trots on hind legs through a forest at sundown, surrounded by ferns on a stony track. She holds a basket over her arm, filled with wild mushrooms and one poorly-concealed chicken.In her other hand she holds a flowering sprig of Ramsons or Bear's Garlic up to her nose. To the right, at the bottom of the picture, nimbly avoided by Mrs Fox, we see a rope snare looped around two bunches of barred feathers.

The Hut on Hen's Legs has entered the clearing! "House" for Baba Yaga's Lenormand. #witchsky #tarotsky #lenormand #babayaga #slavic #fairytales #folklore #mythology #pagansky #occultsky #esotericsky
Baba Yaga's hut on hen's legs stalks into a sunny forest clearing with morel and fly agaric mushrooms, trees in front of and behind it; it prods at a skull on the ground whilst a rooster shouts up at it. Perhaps they are going to play soccer with the skull... A frieze across the base of the hut shows three women dancing, in Slavic woodcarving style.

Card 1, The Rider, for Baba Yaga's Lenormand complete! Might use this as a Yule Card this year - after all, she IS a Babushka! Even if the main gift she brings children is, er, Motivation... #witchsky #slavic #mythology #fairytale #tarotsky #lenormand #pagansky #occultsky #esotericsky #babayaga
Baba Yaga, dressed in brightly coloured flower patterned blouse, skirt and headscarf, with one boney leg, a pestle in one hand and a broom in the other, flies laughing in a carved wooden mortar over a wooded landscape with a winding road disappearing into the trees. Lightning flashes in the purple sky above the mountains behind her.

A little colour for Baba! Baba Yaga's Lenormand, Card 1, The Rider. #witchsky #pagansky #occultsky #tarotsky #Lenormand #Slavicmythology #Slavicfairytales
Baba Yaga in brightly coloured floral blouse, skirt and headscarf is riding a carved wooden mortar through the air, laughing, with the pestle in one hand and a broom in the other. She has one skeleton leg, and birch bark shoes. Her clothes are in different shades of blue with multi coloured flowers. The landscape behind her is drawn in pencil, ready to be painted later.

Pencil drawing of Baba Yaga, dressed in flowery headscarf, blouse and skirt, with one normal and one skeleton leg, riding her mortar above a forested landscape with a winding road cutting through it, brandishing her pestle in one hand and her broom in the other.

The Hanged Man is apparently "Adult Content", so here's the 8 of Wands, AKA "Stupid Tent", by itself for all you children out there! 🤣 The New Unauthorised Tarot, Pt 2 of The Marginal Lenormand, pre-orderable on Amazon etc. #witchsky #pagansky #occultsky #medieval #medievalists #tarotsky #historysky
A group of medieval knights in chainmail, helmets and red and blue tabards are attempting to put up a tent, rather inexpertly and getting their green wooden tent-poles tangled up. The image draws on the Rider Waite Smith Tarot card 8 of Wands, which many think looks like a group of campers trying to put up a tent, rather inexpertly... and has become part of a meme, "Stupid Tent!"

Happy Autumn Equinox, all! Click the link to hear a seasonal song that pairs nicely with this picture. And keep on making that Cider for the Old Dance! #pagansky #witchsky #medievalsky #medievalists #tarotsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVqf...
Two lines of dancers, all in brightly coloured clothing, some dressed as jesters and acrobats, one being hit on the head with a wooden bat for playing the fiddle rather badly, and some in animal masks - one also wearing a Bishop's mitre - flank an alarmed swordsman in the centre of the picture who is being attacked by a unicorn whilst an amused pantomime horse looks on.
