    This is a wonderful Halloween post! Fantastic art. As a cranial sacral therapist, the bones are divine.
    It's in the mail.

    What beautiful female figures in the Falero painting (first one). And what disturbing juxtapositions.

    And I haven't thought of Rops in decades. I need to look at more of his work.

    Cool depictions. I also like the banner painting.

    Certainly not the usual way witches have been portrayed in western culture.

Emily Dickinson - The Belle of Amherst
"When the Amherst sphinx styled herself a pagan, she meant she didn’t believe in the biblical God. What sort of deity, if any, she did believe in is hard to pinpoint."
