Cernunnos

“Cernunnos” is now available over at my #Society6 Shop: (https://society6.com/thecubanwitch) #sharemysociety6

Cernunnos is the “Horned One”, a Celtic god associated with sexuality, fertility, the hunt, and the underworld. He was worshiped as the “lord of wild things” by the iron age Celts all across Europe as late as the first century, but his worship began centuries before that. Cernunnos is nearly always portrayed with animals, in particular the stag. He alternates with the goddess of the moon in ruling over life and death, continuing the cycle of death, rebirth and reincarnation.

St. Brigid of Ireland

“St. Brigid of Ireland” is now available over at my #Society6 Shop: (https://society6.com/thecubanwitch) #sharemysociety6

In Celtic religion and Irish mythology, Brigit or Brighid is the daughter of the Dagda (the "All-father") and one of the Tuatha Dé Danann (a race of people thought to derive from the pre-Christian deities of Ireland). Brighid was once the divine patroness of poetry, smithing, medicine, arts and crafts, cattle and other livestock, and was associated with fire and the coming of spring. During the Middle Ages, she was syncretized with a Christian saint, and became St. Brigid of Kildare or Ireland, who is one of Ireland's patron saints along with St. Patrick and St. Columba. She is also often referred to as Mary of the Gael. Irish hagiography makes her an early Irish Christian nun, abbess, and founder of several monasteries of nuns, including that of Kildare in Ireland, which was considered legendary and was highly revered.

Starlight Leo: July 23 August 23


“Starlight Leo” is now available over at my #Society6 Shop: (https://society6.com/thecubanwitch) #sharemysociety6

There is no such word as "doubt" in the Leonian's vocabulary. A typical Leo will always think and act bigger than others would ever dare to. At their best, they are courageous, strong willed, and immensely self-confident. They tend to be incredibly idealistic, humane and very noble, bravely coming to the defense of others.

Brides of Adam

Adam did not have the best of luck with women...

According to legend, Lilith was Adam's first wife, created at the same time and from the same earth as he was. She would, however, eventually abandon both her marriage and husband after refusing to become subservient to him. Eve was then created from Adam's rib to be both his new wife and companion, but unfortunately, she succumbs to the Serpent's temptation and eats the forbidden fruit from off the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve shares the fruit with her husband, and as a result, the first humans are cursed and expelled from the Garden of Eden by God forever for their disobedience.
