If you play cards in church during mass, the Devil might fetch you right then and there and drag you to Hell!

I am not sure if the same applies to playing on your smart phone, but personally I would not risk it.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1/20. Figuratively speaking, do you travel with the caravan or solo over the hills?

I have a few fellow folklorists I talk with. But ultimately, "translating old German folk tales into English" is an _extreme_ niche. In fact, I don't think anyone else is doing that right now.

Though I'd love to connect with other #folklore translators from other countries and cultures, if they are out there.

When the forest spirits of the Schömberg region abandoned their former homes, they left white sparrows behind so that the mortals would remember them.

My Lino block print shows a fox running across the snowy ground with the aurora borealis lighting up the sky. I have made a series of arctic animal prints with the northern lights.

This is my linocut print of an Arctic fox running over snowy grown against the night sky, printed in a gradient of indigo to dark indigo from the base to the top. The print has a tetradic colour scheme. Along with indigo the aurora shines in swathes of lime, lemon yellow and pinkish purple. This is a variable edition of 10 prints, printed by hand on Japanese paper, 9.25’ by 12.5”.

Witchcraft is not all about cursing people or partying at the witches' sabbath.

Sometimes, it's just about making a quick buck with a side hustle.

Painting of a grieving woman. Her eyes are closed, her facial features in deep sadness, her hands clutched and raised to the height of her chin. It captures the manifestation of sadness on a human face and posture incredibly well.

It is unwise to speak out of turn when summoning the Devil.

It is even less wise to ask the wrong question at the wrong time.
