In Celtic mythology deer are connected to the fairy realm or Otherworld. They are messengers associated with spirits, or gods who may shape shift into the form of deer. Some tales say they are “fairy cattle" herded and milked by an otherworldly woman.

How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn. How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low.
Isaiah, 14:12. #Bible #WordsOnWednesday

“Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern.”

@FairyTale_Tues The image does not do it justice. I’m very lucky that that painting is housed in a fabulous art gallery, not too far from where I live. @LeverArtGallery one of my favourite places to be!

Bringing a horseshoe to your #wedding day is an old tradition in Ireland! To bring the couple good luck in the ceremony & throughout their long life together! Many brides will have one in their floral bouquet. One was then hung over the door of their new home! #FairyTaleTuesday

It is traditional for a bride to wear a veil on her wedding day. Symbolising modesty and chastity the custom dates back to ancient Rome when brides covered themselves with veils as a disguise to fool evil spirits and to protect from any malicious intent.

“Married in the month of roses - June
Life will be one long honeymoon.”

June named after Juno, Roman goddess and patron of women, marriage & motherhood is said to be an auspicious time to wed. One hopes the marriage of this elegant if dour couple bode well.
