THE JUNIPER TREE
Most shocking of all fairy tales:
"My mother, she slew me,
My father, he ate me
My sister, Little Marlene,
Gathered up my bones,
Tied them up in silk,
And put them under the Juniper tree"
Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm 1812 tr. Tatar, 1999 #FairyTaleTuesday 🎨DeviantArt
Port Na bPúcaí, The Fairy Lament. A traditional Irish tune for season of Samhain said to have been first heard on Ireland's west coast coming from ghosts far off in the Atlantic Ocean
super proud of @andreacarocrow who has an essay forthcoming in this issue of Banshee. It's a magic essay, I'll tell yiz what. dancing, painting, memory and profound observation.
