Butterfly Boucher - A Walk Outside (Flutterby: 2003) Which came first The love or the love song? Which is more important In the long run? Do you really want to talk about it? Take it to the back veranda Have a drink and talk around it In the end it doesn't matter In the end we all go home I thought about it for a minute Music's in the kiss we hold Which came first The love or the love song? I'm sorry I guess I was wrong Let us find the tune without a sound Find a place no one's found Pick it up and put it down In the end it doesn't matter In the end they all go home I thought about it for a minute Music's in the kiss we hold Music is a walk outside Clever lines and clever lyrics All boil down to what goes in them If they find life then so do we Yeah, uh-huh, I think we're alive Music is a walk outside Think about it for a minute In the end we all go home Music's in the things that matter Hear it in the kiss we hold Music is a walk outside Which came first The love or the love song?

Wax on Radio - Guilding The Lily (Exposition: 2006) Widened eyes, why the look of startled surprise? Following, what's become of a sad sense of hope and your moaning of faith Sickened words of sadder days, a glorious fate Trust not what we've come to make of the truth Waking to the walls closing in around you Bright and bold are the fires we've set after you

Your grasp has been released from the god awful hand Your grasp has been released As an aching will rise in the bones, when will I need you?

Dig down in the sand tell us son what you've found in your hand You hold the ghost of your lost and broken soul Tell of the faith we will need to know for the plans to be made What's come of love? Will you know not what you've done until you see her? Me and my love We can't see straight Oh, me and my love We can't see straight

As we walk through a wood to a clearing of light Where the moonlight lets in all the creatures that stir there in the night I have followed you if only to show what we reap we will not sew Fading gray As the trouble come and go Fading gray

I have followed you if only to show that an aching rises in bone

Love of mine I have to tell you we're out of time The hell that has wrought us will soon reprise And leave our souls knowing life is pain until death closes our eyes

I really like this one. Another Alphonse Mucha one.

I’m thinking CLAMP probably looked at some of Mucha’s stuff when creating Clow Cards for Card Captor Sakura. But I could be wrong.

A modern mask representing one of the Perchten, followers of Perchta, sometimes leader of the Wild Hunt.

And this is why I had a terror of masks as a child.

With Santa, you get coal.  With Perchta, your guts are cut out and you’re stuffed with straw and pebbles.

Germanic parents don’t play no games.

Perchta was known as a goddess in Southern Germanic Paganism in the Alpine countries. Her name means “the bright one.” Perchta is the goddess Holda’s southern cousin, and they share the role as a “guardian of the beasts.”

January 6, the Twelfth Night, was once her festival day, later replaced by Epiphany in Christianity.

mothtales:

Perchta:  “Masked figures from the “Wilde Jagd” Christmas folklore festivity in Salzburg, Austria. These festivities originate through the Perchtenlaufen custom, a period when the fearsome witch Perchta, who envies happily married couples, roams the villages. Processions of horribly masked figures armed with sticks and clubs meet throughout the festivity to chase the witch away.”

"I found this book of beautiful Art Nouveau artwork by Julius Klinger, originally published in 1902. Two of the images really struck me and I decided to upload them. A horsewoman and a female fencer."
