Samhain


In Celtic tradition on Samhain night (now Halloween) we celebrate the End of the Old Year and the Beginning of the Dark Half of the Year, during which darkness wins over light and Nature seems "dead".
The Celts thought that on Samhain the veil between the wordls was thinner, and that they could communicate with the dead and their ancestors.
This is my offering to my ancestors.
I know it may look funny, but it seems that I'm not able to draw anything serious. :)

  2. I really love the way you raise the veil to get a climpse of the other side...
