Satan Worshiping Old Hag
Yes, I know the figure I chose for Satan is silly, and the old hag is ugly,
but we are talking about silly and ugly stereotypes here, right?
Where did the blood come from? Well I will leave that up to your imagine...

ACTUAL WITCH IN RITUAL
Real life Pagans and Witches are peaceful, loving people, and since I often perform a Simple Ritual sitting down indoors, I wanted to portray an example of this.
REAL LIFE WITCH
Real Witches are normal people that live pretty ordinary lives like most other people, so I did a second drawing to represent a Witch... a woman walking in the forest... I've been doing this alot lately.
I love the contrast between realistic witchy fiction and the stuff people have made up. I'm still giggling about the uncertain origins of the blood--too hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI love your Witch in Jeans ;-)
Thank you Magaly! It was a fun project; I enjoyed it!
DeleteLove the pencil drawings & 'real' representation as opposed to the stereotype (mind that's an great bit of art too LOL) for a while I toyed with doing a 'WANTED' real witch line-up - of course the real witch would have been the one in jeans & T-shirt & the others would have been just assorted dudes rounded up from a costume party ;) Pleased I called by & great post :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sunshineshelle! I love your idea of a real witch line up! I'm so happy you stopped by :)
DeleteI've flown over from Pagan Culture and I'm wondering how it is that I have been online for so long and am just now finding your wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your drawings and descriptions! I'll be back for sure. :)
Wow, thanks Polly! Happy to have you!
DeleteSuch nice drawings and very realistic. I can relate to your "real life witch" since that's what I do. Walk in the forrests a lot and do rituals. Nice blog you have. Greetings from FInland
