The banshee is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the underworld.  In legend, a banshee is a fairy woman who begins to wail if someone is about to die. In Scottish mythology, she is known as the bean sìth or bean nighe and is seen washing the bloodstained clothes or armour of those who are about to die. In Welsh folklore, a similar creature is known as the Hag of the mist. The banshee can appear in a variety of guises. Most often she appears as an ugly, frightening hag, but she can also appear as a stunningly beautiful woman of any age that suits her. In some tales, the figure who first appears to be a banshee or other cailleach is later revealed to be the Irish battle goddess, the Morrígan.

A quick Wendigo tryout. Glad I got these nicely semi-mummified skulls. The odour isn’t that fascinating, but it sure should work when daddy’s making monsters for the weekend.

MYTHOLOGY EDITS | witches

witchcraft broadly means the practice of, and belief in, magical skills and abilities that are able to be exercised by individuals and certain social groups. witchcraft is a complex concept that varies culturally and societally; therefore, it is difficult to define with precision and cross-cultural assumptions about the meaning or significance of the term should be applied with caution. witchcraft often occupies a religious, divinatory or medicinal role, and is often present within societies and groups whose cultural framework includes a magical world view.

we probably all know a creature with “raven hair and ruby lips” and chances are, “she’s a restless spirit on an endless flight.“
