She wears strength and darkness equally well, the girl has always been half goddess, half hell.

[somberwish]

Raven hair and ruby lips, Sparks fly from her fingertips, Echoed voices in the night, She's a restless spirit on an endless flight. Woo-hoo, witchy woman, See how high she flies, Woo-hoo, witchy woman, She got the moon in her eye. She held me spellbound in the night, Dancing shadows and firelight, Crazy laughter in another room, As she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon.

Witchy Woman, The Eagles

If this is real, he’s like a vry’kul-god-male-banshee and I’m living for it. Thanks to @azureflight for sharing this on Discord (and to whoever leaked it, regardless of if it’s real—because it’s a cool design.)

General Etiquette for Working with the Dead

These are some of the guidelines I follow when working with the dead:

When entering a graveyard, be sure to greet and leave something for the guardian of the graveyard.

Never walk on the graves of the deceased.

Never take anything out of the graveyard without permission of the guardian or a specific grave’s resident.

Never take items people have left for their loved ones off the graves.

Only gather graveyard dirt from the perimeter of the graveyard, never from the graves themselves.

Upon leaving the graveyard, say farewell to the dead you encountered, and the guardian.

Never force the dead to work for you, if they are unwilling or unable to aid you try again later or try another spirit.

Be mindful of the dead’s beliefs in life, not all will be friendly to those who practice magic.

Give the dead the same respect and thought that you yourself would wish to be given.

Obey your local laws and ordinances regarding the dead and graveyards/burial sites.

what I’m looking for↓

Friends, foes and followers. Mal’aeson is a former member of the Cult of the Damned, having studied for years in Scholomance. Presently he is the fledgling cult leader of Shadow’s Vigil, a family of societal outcasts and “lost souls” founded alongside his partner, Selina Morrowsong.

As such I am looking for dark, macabre and horror themes. Heavy emphasis on undead (spirits and zombies primarily). Gore, violence and torture. Ritual sacrifice (potential animal cruelty warning).

Always on the lookout for new initiates into Shadow’s Vigil! Outcasts, loners, pariahs, hermits, the weak, the vulnerable, the impressionable, the downtrodden, the insecure, the fearful, the superstitious and the fatalist may find an accepting and secure home within the family.

I am the cold wind's blow, the midnight chill across winter snow, a hungry, ever mindful crow; that stands vigil o'er deadman's row. I am the garden's bloom, the beauty in the springtime gloom, a spark of life in an ancient tomb; that delivers you from certain doom. I am the harvest grown, a lake beneath summer sun shone, where rests a cave of ancient stone; that hides stories of blood and bone. I am the raging sea, the dying leaves of an autumn tree, a guiding light that acts as key; to open the way and set you free.
