“If you are a monster, stand up. If you are a monster, a trickster, a fiend, If you’ve built a steam-powered wishing machine If you have a secret, a dark past, a scheme, If you kidnap maidens or dabble in dreams Come stand by me. If you have been broken, stand up. If you have been broken, abandoned, alone If you have been starving, a creature of bone If you live in a tower, a dungeon, a throne If you weep for wanting, to be held, to be known, Come stand by me. If you are a savage, stand up. If you are a witch, a dark queen, a black knight, If you are a mummer, a pixie, a sprite, If you are a pirate, a tomcat, a wright, If you swear by the moon and you fight the hard fight, Come stand by me. If you are a devil, stand up. If you are a villain, a madman, a beast, If you are a strowler, a prowler, a priest, If you are a dragon come sit at our feast, For we all have stripes, and we all have horns, We all have scales, tails, manes, claws and thorns And here in the dark is where new worlds are born. Come stand by me.” ― Catherynne M. Valente

What an absolute f’ing honour to sing Marianne Faithfull’s self-scribed song  ‘Sister Morphine. Marianne was the living example of something women are notoriously encouraged to fail at: being free 🤍

#Dragons A High Valyrian Dragon Song (translation) Fire breather Winged leader But two heads To a third sing From my voice: The fires have spoken And the price has been paid With blood magic With words of flame With clear eyes To bind the three To you I sing As one we gather And with three heads We shall fly as we were destined Beautifully, freely - Daemon Targaryen, Singing to Vermithor

“Mythology never leaves us stranded: no matter what a dark tale it may spin, a true myth will lead us out of the dilemma and offer a cure” - Robert A. Johnson, The Fisher King and the Handless Maiden

🎨“The Mad King Aerys II Targaryen and His Ghosts” by Justin Sweet

“Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.” ― George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

🎨“The Scarlet Letter,” by Hugues Merle (1823-1881) Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of “The Scarlet Letter”(1850), regarded this painting, which William Walters commissioned from Merle in 1859, as the finest illustration of his novel. Set in Puritan Boston, the novel relates how Hester Prynne was publicly disgraced and condemned to wear a scarlet letter “A” for adultery. Arthur Dimmesdale, the minister who fathered her child, and Roger Chillingworth, Hester's elderly husband, appear in the background. By depicting Hester and her daughter, Pearl, in a pose that recalls that of the Madonna and Child, Merle underlines “The Scarlet Letter's” theme of sin and redemption

“No man, for any considerable period can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter, (1850)

Hello everybody🌿 Have a “Happy Thursday!”🌱

“The festival of the spring equinox speaks of freshness and youth, of excitement and endless possibilities. Nature begins to quicken and early flowers open to the warmth of the strengthening sun, bringing the colours of lemon and yellow into our lives on the wings of a March wind.” ― Carole Carlton, Mrs Darley's Pagan Whispers
