Congratulations and thanks for the #artshare opportunity! Here are some of my #ink drawings. #art #artsky #fantasy #illustration

Na een lange en chaotische avond, stemde de Tweede Kamer voor de asielwetten van minister Faber. Het wordt zélfs strafbaar om ongedocumenteerde mensen te helpen met onderdak, een maaltijd of kleding. Help ons dit beleid tegen te houden, teken én deel de petitie: groenlinkspvda.nl/petitie/stop...

This looks beautiful <3 The artist, Kendra Haste, is inspired by the #rewilding movement, which also has my support. Via @thisiscolossal.com #artsky #greensky

Happy #summersolstice! A find of a solar observatory in the Netherlands indicates that at least some ancient people observed the same dates as are celebrated in the contemporary #Wiccan wheel of the year, including #midsummer! #pagansky #heathensky #witchsky

An almost 4,000 years old sauna in the Netherlands? I didn't know it existed until recenlty. It might even have been a ritual place! #pagansky #heathensky #rituals #ritual thimsternisse.com/the-sauna-of...

On this day in 1882, fantastic fairy art illustrator John Bauer was born #artsky #johnbauer

A recent worldwide survey from the Pew Research Center showed that beliefs that align with pagan beliefs are (slightly) on the rise worldwide. Think of the idea that spirits reside in nature, or that there can be life after death. The Netherlands was one of the countries interviewed. #pagansky

I love how there is so much art that taps right into the magical and liminal. Check out these beautiful portals painted by Eli McMullen. #artsky #witchsky #art #magic

😱 ... OK, the damage doesn't seem too dramatic, but the painting is estimated (a ridiculous) 40-50 mln, so this must give everyone involved a headche... #rothko #artsky #art #netherlands

Happy Beltane! #witchsky #pagansky #beltane

If you see this, post a witch!

I didn't know this is a thing, but as a lover of corvids; happy belated #internationalcrowandravenappriciationday ! (it was actually the 27th, but oh well)

Wereldwijd zijn inmiddels in 38 landen delen vd natuur erkend als rechtspersoon. En dat heeft effect, ziet Meike Wijers in Nieuw-Zeeland. Sinds de rivier een rechtspersoon is, merkt Maori-riviervoogd Ned Tapa een verandering. 'De rivier is nog nooit zo schoon geweest.' nos.nl/artikel/2565...

Good day, dear Bibliophiles✨ art by Pilar Garcia #caturday

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. ("Hard mode": no Star Wars, Star Trek, LotR.)

Yes! If you can, then do what you love.

Some interesting news about humans and animals (hares in this case) living together, and a sidedish of Dutch folklore: #pagansky #witchsky #nature #folklore

Iets wat de meesten vast al wel wisten, maar leuk dat de wetenschap het bevestigt: niet alleen #kunst maken, maar ook naar kunst kijken, verbetert je leven! #artsky

Happy #earthday! I met this lovely little yellow spider among dandelions while gardening 💚💛

Goed initiatief! #burgerbrraad #klimaat

Happy #Easter! There are many posts about the #folklore surrounding Easter with lots of mentions of the goddess #Ostara. But who is Ostara, and is she really that ancient? Or could we maybe call her a 'new' goddess? #pagansky #witchsky #heathensky #history

I painted a cat in a bookshelf! medium: Nicker poster colour on Arches watercolour paper

Golden shoulder piece, made around 1900-1600 BCE and found in Wales. It was part of a bigger cloak made of fabric, covered with amber, and would have been a sparkling spectacle, reminiscent of the light of the sun itself. #artsky #pagansky #heathensky #archaeology #history

🔥🔥🔥 "Stichting Civitas Christiana moet per direct stoppen met het verspreiden van het Zwartboek Lentekriebels. Dat is het oordeel van de voorzieningenrechter in het kort geding tussen Stichting Rutgers en Stichting Civitas Christiana." #lentekriebels #rutgers #civitaschristiana #rechtszaak

From the 15th century manuscript ‘Champion des dames’, this is the first known depiction of women flying on (broom)sticks. They are Waldensians, a heretic sect associated with #witchcraft. #witchsky #artsky #arthistory #history

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

"English Heritage’s decision to acknowledge Eostre in its materials invites deeper exploration—not just of where our traditions come from, but how they continue to inspire meaning through religious observance, seasonal cycles, and shared cultural memory."

Arnold Böcklin, The sacred grove (1882). Symbolist painter Böcklin found much inspiration in ancient art and myth to depict late 19th century ideas about life and death. This work shows his romanticized version of what an ancient pagan cult would look like. #artsky #arthistory #symbolism #painting

Happy #worldartday! I've been drawing and painting since I was little and studied art history in my early twenties... Art is still in my life every day <3 Here's one of my own watercolor paintings, a personal fave called Whispers #artsky #fantasy #art #watercolor #painting

Fresco in the Villa of Mysteries in Pompeii, Italy, ca. 50 BCE. The complex images are thought to depict a woman’s initiation into the cult of the god Bacchus - the part depicted here probably shows a rite associated with the god. #artsky #pagansky #arthistory

John William Waterhouse, Odysseus and the Sirens (1896). This #painting was doesn't depict the sirens in the conventional Victorian way of lovely waternymphs. Instead #Waterhouse chose to depict the sirens in the original Greek way, as woman-headed birds. #arthistory #artsky #preraphaelites

Wat een non-nieuws. Het valt me ook op hoe het klakkeloos gedeeld wordt op veel nieuwssites. Erg naar voor de mevrouw wat er gebeurd is, maar dit gebeurt letterlijk tientallen keren per dag, dus waarom is dan wel nieuwswaardig als het *mogelijk misschien* door een wolf ipv een hond wordt gedaan?

John Bauer, The Root Trolls (1917). Trolls are a recurring topic in the works of this beloved #fairytale artist. The boy lying in front of the trolls was modelled by John’s own son, Bengt. #artsky #arthistory #johnbauer #fairyart

#PinkMoon Over Water" by Georgia O'Keeffe. 1923 #WomensArt #FullMoon #SuperMoon

The so called "Venus" of Laussel was found in southwest France and is ca. 25.000 years old. It depicts a woman, probably a #goddess, holding a carved horn with thirteen notches. She is thought to be connected to fertility and the moon. #arthistory #artsky #pagansky #archaeology

Frans Francken – Witch’s Kitchen (1606). The subject of witches' sabbaths - as imagined by devout christians, one may add - was popular in Early Modern #art. Francken went along with this fashion and made several paintings depicting #witches and their shenanigans. #witchsky #artsky #arthistory

Bronze wheel pin, found in Beek (Netherlands), made ca 1500 – 1100 BCE. The symbol of a cross in a circle - thought to symbolize the sun - can be found all over Europe. This example is a pin used to fasten clothing, bent and thrown in water as an offering. #history #archaeology #pagansky #heathensky

Alphonse #Mucha - Zodiac (1896), meant as a calendar, showing one of Mucha’s trademark beautiful women in gorgeous clothing and jewellery, in front of a halo filled with the sigs of the zodiac. #artsky #arthistory #artnouveau
