#Calligraphy #Copperplate #SocialAwareness "Without compassion, there is no humanity." I see every day on social media, an overwhelming number of posts from ppl who seem bereft of compassion. Whether it's labelling all homeless as mentally ill criminals who are addicted to drugs...

#Calligraphy #Fraktur #Blackletter #IrishMythology #SecondBattleofMoytura #TheMorrigan From "The Second Battle of Moytura", a story of the Tuatha de Danann, this is the Morrigan's Prophecy of Peace, one of three poems/chants from her within the story.

Peace to the sky,
Sky to the earth,
Earth beneath sky,
Strength in each man,
A cup full of honey,
Honour enough,
Summer in winter,
Spear supported by shield,
Shields supported by forts,
Forts fierce and eager for battle,
Fleece from sheep,
Woods full of stags,
Forever destructions have departed,
Fruit on trees,
A branch drooping down,
Drooping from growth,
Wealth for a son,
A son very learned,
Neck of bull in yoke,
A bull from a song

#Calligraphy a redo of the one I did in copperplate the other night. Blackletter calligraphy always seems to provide more weight to a quote. "I am one minor inconvenience away from becoming Folklore."

I've done that in the past! and usually do that when I do "word of the day" practice. the word itself in fraktur, then the definition in copperplate :D Like this.

So, for a while now I've been drawing a little acorn at the bottom of my #calligraphy as a way to sign it. I've been wanting to get a small little rubber stamp to make it easier, but the things are WAY overpriced.

#Calligraphy #Copperplate #OriginalPoetry Not my best calligraphy, even for monoline copperplate. will definitely be redoing it, but wanted to share what came into my head tonight.

I long to see that verdant land
Stand in her silvery mists
To feel their spirits close at hand
And what magic still persists.
The emerald hills of Danu’s kin,
Cu Culain’s cattle raids;
Where Finn he raised mighty din
And Macha’s curse was laid
To ireland let my spirit roam
When my life is done and gone
Let my memory find its final home
In land of Druid’s Song.

#Calligraphy #lyrics #Fraktur #HeatherAlexander #AlexanderJamesAdams spent a lot of time on this one. 3 separate sessions to do the absolute best I could on it.

I've played my pipes before man's dawn
Seen maidens ripe, turn pale and wan
Taught man the art of song and dance
Yet had to part from mortal clans
I must return to silent dells
No fire burns, and nature dwells
So take thy rest within the shade
And as the evening hours fade
I'll take thee deeper in the glade
My cloven hooves through heather wade
I'll teach thee things man has forbade
Our souls entwined and unafraid
And I shall be thy lover

Heather Alexander "Creature of the Wood"

#Calligraphy #pagan #wiccan #IrishPagan #EmeraldRose #Lyrics This is a quote from an old Celtic/pagan/folk music group called Emerald rose based loosely on the "Song of Amergin" which appears in the "Book of Leinster". It has a phrase in it that states "I am a god that kindles fire in the head"

Fire in the head...
I'm a flame in motion
I'm a sword that's sharp
I'm a drop in the ocian
A shield in battle and
A sword that's sharp
I'm an Eagle soaring
I'm a spoken word
I'm a torrent pouring
A grain of wheat and a
Cauldron stirred
