here comes the spirit of high summer. They were supposed to have wings but I was really tired. Maybe the wings are just folded up tight for landing.

In the Folklore Thursday Twitter feed I saw this post from Great Uncle Darkly:

“Moss Folk or Wood Wives are female spirits who weave the moss which covers trees. For every tree felled, a Wood Wife dies.” #FolkloreThursday

Then I went walking on the mountain in the woods. Apparently the post stayed with me.

Apparently I’m just a half step away from painting waifs with big eyes on black velvet. Who knew.
