Pencils and ink / ‘O then, I see, Queen Mab hath been with you. She is the fairies’ midwife…Her wagon spokes made of long spinner’s legs: The cover, of the wings of grasshoppers; Her traces, of the smallest spider’s web; Her collars, of the moonshine’s watery beams…And in this state she gallops, night by night, through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love.’ Bits from Romeo and Juliet: Act 1, scene 1V

When someone mentions a ghost, most of us think of cemeteries, haunted houses, and human-sized transparent figures draped in sheets. / Likewise, the word “faerie” is usually linked with cute little figures with wings, magick, bright colours and merry mischief. However, mention a Banshee, and people squirm. / The Banshee, like a ghost, can represent death to many people, but that is not her actual role in folklore, or in our lives. The Banshee from the Irish bean sí, or bean sidhe (“woman of the síde” or “woman of the fairy mounds”) is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld. / According to legend, one Banshee guards each Milesian Irish family; these are the families whose names start with O’ or Mac, though those prefixes have often been dropped, particularly by American families. / Nonetheless, there is a Banshee for each branch of these families, and the family Banshee can follow the descendants to America, Australia, or wherever the Irish family travels or emigrates. / Her moarnful cry can be heard anywhere. / The Banshee protects the family as best she can, perhaps as a forerunner of the “Guardian Angel” in Christian traditions. However, the time we are most aware of her is before a tragedy that she cannot prevent. Meaning, that traditionally, the Banshee appears shortly before a death in “her” family. Despite her grim reputation, seeing or hearing a Banshee is not what actually causes the death. / The Banshee herself is traditionally a very kind woman, as poet and historian W. B. Yeats commented, “You will with the banshee chat, and will find her good at heart.” / Perhaps her appearance and wailing before a death are efforts to protect her family from a death or other tragedy that she foresees. Here I have depicted her in her guise as the young woman she once was, tho her eyes are red from centuries of weeping and she still cries black tears. / Behind her perched majestically on the clifftop, the ruined medieval Castle of Dunluce sits still, once home to the great irish families. / Forever loyal she guards the ruins, weeping at the loss of the great families. / / “There were originally five towers; there are now only two remaining: “Macuilin’s Tower” on the east side, which contains the remains of a staircase, and a smaller tower seawards called Mave Roe’s Tower; so called after Mave Roe, supposed by some to have been a relative of the MacQuillins, and by others, their banshee, or fairy spirit, whose wail, they say, is still heard above the winter’s storm, and who keeps the apartment scrupulously clean, expecting the return of the former owners.” – From Sketches of Olden Days in Northern Ireland by Rev. Hugh Forde some interesting reading- / Banshees / Irish faeries / celtic magick / wikipedia – banshee / Legend of the Banshee / Dunluce Castle / thankyou for taking the time to view my art and (hopefully) comment… / please have a look at my other artwork… / hope you enjoy! :) /

Illustration of Bertha the witch who comes from Brazil and was given to me years ago by my cousin Carla. She has followed me all around the world since then so she is close to my heart. Unfortunately, she lost her broom somewhere along the way … so she’s asking everyone to keep careful and safe and not lose their brooms! Great for Halloween or just as a gift for anyone who loves quirky witches.
