Artist Alena Klementieva

Artist Alena Klementieva-

'I have been drawing since childhood. I studied at the school of
Art as an artist. In digital paining I like Fantasy stile. I like to
represent fairies, angels, mermaids and mystical images and to use
many light effects.'
The quote above is one I found from the next Artist that I am going to do for you all. She is one
of my favorites and I think you will love her work too! Her work is from I could find is all
very detailed Fantasy of Fairies, angles, mermaids and many different kinds of mystical beings. Another
thing that you will discover with her work is the many different ways that she plays with colours and
light. In this technique she uses in her work it makes her painting look like the could almost jump out
of the painting or you could just step into her world she has created with the colours and light.
She is from Russia and lives in S. Petersburg which is an old part of the city. Alena is an Artist-Illustrator and Concept Artist too. Alena is also fond of the Slavonic theology & has study ethnology, eposes, bylimes, legends and traditions of the Ancient Slavonics. Alena is also interested in
Scandinavian Mythology as well and uses it alot in her paintings. I have found that she has used other
Slavonic Goddesses within her Works which show the Magick in her art which I love so much about
her work. She has been drawing since she was a young child/ and studied at the School of Art as an

Traditional Artist. In 2007 Alena discovered digital painting and her new found passion of medium.
I have always love Alena Klementieva works of Art, they bring me into a work

of enchantment that you can almost step into her paintings as if they are

a magick portal world. I hope that you all my dears will

Enjoy this most wonderful and talented Artist.
I hope to continue my Regular post very soon, I haven't forgotten
Your request for the Unicorn post and have been working on it
at times. And collecting many beautiful images for the post too. So if you all

have any other subjects that you all would like me to check-out, just put them

Happy Memorial Day-2014

IN MEMORY OF ALL
MEN & WOMEN AND SERVICE DOGS
TOO!

How It became Memorial day. I thought I would give you,
all a brief post on the history of the being of Memorial day.
It was in the Year 1866 when the United States was
recovering from the long and blooding Civil War between
the North and South. The surviving soldiers of the Civil War were
coming home - the few that did were missing many of limbs and all with the
horror of stories to tell. Henry Welles, a drugstore owner in Waterloo,
New York, had heard the stories and had a Great Idea. He suggested that all the
shops in the town close for one day to honor the soldiers who were killed in the
Civil War and were buried in the Waterloo Cemetery. So it did happen and on the
morning of May 5, the townspeople placed flowers, wreaths and crosses on
the graves of the Northern soldiers in the cemetery in May 5. Well it was said at about the same time,
Retired Major General Jonathan A. Logan had planned another kinda ceremony, but this time for the
soldiers who has all survived the war. Major General Jonathan had led the veterans though town

We must Remember all!

to the cemetery to decorate their comrades/friends graves with the American flags. It was not a happy
celebration, but a memorial to these men. The townspeople had called it Decoration Day!
But the Major General Logan decided to proclaim the day "Memorial Day". He declared:
"The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose to strewing with flowers, or otherwise
decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country and during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit."
Well from that speak the two ceremonies were joined in the year 1868, and the Northern states
commemorated the day on May 30, 1868. And the Southern States also commemorated their war

have Served too!

dead, but on a different day. Children would read poems and sang civil war songs and veterans would come to the schools wearing their medals and uniforms to tell the students about the Civil War. Then the veterans would year of 1882 the name was change to Memorial Day and the soldiers who had died in any previous wars were honored as well. In the northern United States, it was designated a pubic holiday. Then in the Year 1971 along, with other holidays the President at the time - Richard Nixon had declared Memorial Day a Federal Holiday on the last Monday in May.
march through their home towns followed by the townspeople to the cemetery. Once they were all at the cemetery everyone would decorate the grave sites and would take photographs of the soldiers next to American flags in the Cemetery.Later rifles would be shot into the air as a salute to the northern soldiers who had given their lives to keep the United States together. Of course at the time the Southern States were not involved with

And Our Faithful Dogs that our
Hero's that have fallen!

these type of celebrations. They had their own Private ceremonies of their soldiers who lost their lives to the civil war. Anyway in the
Cities all around the United States hold their own type of ceremonies on the last Monday of May to
pay respect to the men, women and now many dog service who have died in the wars or in the service of
their country. Memorial Day isn't limited to honor only those Americans from the armed forces. It is also a day for personal remembrance. What I mean by this-It is for the families and also individuals honoring the memories of their loved ones who have died or not. Also for many who go to Church services-visit the cemetery to leave flowers on a love ones grave site - Its a day to write a love one as I have done to my

father who is a veteran, who is my father my hero . Every Veteran's day and Memorial day I send my father a card to Honor him for his serve in the cold war .. I am blessed he is still with my family and very healthy too. It is also a day of Reflection!

Love you All my dears

Urisk-Scottish Solitary Fairy

Urisk- Scottish Solitary Fairy-
Well I am back again today! I guess I feel like doing fun
short post on interesting Magick creatures and Faeries now that I am feeling a bit better from my nasty cold.

I ended having bronchitics, so it might take still a while for me to do my usually longer posts that I do. So
I hope you all don't mind these smaller post for a while until I get over the bronchitics:o). My next fairy
is rather interesting its called an Urisk Scott Solitary faerie. As fairies go, I would call the male fairy the most
handsome of the lot. Although most Solitary fairies are either very beautiful or very plane looking.
This Urisk Male fairy unfortunately is not your handsome type of Solitary Fairy - He is tall and will appear to be aging because of his balding head of no hair. You will only see his pointy ears coming out from in long and drawn face that seems to be always sad. The Urisk Fairy will stare at you through soulful round eyes. Most,
but not all will sport a goatee on their chin. They are emaciated and have a hairless torso which gives them a somewhat human like appearance -at least on the top have of his body. His lower half is a goat-like with
shaggy fur. And his limbs are long and thin, which he walks on cloven feet. This could be the very reason that he has made his home in secluded pools so that his lower half goat of shaggy fur is concealed in the water.
The Urisk is a brownie fairy - which I have gone over before about brownies [A brownie is a small, hardworking elf-like creature that lives in houses and barns. He is said to come out at night, to finish the housework that has been left undone.In return, a brownie will accept gifts of food - cream, bread or milk may be left for him, but other gifts offend him - like that of - clothes are left out for him, he will put them on and vanish, never to return. A brownie is rarely seen, though he can often be heard cleaning and scrubbing.

The Urisk

A mischievous brownie could sometimes disarrange rooms and furniture, and make an untidy clutter.
Brownies occur mainly in the folklore of England and Scotland.] I hope that brief description will help. If
you need more on the Legend of the Brownie I have done a post [The Browney Fairy Sunday June 16, 2013] Just look for it on my Labels: The Urisk that hales from the Scottish Highland can only be found
in the isolated ponds, lakes, marshlands and streams or even sometimes strolling about through woodland
areas of the highlands. He is considered a Solitary Fae because he lives alone. He appears as a slight human
figure with the goat legs but he isn't a satyr or an faun. Most of them will sport a nice set of horns on their balding head. Even though the Urisk lives in such a lonely place, he is a friendly Fae and seeks out human
companionship. However his appearance is what ensures most people who cross his path tend to stay far away. But the few men or women who sought release form their woes by visiting solitude places withing the woodland. Seeking ease and peace, are quite often attracted to secluded pools, lakes and marsh's; basically place of contemplation. Of course most Scott's or Celtic people of heritage by heart all know that in the dark forests, woods and marsh lands of the lowlands and highlands are more likely then anywhere else to meet a Magick creature that would have their heart in their throat by the time they hit the highway of the first human house they see. This goes for their neighbor country of Ireland too.

'As i found 'Tis sad. Thee urisk, a humb creature by nature, so loney

and all thee wants is to make thee friends. But most humans will shun

the poor urisk just because of his appearance. That most find horrifying or frightening

kinda makes you think a bit about our own solidity and how we

treat our own people. Just how how you look, not what thee

person's personality might be. It seems it has followed

all thee way into the Fae world of yet sad but true.

Still I hope that one day the Urisk will have a friend that

will come because of his friendship qualities and befriend him

I hope in the Fae world and ours!'

Love and Friendship

can go a longggggggggggg! way in the world!

love you all my dears friends and followers

Yakshas Spirits

Yakshas Spirits-
Well I thought I would go deep and try to find as many different
kinda Faeries, Nature spirits, Nymphs, Muse's, and Magick creatures as I can for you all my dears friends

Female Yakhas

and followers. So here is the Yakshas sometimes benevolent nature spirits- They are said to be the
guardians of treasures hidden in the earth and roots of trees. Their ruler is Kubera, who lives on a
mountain in the great Himalayas. Yakshas are deities of cities, districts, lakes and wells, and
are also thought to have originated from a cult of the ancient Dravidians.
I found that also in the Hindu, Jain and Buddhist Mythology the Yakshas Spirits had a dual personality.
On one hand a Yaksa may be a offensive natural fairy that is associated with the woods and mountains of
the Grand Himalayas/ but there is another side to this Yaksa Spirit fairy, which is much darker and has a
cannibalistic ogre, ghost or demon like to the fairy spirit that haunts the wilderness of the forest and woods
of Himalayas. That will devour any travelers that happens to get lost within those woods that he/she haunts.
They say that the Yaksha is basically a very dangerous cannibalistic, the tutelary spirit of the lake
who threatens the life of the epic hero Yudhisthira. The Yaksas may have origin been the tutelary gods of
the forests and villages and were later viewed as the stewed deities of the earth and the weatlh buried beneath. Males Yakshas are portrayed as either as fearsome warriors stout dwarf-like females Yakshas are
portrayed as beautiful young women with happy round faces and full breasts and hips. In the state of Kerala in South India a Yakshis are depicted as an vampire enchantresses.

I hope you enjoyed this short post on the Yaksha

I found it quite interesting myself I hope you did too!

I love you all my dears friends and followers

Much love to you all

Wendy
