Hi everyone,

I haven’t posted on this blog in a while, the last edit I made was posted 3 years ago. Life just got in the way I guess.

I feel like I’ve abandoned this blog, and I regret that. I’ll start reblogging again, and I may start making edits again. We’ll see.

For everyone who’s still here, thank you for sticking around.

“Rosehill was shady and beautiful, the most serene place I could imagine. It had been closed to the public for years, and sometimes as I wandered alone - and often lonely - through the lush fern beds and long curtains of silvery moss, I pretended the crumbling angels were wood nymphs and fairies and I their ruler, queen of my own graveyard kingdom.” — Amanda Stevens

goddesses: demeter

in greek mythology demeter is the goddess of grain, agriculture, harvest, growth, and nourishment, who presided over grains and the fertility of the earth.

modern mythical creatures | faeries
