Next on our journey through The Enchanted Forest of Little Wolves is Candlewick, home of the Pumpkin Court.
In the round town's center is a short wall of cobblestone that surrounds an ever-burning bonfire flanked by a bustling marketplace full of anything you could need!
The denizens of the Pumpkin Court spend their time crafting, farming, and guiding lost souls to new vessels and, in turn, their new homes in The Enchanted Forest.
The Pumpkin Queen is not one individual, but a collective, and their name changes with the seasons.
A group of old happy souls living in harmony that loves to celebrate life, art, and passion. Any truly content soul can choose to rest by joining the Queen’s eternal flame.

The building that the Israeli occupation blew up this morning in Al-Shifa Medical Complex is the nerve center of the health sector in Gaza City and its north.
All the heart devices, X-ray imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging equipment in Gaza were destroyed after the specialized building was bombed today.
The specialized building destroyed by the occupation contained the largest drug store in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli burned homes last night that were sheltering civilians.
There are families trapped and starving in Al-Shifa Medical Complex since the occupation army entered it days ago.
“Israel bombing targets any moving object inside and around Al-Shifa Medical
Complex.
Communications are still cut off with everyone inside Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
There is no truth to the claims about the israli army withdrawing from Al-Shifa
““Mother,” I slowly repeated in Korean. “I am not a boy. I am a girl. I am transgender.” My face reddened, and tears blurred my vision. I braced myself for her rejection and the end to a relationship that had only begun. Silence again filled the room. I searched my mother’s eyes for any signs of shock, disgust or sadness. But a serene expression lined her face as she sat with ease on the couch. I started to worry that my words had been lost in translation. Then my mother began to speak. “Mommy knew,” she said calmly through my friend, who looked just as dumbfounded as I was by her response. “I was waiting for you to tell me.” “What? How?” “Birth dream,” my mother replied. In Korea some pregnant women still believe that dreams offer a hint about the gender of their unborn child. “I had dreams for each of your siblings, but I had no dream for you. Your gender was always a mystery to me.” I wanted to reply but didn’t know where to begin. My mother instead continued to speak for both of us. “Hyun-gi,” she said, stroking my head. “You are beautiful and precious. I thought I gave birth to a son, but it is OK. I have a daughter instead.””
