Woah, are you Wiccan?! I've research adopted Wiccan beliefs as my own, and have had them for a long time now. Granted, I'm not the most devout person, but I still strive to maintain a balance and connect with the energies surrounding us. I'm even more excited to model for you now!

AvalonSky In reply to kjcharmedfreak [2007-12-03 01:20:32 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, well lets just say I consider myself a pagan and am still trying to find my way, although certain aspects of Wicca do appeal to me and I would have to say I am not the most devout person either, although I wish I was better at being so. lol

Look forward to working with you too!

PS: Thanks for all the favs, I'm glad you liked them.

Gorgeous! Love the lighting around the candles. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the lighting inside the circle creates an etheral look to her- Brigid would be proud

AvalonSky In reply to Kate419882 [2007-08-26 14:23:40 +0000 UTC]

thank you so much! I'm truly happy you enjoyed it. The lighting created was intentional, to make it seem more natural and realistic. So I'm doubly happy you think so!

maybe it's the dress, but this picture reminds me of one of my favorite artists - Waterhouse.

AvalonSky In reply to Jesszcar [2007-06-16 14:49:17 +0000 UTC]

oh my gosh...that is the most amazing compliment you could have ever given me. Waterhouse is my favorite artist of all time and it is truly an honor you would say that. Although I agree it is probably due to her dress!! lol Thank you for commenting and stop by anytime!

you're welcome

(it reminds me of his painting of a girl walking on the seashore with her reddish hair blowing in the wind and she is wearing a long dark blue similar dress. we have the picture hanging up in my bathroom, but I can't remember what it is called, hehe...)

Thank you!!! Imbolc was lovely this year well....aside from a revelation that one friend should no longer be a part of my life. Thankfully it was a time of reflection and growing within myself. And makes me look extermely forward to next years celebration!
