I wanted to illustrate and pay homage to the essence of the Sabbat. In some ways this is the toughest time of year for me, personally. T he cliche of ‘the darkest before the dawn’ comes to mind when riding out the last leg of winter. I set out to illustrate ‘the Bride’, the feminine power that sweeps out the old so the new can enter. This is meant to be optimisitic, to give hope. This is a time of great potential, to close out situations that need to end and to get a jump on what needs done.
