folklore
-
The cruelest spell needs no candles or chanting—only a promise of tomorrow that never arrives.
-
The village feared the crows; she listened to them, carrying feathers, wildness, and a name older than the one she was given.
-
The women they called dangerous were often simply the ones who learned to survive without asking permission.
-
An abandoned house and candlelight offer a resting place to a woman who has survived enough ghosts of her own.
-
She went looking for somewhere to put her grief and found the moon, the forest, an abandoned house, and eventually herself.

-
Black-laced branches, a cracked stone step, and a doorway barely touched by candlelight mark a house that does not wish to be fully seen.
-
A candle burns impossibly still while an old house seems to remember every life that ever passed through its walls.

The candle bows toward an empty doorway before she understands the old house is not as abandoned as it appears.

An abandoned house becomes a green witch’s cathedral, where ivy writes spells and smoke rises beside a single flame.
