During Irish wakes, people would light pipes and smoke to help confuse evil spirits. They would also light candles by the head and foot of the bed of the deceased. I wish I could find more information on their Cait Sidhe’s interesting lore. If you would like to learn more check out my links below. Cait Sidhe

Happy Friday the 13th!
This is my Cat Sìth Scottish Wildcat for the Instagram @UndyingTales #UndyingTalesProject. https://shadowscapes.com/undyingtales_2020_oct.php The Scottish wildcat are critically endangered and there may be only 35 or so left in the world. They are only found in the United Kingdom. The tale within my Scottish Wildcat design is of the Cat Sìth, aka Cait Sidhe or Celtic Fairy Cat. More details of this cat’s tale on my close up post. |

I'm just a doodling artist. My current style started in a lecture class at MCLA where I began doodling in my notebooks. Now I've started a new series focusing on animals. Archives
