🩸 Happy Halloween 2023, everyone! 🩸
This year, I'm appeasing the Halloween Spirit, unhallowed be thy name, by using dark, lesser-known folklore as inspiration. Please enjoy my attempts at giving my children new appreciation through some of vile loving.
This is Althea's entry. Daemon's is here.
Baobhan sith - A female fairy in the folklore of the Scottish Highlands, though they also share certain characteristics with the succubus/vampire. The baobhan sith usually appears as a beautiful young woman wearing a long green dress that conceals the deer hooves she has instead of feet. She may also take the form of a wolf, or a hooded crow or raven. Their prey of choice are wandering men, particularly hunters, drawn by the smell of blood or a man’s wish for female company in the night. Typically appearing in groups (tales usually reference four), they dance and seduce their victims before killing and drinking their blood by slicing open the victims’ throats and/or chests with their long, sharp nails.
“With vile love, she coveted his warmth until the last drop touched her lips.”
