"Yuletide Season" by Reina Bruja

Let's celebrate the eighth season of the year, the arrival of the dark, cold winter; Yule.






"We walk through the forest unseen, like the whisper of leaves and the sorrow of trees."







"Papa Winter is yet to come, stillness and slumber entwine all around his children... " 



"Tesoros mágicos puedes encontrar, sólo abre tu corazón y ahí estarán"




"The beloved Father Sun has gone to sleep, let us wait patiently for his warm return. In this Winter's Solstice be with the ones you love, keep your spirit high and your heart strong."




"We come luminous and bright, dancing with the light of Father Sun" 






"In winter we return to the soil where we were born, we sleep soundlessly waiting to be reborn." 




"The beloved Father Sun has gone to sleep, let us wait patiently for his warm return. In this Winter's Solstice be with the ones you love, keep your spirit high and your heart strong."





"Con los primeros rayos cálidos de tu amor despierto, tu amor abrazador toca mi piel y cada poro reacciona. Soy la pequeña semilla que ha dormido durante el oscuro invierno, soñando germinar de nuevo. Tuve que dejar morir todo lo que ya no me pertenecía, tuve que dejarme morir dolorosamente. Estuve dormido en el silencio, descansando, retomando la fuerza necesaria para revivir con tu fuego sagrado. Hoy me despierto y escucho tu canto, es momento de levantarse de nuevo; empezar a vivir. Hoy renazco amando tanto a la luz como a la oscuridad, en el balance que designa la naturaleza, en mi propia armonía. Vuelvo a nacer contigo en un ciclo de sabiduría ancestral y eterna." 



"Yuletide Season" is inspired in the hope of the rebirth of the Father Sun. In winter all creatures sleep, hide or die, but it is only the temporary death of the wise Mother. Nature always knows that hibernation is the previous step to be born again, stonger and wiser. As creatures of nature we too have to die to be reborn as higher beings. 

I hope this long cold winter gives you the necessary time to be with yourself and meditate about who you really are or want to become.

Backstage Footage ("Carmilla's Longing") Reina Bruja's Halloween Photoshoot

Because everybody loves backstage footage and bloopers, I share with you the fun process of getting the right pictures hehehe.

It was a very hot sunday, the location was crowded with families having pic nics and playing with their dogs but we managed to enjoy the day and complete the photoshoot :D



I am a very goofy and silly person, so after every "click" of the camera I had to laugh or make a joke, besides it was hot as hell and I was wearing black velvet, so you can imagine...






Besides being friends, we make a good artistic team...














The concept of the finished photoshoot was the gloomy mystery of the deadly months of October and November. This season is always filled with darkness, melancholy and death. I chose the vampire figure to represent that.























I dearly thank my friends-sisters for helping me with my artistic things, we had a lot of fun! 



Don't forget to watch the finished work Reina Bruja's Halloween Photoshoot  and the Short Picture Story "Carmilla's Longing" 

I hope you enjoyed, blessings! )O(
