Oakspell

In pagan times, certain trees were considered sacred and treated as deities. This was especially true for ancient oaks. Although few people worship them today, a sense of magic still lingers around them. That’s why they attract various forest creatures – such as the błędnice...

Dziewonia - guardian of trees

"The forest has countless guardians, and every person who enters among the trees is always watched by many pairs of eyes. The Dziewonie are beings who dwell in the canopies of the tallest trees. They care for them and protect them from being cut down. Their presence is marked by stran...

The Village Beyond the Veil

Deep in a forgotten forest lies Wyrm Hollow—a village invisible to all but witches.

It appears only when called, hidden from mortal eyes by ancient magic. Trees part, fog lifts, and a mossy path unfolds only for those with the Sight.

Figure of Absence

This whole set was inspired by a painter I admire a lot - Zdzisław Beksiński. In one of his paintings titled "Pełzająca śmierć" (although he rarely titled his own work) he created a creature with a head covered in bandages. I remember learning about this painting during art class in middle ...

Kupala Night Promise

On Kupala Night, under a sky of stars and smoke, Mara and Yarilo stood by the river, wreaths in their hands. They had grown up together, their bond as steady as the current—but tonight, tradition tested it.

“If our wreaths float side by side,” Mara whispered, “we're mean...

Fading Into Light - editing tutorial

Hey! I got a lot of questions about this tutorial and since it's a very simple edit I wanted to share that with you. It's actually the first time I used this technique so I am not a pro but I think it looks quite interesting.

Baba Yaga's Hollow

Once, Baba Yaga lived at the edge of a village. She healed the sick, whispered to crows, and knew the names of every herb. But when crops failed and storms came, the villagers blamed her.

“Leave,” they said. “Your magic brings misfortune.”

For some time I had this idea in my head. In this vision a pale, almost glowing lady is standing in a really dark and creepy forest and her face is melting into the light.

Lady of the Lake

I had this photoshoot in mind for such a long time I can't even remember. The light conditions were really harsh and I wish I had something to lighten my face a bit but I am loving this photoshoot after all and I am so happy I could find the perfect place.

The Pale Lady

Yarra Castle lay in ruins, its towers broken and walls smothered in ivy. Beneath it, in a maze of caves, lived something ancient — a demon called the Pale Lady.

She looked like a woman, but wrong: too tall, too still, skin like candle wax, and eyes that never blinked. Her voic...

The Hanging Curse

In a forgotten village, five boys dared each other to visit the woods where old witch lived. They crept into her house at night, tied her up with rope, and hung her from the roof of her barn. Her eyes never left theirs, even as the life drained from her.

They laughed as they ran...
