Moon Goddess Hecate Tapestry - Wiccan Tapestry - Hekate Witchy Tapestry by Printagrams

40.00 USD

It was probably her role as guardian of entrances that led to Hecate's identification by the mid fifth century with Enodia, a Thessalian goddess. Enodia's very name ("In-the-Road") suggests that she watched over entrances, for it expresses both the possibility that she stood on the main road into a city, keeping an eye on all who entered, and in the road in front of private houses, protecting their inhabitants.

This function would appear to have some relationship with the iconographic association of Hecate with keys, and might also relate to her appearance with two torches, which when positioned on either side of a gate or door illuminated the immediate area and allowed visitors to be identified. "In Byzantium small temples in her honor were placed close to the gates of the city. Hecate's importance to Byzantium was above all as a deity of protection. When Philip of Macedon was about to attack the city, according to the legend she alerted the townspeople with her ever present torches, and with her pack of dogs, which served as her constant companions." This suggests that Hecate's close association with dogs derived in part from the use of watchdogs, who, particularly at night, raised an alarm when intruders approached. Watchdogs were used extensively by Greeks and Romans.

Woven Cotton Blanket - Medieval Unicorn by Printagrams

Image
101.85 USD The Unicorn in Captivity The seven individual hangings known as "The Unicorn Tapestries," are among the most beautiful and complex works of art from the late Middle Ages that survive. Luxuriously woven in fine wool and silk with silver and gilded threads, the tapestries vividly depict scenes associated with a hunt for the elusive, magical unicorn. "The Unicorn in Captivity" may have been created as a single image rather than part of a series. In this instance, the unicorn probably represents the beloved tamed. He is tethered to a tree and constrained by a fence, but the chain is not secure and the fence is low enough to leap over: The unicorn could escape if he wished. Clearly, however, his confinement is a happy one, to which the ripe, seed-laden pomegranates in the tree—a medieval symbol of fertility and marriage—testify. The red stains on his flank do not appear to be blood, as there are no visible wounds like those in the hunting series; rather, th...

Vintage Monochrome Vintage Floral Ink - Ornamental Art Nouveau - Tree Symmetry - Vintage Black and Beige Print by DesignBohemian

ICYMI: 29.70 USD Art Nouveau is characterized by its distinctive undulating asymmetrical line, which frequently emulates the graceful curves of flower stalks, budding blooms, winding vine tendrils, delicate insect wings, and other sinuous elements found in nature. This line, whether exuding elegance and grace or possessing a dynamic and forceful whip-like energy, serves as the primary decorative feature of Art Nouveau. In the realm of graphic arts, this line takes precedence over all other visual elements such as form, texture, space, and color, subordinating them to its own ornamental effect.
