It was indeed the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, but Algy suspected that neither mists nor fruitfulness were quite what the English poet Keats had in mind…

However, the fruitfulness of the local rowan trees was greatly appreciated by many of Algy's feathered friends, if not by poets, to the extent that by the time Algy decided to help himself to a wee feast he found that there were only a few scattered clusters of the tempting red berries left 😞

As he relaxed in the arms of the welcoming tree, munching happily, Algy wondered how many of his friends around the world knew how important the rowan tree is in Scotland and in Celtic mythology, and why so many rowan trees are planted at the doors or gates to people's homes in this part of the world.

He recalled a wee poem in the Scots language which explains it well:

When the days were still as deith And you couldna see the kye Though ye’d maybe hear their breith I’ the mist oot-by; When I’d mind the lang grey een O’ the warlock by the hill And sit fleggit like a wean Gin a whaup cried shrill; Tho’ the hert wad dee in me At the fitstep on the floor, There was aye a rowan tree Wi its airm across the door.

Which translates into English roughly as:

When the days were still as death And you couldn’t see the cows Though you’d maybe hear their breath In the mist outside; When I’d think of the long grey eyes Of the warlock on the hill And sit frightened like an infant If a curlew cried shrilly; Though the heart would die within me At the footstep on the floor, There was always a rowan tree With its arm across the door.

But then, when the rowan tree is gone:

But that is far, far past And a’thing’s just the same, There’s a whisper up the blast O’ a dreid I daurna name; And the shilpit sun is thin, Like an auld man deein’ slow And a shade comes creepin’ in When the fire is fa’in’ low; Then I feel thae lang een set Like a doom upon ma heid, For the warlock’s livin’ yet— But the rowan’s deid!

Which translates (roughly):

But that is long, long past And everything’s just the same There’s a whisper in the wind Of a dread I dare not name; And the sickly sun is thin, Like an old man dying slowly And a shadow comes creeping in When the fire is getting low; Then I feel the long eyes settle Like a doom [death sentence] upon my head, For the warlock’s living yet- But the rowan’s dead!

Fortunately, there are many rowan trees planted around Algy's assistants' garden and by their gate, so Algy need not fear the warlock by the hill 😀

[Algy is quoting the poem The Rowan by the early 20th century Scottish poet Violet Jacob.]

Notes: (1) Algy thinks that the use of the term warlock here is not the common one of a male witch who casts spells, but the more symbolic one in folklore, where warlocks are evil supernatural beings associated with darkness, death, and the devil. (2)Algy is not quite sure about some parts of his translation of the second stanza of the poem, so if anyone is able to correct it, please let him know!

Toxic Consequences AU fanart for @tealmaskmybeloved

I had a lot of fun adding some designs to Carmine's outfit cause I felt it was a little lackluster compared to Kieran's, though I still like it either way!

Expect more fanart to come soon, hehe!!

Want art from me? My commissions are open!
