I just clicked what my favorite adaptation/version of Cinderella is. I mean, I kind of knew back then, but I didn't realize it because at the time Cinderella wasn't a story I was really interested about, and I hadn't gone into the entire Cinderella rabbit hole. But if you ask me what my favorite Cinderella retelling is, it is definitively the story of Emberella as presented by Terry Pratchett in his "Witches Abroad" novel.

Yes it is kind of a parody and deconstruction of the Cinderella story (and a quite excellent one at that), but it also works very well as its own fairytale - plus it literaly predicted/foresaw Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" 18 YEARS before the movie was released.... and while slapping so hard the face of the Disney company.

Yeah, Emberella is my favorite version of Cinderella.

New Orleans's famed Creole voodoo queen, Marie Laveau. She is here with her real-life pet snake Zombi, with voodoo dolls around her. Her likeness is based off a portrait that was painted after her death. She wears an alligator tooth necklace, and the Louisiana bayou is behind her. To watch step-by-step as I paint in the hazy bayou, please check out my new Youtube video, and share it with your friends!

A Meeting in the Bayou

Hey, people! This is for the @sambuckyhalloweenbingo for the prompt "Transformation". Enjoy! 🥰

A Meeting in the Bayou

| Pairing: SamBucky | Rated: T | WC: 1.7K |

Summary: Sam Wilson gets dared by his friends to hang out in the woods for ten minutes. There, he meets a mysterious young man.

Excerpt:

“Dare, huh?” asked Misty as she looked around for inspiration, taking a sip of her solo cup, “What about… the woods?” “The woods?” asked Sam, raising an eyebrow. “Yeah! The woods,” said Colleen, pointing her solo cup to the woods, “Ten minutes in the bayou, Sam.” “Sounds like the start of a horror film,” said Nat, shaking her head, “You can’t ask him to just walk into the woods.” “Hey. No. Dare is a dare. It’s not like I don’t know the woods next to my own house. It’s not even dark yet,” said Sam. There wasn’t really a fence between Sam’s backyard and the woods that backed up to his home. He spent most of his childhood exploring those woods with his siblings. He would be okay at the edge of the woods for ten minutes in broad daylight. “Better save me some of those cupcakes for when I return,” said Sam as he began walking to the tree line. “Will do!” yelled Misty as Sam made it into the woods.

Animal Divinity in the Bayou

Cajun and Creole mysticism can both be traced, at least in part, to practices which heavily feature animals. The belief that the Earth and her creatures are all one can be found time and time again in many of the magical customs and communities which persist in Louisiana.

This is what my swampy animal messengers mean to me.

💫🐸🐊🐠🦐🦟️🐺💫

DISCLAIMER: the following symbolism and associations stem largely from my own personal practice and do not necessarily represent any specific group or practice. I am from Louisiana and I actively work with and research practitioners and practices from here, but there is a great deal of magical diversity in the swamp. Some of these are also categories of animals and should be looked at as umbrella terms. Take what resonates and leave what does not. <3

ALLIGATORS: strength, power, maternal instincts, fertility, protection, sleeper build, queen, a period of rest, the underworld, dark internal energy, balance of dark and light

FROGS: movement especially of home or environment, sensitivity especially to light or emotional, baggage, music (as in a career or love for), luck, fortune, addiction, disregarding messages (being stubborn), friendly warning, new connections

LIZARDS: (especially when seen on and around front doors!) death (typically not literal but spiritual or circumstantial), family, kin, illness in the family, deception, hidden truth, an upcoming search for something, desperation, a call to intuitive practices, change in sibling dynamics

FISH: (specifically black water fish like gar, pirate perch, black bullhead, and flier) financial hardship, display, commiserating, incoming connection, encouragement, movement (esp spiritual, like enlightenment or persevering through difficult work), toughness, dawn, new beginnings, opportunity, community, found family

SHRIMP: childhood, knowledge, the feeling of being unseen and/or unheard, coziness, friendship, new friends, high intelligence, fear of intelligence, jealousy, exhaustion, isolation, bullying, misunderstandings

CRAWFISH: parties, tender love, the heart chakra, romance, passion, speaking (as in a career or a passion), opening up, exploring new things, getting unstuck, being pulled out of the mud, sweeping generalizations, spreading your light, telling your truth

MOSQUITOS: gossip, telling stories, tall tales, being watched, the devil (as in tarot), masculine energy, warning of a psychic vampire in your midst, fog, confusion, rain, loss, interruption

LOUP GAROU: trickery, illusions, light-heartedness, smiling and laughter, fear of the unknown, unwarranted fears, an indication to take a pause and reassess, masks, shiny objects, looking the wrong way, choosing the lesser of two evils, loudness, shrouded in darkness, mystery

Tell me what you think, and let me know what animal messengers have surprising associations where you're from!

yasmin had just left the herb shop before the lights went out . the lights turned off like a dominion effect ;; one by one before the bayou witch was left in the darkness . however , yamin had lived in new orleans all her life so she knew parts of the city like the back of her hand . " vis sera portus de la bête à moi . " she breathed , a simple spell that allowed her evergreen hues to see even during the darkest of nights . crossing the street yasmin went down the alleyway so she could take the back way home .
