Congratulations! The contest turned out to be an amazing idea. It was easy to determine the winners. So many wonderful answers. Thank you all so much! But the top three are…
1st Place – Thalia Took of Amused Grace – She was the first person to say that Photo #1 was a horse. Now I’m cheating a little bit here. NO ONE saw what I saw. What I saw, immediately, was a Bull, the Bull of Mithras to be exact. But then I thought, hmmm, maybe it’s a horse. Since two people saw my second thought on that image I went with horse for the winner. But for me? It is a bull. At Hekate’s Night I was given a xeroxed compilation of many Greek and Roman odes to Hekate. And in them they call the bull, the bull of Mithras, and Hermes bull. Yes, Bull it is.
2nd Place – Katherine Barich – She saw Hathor in Photo #4 and there is no doubt about it. I saw Hathor’s crown of the horns of the moon with the full moon between but didn’t see the face. I knew that photo was talking to me but it took Katherine to point Hathor out. Undeniably there.
3rd Place – Turtleheart – Made me laugh my ass off with the insect with the Wonder Bread Sandwich in Photo #1. A few people saw insects but I just didn’t and still don’t. But man, this cracked me up.
Honorable Mention – My bro got the second huge guffaw from me as he and I walked through each photo imagining that I’d just taken a huge bong toke. And while it rivaled Turtleheart for a hearty laugh fest, my bro gets stuff from me and always will but he deserved commentary.
Prizes: Please look over the prizes at my Esty Store and send me a comment with your choice.

Photo #3 – a witch on a broom with a really tall hat and a pale skull behind my head
Photo #4 – horns of the moon with a full moon and now Hathor
Photo #5 – horse and rider
Photo #6 – angel
Photo #7 – not a darned thing
Photo #8 – a veiled woman with her chin in her hand thinking
Photo #8 – angelic being, jesus?
Photo #10 – imp
Yay! Oh, this is wicked awesome (to use a New Englandism). They’re all so beautiful and nicely made, so it’s hard to choose, but I’m going to go with the stag pouch.
Thank you!
(And yay!)
Cool! I love surprises. I know whatever you send is going to be absolutely gorgeous. Thank you!
At long last, I finally replied to the six random things post you tagged me on!!!
I hope all is good with you!
I’ve been waiting for you to emerge from the chaos that is moving. What I would love is for you to carry a set of earrings with you, and at some moment of inspiration, pass the ones you chose on to a person who needs a gesture of kindness.
I used spiritual eyes to try to see into the pictures, and in this life I have made a vow not to accept physical gifts for using gifts of the spirit. I’d be so happy at the thought of an unbidden kindness to a soul who needed a little hug.
And, I’m really interested if you could see the things I saw when you looked with my list.
What a nice gesture. Done. 🙂
