HALLOWEEN JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT

By Lyndy Ward
Halloween magick was the ambrosia just before midnight,
A hush fell over the frolickers while watching the hand of slight,
Disappearing witches reappeared as black cats,
Ghouls & goblins shrinking into spiders then flying away as bats.

Oh what fun & laughter we all had,
Our journey home was happy mixed with sad,
Yet remembering tomorrow brings another day,
Filled with more reasons to beckon Halloween to stay...

*Sweet Halloween & Magickal Dreams*

LADY LYNDY SORCERESS OF LIGHT




*LADY LYNDY SORCERESS OF LIGHT*
*WHEN LIGHTNING STRUCK ON ONE HALLOWEEN NIGHT*
*DEAR ABBY & ELVIRA BECAME ONE WITH THE LIGHT*
*HAUNTINGLY YOURS, LADY LYNDY*

Each of the Four Sacred Seasons: Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumnal Equinox & Winter Solstice, Dear Lady Lyndy will present for your viewing pleasure answers to your questions received through blogging comments &/or email.

This Sacred Season is the Autumnial Equinox & the Topic is:
HALLOWEEN OOAK ARTWORK

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
What is OOAK ARTWORK anyway?
JASON FROM AUGUSTA MAINE

DEAR JASON FROM AUGUSTA MAINE,
Original One Of A Kind Artwork.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
I have a friend that recently bought an OOAK Halloween artwork only to find reproductions of the same piece by Department 56 at her local gift shop. What's up with that & how can she tell for sure if her artwork is truly OOAK?
MALIBU MARY

DEAR MALIBU MARY,
Your friend should have a COA Certificate Of Authenticity signed & dated by the Halloween artist as well as the artwork having been signed somewhere on the piece. Without some form of documentation, unless one knows the artist personally your friend may have a reproduction. Companies like Department 56, Hallmark, Disney, Franklin Mint, Ashton Drake, Danbury Mint, Bethany Lowe Designs, etc., have some of the best reproductions on the market today. In time even the reproductions will go up in value especially if there was a signed limited edition of what was produced.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
My mother recently passed away leaving me her entire collection of wooden hand carved Halloween black cats. I have absolutely no documentation & yes the cats are all signed. Where can I find information on what this Halloween black cat collection might be worth?
CINDY HOUSTON TX

DEAR CINDY HOUSTON TX,
My soulful condolences to you & yours. Check on the Internet by using tag words like HALLOWEEN BLACK CAT WOOD CARVED. Also eBay & other auction sites may be selling the very same cats. So check those sites as well with the tag words & the name signed on the cat collection.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
I'm a new artist wanting to sell my OOAK Halloween art work on the Internet. Would you recommend a website for my art work or just selling on an auction site like eBay?
HALLOWEEN MAN

DEAR HALLOWEEN MAN,
I would recommend both. During leaner times you can set up a website for selling your art work that did not sell on eBay as well as showcasing your new art work.

****************************

DEAR LADY LYNDY,
Is Halloween Original OOAK Artwork something that is just a fad or is it something that one should collect because it might go up in value?
MR. J. CHISUM

DEAR MR. J. CHISUM,
Halloween dates back to Celtic rituals thousands of years ago. Therefore Halloween OOAK Artwork will always be in vogue & not a fad. A vintage Victorian Louis Wain Black Cat OOAK Halloween Watercolor Painting recently sold on the auction block for $18,000.00. Today's Investment quality Halloween OOAK Artwork depending on expertise of the artist can garner hundreds of dollars, even thousands of dollars with a proven increase & faster return for the Halloween Art Collector.

****************************

Looking forward to the Winter Solstice & your questions received through blogging comments &/or email.

LADY LYNDY SORCERESS OF LIGHT is an advice column on COLLECTING HALLOWEEN OOAK ARTWORK.

FAVE HALLOWEEN CELEBRITY COSTUMES


The California wildfires are still blazing, yet I must move forward through Alice In Wonderland's rabbit hole...

With HALLOWEEN fast approaching what was your FAVE HALLOWEEN CELEBRITY COSTUME??? I loved doing what I did best, WONDER WOMAN! Doing??? YES, I did very minor publicity work as Wonder Woman for the Hollywood Look-A-Like Actor's Agency. So here is my FAVE HALLOWEEN CELEBRITY COSTUME...

Lynda Carter would say what in the HELL did she do??? My talent agent would say she signed autographs & jumped around like a SUPER HERO!!!

CAlIFORNIA WILDFIRES SMOKE-COLORED SUNSET


HALLOWEEN WILDFIRES
By Lyndy Ward

The sun sets on yet another smoke filled night,
Southlanders scurry to run from their plight,
So many of us hope for rain,
Yet nothing falls from the sky accept ashes & pain.

Castle dwellers say their possessions won't posses,
Nothing could be further from the truth since finding their burned nest,
Fresh air & clean blue skies are a thing of the past,
Only tears of hope from the knowledge that this won't last.

Don't let John Lennon's 'Coming Together' turn into a dream hallucination,
Without acknowledgment this becomes another global warming prediction,
Be aware of whence evil came,
Otherwise we all have only ourselves to blame.

Let the thick dark heavy velvet fog roll in,
Tomorrow the reapers day of reckoning will begin,
Dig yourself out from an early grave,
Let the breath of life be your soul you save.

Whisper softly to the wind show me the way,
Your guardian angel never left you & will always stay,
Spirits past, present, future like smoke intertwine,
You're not alone, you're part of humankind.

Look deep down into your lessons learned,
Were you a kind soul or a demon less concerned,
Halloween Wildfires we all have been there,
Listen with your heart & let your spirit care.

A gentle smile, a genuine hello, time heals sorrow, hugs heal pain,
Many before & many more will come, remember to tell them all knowledge is gain,
Hold onto your dreams, they cannot be burned or fade away,
Only unconditional love & truth can unlock the future & finally save the day.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ADDENDUM:
Save (if you can't) then hug a fur baby, cat, dog, bunny, horse, etc... These fur kids will always be the innocent spirits that will either perish or remain.

CALIFORNIA WILDFIRE SUNSET


Scary Salutations, I wanted my first blog to be about my favorite holiday HALLOWEEN, but a more important emergency situation is taking place in our own backyard. I feel the need to express my concerns.

It's been really scary around here in southern California with all the wildfires. On Sunday, October 21st, 2007 we had to call 911 to report yet another fire burning down the foot hills from our home. Thank God, the courageous fireman were already on this... The skies above our home have an ominous glow. AND breathing in the particulants are starting to make us all cough & sneeze with tearing stinging eyes.

Our heartfelt prayers are with all those unfortunate souls & spirits (animals & fauna included) that lost everything in these wildfires. It looks like a nuclear bomb went off everywhere. Our Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says to pray for rain & I agree.

Here's today's sunset 5:55 PM 10/23/07 photo taken from our backyard with the glow of the wildfires in the background.
