My final prompt for Artober is here!!! 🎃
Samhain/Samhainn is a Celtic festival from which Halloween is derived.
Samhain originated in Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man. (Thanks to @kennyboyleofficial I know not to omit it! 🤗)
On the 31st night of October, the barrier between our world and the spirits' world is thinning, allowing for visits!
I wanted to include Samhain elements in my drawing, as well as the deer. This lady is calling upon spirits of the departed, while protecting against evil ones with her chanting. ✨🔥
Thank you for sticking with me until the last prompt! 😊

Happy Samhain / Halloween everyone! 🤗🎃

The sketch for this drawing!
It didn't take very long and drawing the deer antlers was very satisfying!

But more importantly, why did I choose Samhain?
That's because I fell in love with Scotland and its folklore and I wish to visit during Samhain one day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨

Plus, we do have remnants of our Celtic heritage in France, mainly in Brittany (Bretagne).
Not too long ago, we sent singers to Eurovision that sang in French Gaelic, which was pretty cool!!! 🔥
If you feel like it, do check out the song Fulenn (Spark) by Alvan & Ahez! 😆
