Breathless after the Femme Division at @thearmoredleague last night at @3dollarbillbk ! 💛✨ A treat to watch everyone match steel and wits in the cage. The championship fight might have been my favorite (👏 @eris.ayra 👑@nonbinary_ninja 👏 absolutely electric behavior), yet all the fine knights were divine. Be sure to catch them when you can! (& Did you catch me? I know more than a few intrepid heroes won their keys from me last night… 🩵❄️)

The Winter’s Doe on a summer’s night 🩵❄️

A gorgeous day for @bunniebunnz fairy picnic in the park. I had the honor of officiating a handfasting for her vow renewal and it was the most! Her husband’s vow was so beautiful. Time well spent among old friends and new. Thank you @niyyanextlevel for the video! Cheers to all Fellows in attendance @amberishcelestial @kelvindalymusicalinstruments @nemothefair @joshh_gg99 and many more! taken in Queensbridge Park by @thewintersdoe

A messenger from the Otherworld, a spirit of fate that lures mortals from their path. Some believe I lead to wisdom or to what their hearts desire. Others say it leads only to silence and to endless trees. The white deer cannot be caught or claimed. It vanishes when grasped as all wild things do… by @thewintersdoe

QUEST NOTICE ❄️ On Sunday, September 20th, come step into my winter wonderland. There, you will search for the divine right to choose among secrets. Do you have one to unburden? Or one just to laugh and lay bare? Or perhaps, a desire that eats at you, longing for a secret to share?

Sunday, September 20, 2026, at 6PM & 8PM
at Green Lung Studio, Brooklyn, NYC
Free entry, but limited availability

MORE INFO:
Organized by Jacquelyn Marie Shannon and inspired by anthropologist Michael Taussig’s framing of magic as “a skilled revelation of skilled concealment,” this immersive event explores secrecy as a social practice.

Drawing on research with occult communities, the event is across 2 floors and features artist-practitioners who employ relational forms of concealment, including magicians, mediums, witches, hypnotists, death doulas, sex workers, dream workers, and more. taken in Green Lung Studio by @thewintersdoe

I’ve been told by a few intrepid humans that this voice is what they think of when I ask if they’d like to play a game…

FAIRY BANQUET @shadow_traffic brought Seelie Court shenanigans to Prospect Park as a part of their Cryptid Safari. We love to bring the Otherworld to you, whimsy where you least expect it. You may have seen us down by the water with many a refreshing drink and snack… if you dared to shirk the warnings. So appreciate to my fellow fae @kelvindalymusicalinstruments the bard and @amberishcelestial the harpist for their valuable contributions. 💛✨🩵❄️ taken in Prospect Park by @thewintersdoe
