HALLOWEEN INSPIRATION

~ EGYPTIAN STYLE ~

This Halloween ... Embody the spirit of ancient Egypt as the magickal and mysterious Goddess Isis.

Isis’ themes are magic, harvest, dreams, divination, perspective, faithfulness, love, spirituality and destiny. Her symbols are bloodstones, amethyst, silver, myrrh, hawks and the moon.

Egyptians venerated Isis as the Queen of Sorcery, Life of the Nile, Mother Moon, and Protectress. Isis taught humankind the basic skills necessary to build civilizations, and She came to represent the powerful attributes of faithfulness, love, inner beauty, oracular insight, and spiritual awareness (to name just a few). She could also change Her followers’ destinies.

~ DISNEY STYLE ~

Get your revenge this Halloween by bringing villain Maleficent to life.

Maleficent is the main villain of Walt Disney's 1959 film Sleeping Beauty. She is characterized as the "Mistress of All Evil" who, after not being invited to a christening, curses the infant Princess Aurora to "prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die" before the sun sets on Aurora's sixteenth birthday.
