Incense
Sweet melody amidst the moving spheres
“Music” – Bessie Rayner Parkes
Breaks forth, a solemn and entrancing sound,
A harmony whereof the earth’s green hills
Give but the faintest echo; yet is there
A music everywhere, and concert sweet!
All birds which sing amidst the forest deep
Till the flowers listen with unfolded bells;
All winds that murmur over summer grass,
Or curl the waves upon the pebbly shore;
Chiefly all earnest human voices rais’d
In charity and for the cause of truth,
Mingle together in one sacred chord,
And float, a grateful incense, up to the Gods.
You look fabulous, especially agsinst the greenery of the forest.
Thank you, Miss Scarlet <3
I love your outdoor photographs and this is fabulous – bright colours and bold movement.
Such a strong image.

Tooooo cool
Love the gothic witch aspects to the sensual
Thank you <3
The concentration in your eyes grabs me first, then I wander down. Your costume is amazingly beautiful.
Thank you, Elliott <3
I love the ritual feel to this photo. I feel like I’ve walked in on something very important taking place and am hiding to absorb some of the magick.
Thank you! That was exactly the kind of vibe that I wanted to create!
You have me under your spell as the incense winds thru my body as i stare at your beautiful image.
Great pic

You look like a sorcerer casting spells. What did you use to create the smoke?

Thanks, ha! I am holding the incense so that is where the smoke is coming from! I used one of these big sage ones that wiccans and such use to cleanse their homes.
Stunning image, Devie. I’m not fond of the smell of incense, but I love how the smoke from it seems to add magic to your image 🙂

Thank you Marie! I am a bit oversensitive to most incense, but sage usually works for me.
