Ghost Merchants Ledger Entry - The Samhain Harbingers

The Samhain Harbingers are travelling spirits of the turning season.

They arrive at the threshold between autumn and winter, when the evenings draw in, lanterns are lit earlier, and the old year begins to loosen its hold. 

They are not omens of misfortune.
They are witnesses to change, quiet reminders that seasons turn, darkness passes, and you have weathered every hard thing that came before them. 

They stand watch at the edge of the year, keeping their own counsel, carrying with them the hush of late autumn and the strange comfort of familiar shadows.

— Entered into the Maker’s Ledger, 3rd Day of October, Under a Waning Moon.

Three handmade ghost figurines made by The Nordic Ghost Merchants in Denmark. The bodies of the ghosts are a grey and white smoky design. The bottom quarter are a dark pumpkin orange. Front view on a grey studio background.
