Today we introduce the Pegasus. Once again @gaby_spencer_art has created something with both nobility and wonder.

Pegasus in myth: Pegasus is a legendary winged horse from Greek myth, born from the blood of Medusa when she was slain by the hero Perseus. Symbolising inspiration, freedom, and divine power, Pegasus was closely linked to the gods, especially Zeus, for whom he carried thunderbolts to Mount Olympus. In many legends, Pegasus also represents poetic inspiration and wisdom, as his hoof was said to strike the ground and create the spring of the Muses. Over time, the image of Pegasus spread beyond Greece, becoming a lasting symbol of imagination, heroism, and the power of myth itself.

Let us introduce you to the Raven. Once again the amazing talent of @gaby_spencer_art takes our breath away.

In myth and legend, the raven is a powerful and mysterious figure, often seen as a symbol of intelligence, transformation, and prophecy. In Norse mythology, the god Odin is accompanied by two ravens, Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory), who fly across the world and bring him knowledge. Celtic lore often associates the raven with battle and fate, linked to warrior goddesses like the Morrigan. Across cultures, the raven stands at the crossroads between life and death, wisdom and mystery, making it one of the most enduring and complex symbols in folklore.

Kindred Spirits will be coming to @backerkit this May please give the campaign a follow below.

Today we introduce the Hare. @gaby_spencer_art has produced this wonderful Hare for Kindred Spirits.

The hare appears widely in mythology and folklore as a powerful symbol of fertility, intuition, transformation, and the moon.
In many European traditions, especially in Celtic mythology, the hare is linked to the moon and to the Otherworld. It was considered a magical creature, sometimes believed to be a witch in disguise. In Irish and Scottish folklore, harming a hare could bring bad luck because it might be a shape-shifter.
In Chinese mythology, the hare is associated with the Moon through the legend of the Jade Rabbit, who lives on the moon with Chang’e, endlessly pounding the elixir of immortality.

Today we introduce the Tiger - Gaby has done an amazing job. Do you think she has captured the nobility of the Tiger?

The tiger as a spirit animal represents raw power, courage, and deep personal strength. It symbolises confidence without arrogance, knowing when to act boldly and when to move in silence. Guided by instinct and intuition, the tiger encourages you to trust yourself. When the tiger appears as a spirit animal, it’s often a reminder that you already carry the strength you need to face challenges.

Forest Folk launches at @tabletopscot and honestly we cannot wait to share it with you. Here is a little teaser to show off some of the incredible artwork from Kathryn Davis. You'll even be able to pick up some art prints between the 6th and 8th of September. A card game where players share the forest but have the opportunity to preserve their personal copse. You'll need to make the most of your 4 turns in this game to ensure you come out on top.
