Halloween is a holiday my friend Michael and I celebrated together; liking all things 'ooky and spooky'. Totems and symbols. This year he is not with us and at first, I wasn't in the mood to do a collage, but then if just felt right to celebrate with him the day of the thinning of the veil, opening into other realms.
This collage includes an 'icon' of Michael with glorious bat wings; bats being one of his totems. I began these Michael icons at Christmas, before his passing. I'm not sure he ever saw the card I sent him in Yule costume. Since then his icon has shown up in collages and cards in various guises. Interestingly to me, they are based on a somewhat recent photo Michael sent me, but with time and distance, I never actually was with him looking this way. Yet, it seems a perfect way to hold and honor his energy.

This is a very personal collage of mine, first created several years ago and updated a couple of times. My sister, Jacqui is an 'update' and she is prominent in the front. Behind her is Michael as how I most remember him.
