Artist's Comments
The Duirwaigh is the symbol of Duirwaigh Gallery, the inspired art gallery and publishing house for inspired mytho-poetic art.
About the name (This is from the Duirwaigh web site) Duirwaigh - pronounced DOORWAY - is just that. A Doorway. Our name, in Gaelic, means 'doorway' and our symbol is an oak tree with a door in it's trunk. The symbol hales from the enchanted hills of Britain and Eireann, where legend and lore are a part of everyday life. In the center of the deepest woods, shrouded in mist and mythos, stands an anceint oak tree. Always the host of higher beings, the oak tree spins it's tales for winged beings and unseen things...and for the occassional travel weary soul who happens across it's path. For those rare souls, a duirwaigh emerges. Not any ordinary doorway. This one is in it's trunk--and is a beckoning from the very tree itself into the realm of faerie and Beyond. The root of our cause and the root of our name is the same, and can be best understood in this passage from 'Celtic Origins' "In Celtic druidism there can be almost no more inportant tree than the oak. For the oak's Celtic name is Duir, etymologically linked to the root of Druid, and Druidical knowledge - Druis. In Gaelic, Draoidh is the word used for wise man or magician. Another root meaning of this word Duir is 'door'. The secret 'oaken door' features prominently in the mythology, appearing in Taliesin's poems several times. Through this magical door lay Initiation by the Faerie beings and the Wildfolk." *** Stock mostly from stockxchange, the sleeping girl's body is from Feastock [link] (thank you!) |

 reports, 16h 50m agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.59 WE.LOVE.ART.FEATURE.VII.HOLIDAY.SPECIAL.~allieweasley
