What she does is the contrary-she fastens their eyelids open, so they’re never again in the blessed darkness – Edith Wharton
Image of the Day: “Gorgon Queen” by Cookie Corvinus
Slither this way lovely lady
Today’s Enchantment Image of the Day summons us into a sanctum where myth and nightmare coil together, lit only by the tremor of flame. At its heart stands the Gorgon, adorned in the Gorgon Set from Faunus, her serpentine crown alive with menace, each scaled strand glimmering with its own terrible will. Her gaze is unflinching, a challenge cast in stone and shadow, and in her hands the weight of fate itself seems to tremble.
The scene unfolds within Somber Designs’ Ruined Castle Nook, its crumbling arches and chained walls echoing with the silence of the petrified. Around her burn the Ceremonial Candles by Mythic, their molten glow dripping like obsidian blood, casting the chamber in a light both sacred and profane. Each flame is a prayer, each shadow a curse, all of them bowing to her presence.
In this Nevermore round, where beauty sharpens into terror and allure into inevitability, the image captures the ancient truth: some figures are not meant to be followed, only worshipped—or feared. Like a whisper turning to a scream in the dark, the Gorgon offers not salvation but transformation, her power a spell no mortal gaze can survive… and yet one we cannot look away from..
