Artist's Comments
In the Celtic tradition, Queen Mab was also known as Queen Maeve. "Maeve" means mead and it was said that Mab gave this blood red wine to all of her consorts. Mead wine represented menstrual blood which was considered "the wine of women's wisdom". In Warwickshire, the word "Mabled" came to mean "led astray by the faeries or elves". In Cymric (the Welsh language) Mab was defined as meaning "small child". Additionally, Mab meant "Drunk Woman" and "Queen Wolf".
Mythologically, Mab was the Queen of Connact; the warrior queen of the Ulster Cycle. She was the combined mother/warrior aspect of the Triple Goddess. The Pagan festival of Mabon was celebrated in her honor each year at the Autumnal Equinox. During the festival, those wishing to be King were not endorsed unless Mab invited them to drink of her mead wine. This ensured that the male king would be well versed in feminism and women's mysteries. Queen Mab has enticed many to write about her in fiction. Earl Spencer wrote "The Fairy Queen" in which she appeared. One of the most notable references to Mab is in the speech by Mercutio in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet taken from [link] LineArt [link] all the wonderful stockists who helped by letting me use their stock textures thank you for this valuable service  corset pattern by:  [link]wings by: [link] bark texture by:  [link] &  [link]dress texture by:  [link] & [link]thimble texture by:  [link]rocks texture by:  [link]ground texture by: [link]also thanks too  for the inspiration on the texture |

You do a great job working on the intuitive level, but you really shine when you think about it.
