Magpie Spy You

Murder Of Birds

Yesterday the saints reigned all day, and a friend of a fellow fiend turned my head as it poured. What did I spy?

    The funereal link was posted with you in mind. So glad you saw it. One day I might write about the magpie that died (I think I killed it, with kindness) and the overwhelming guilt I’ve felt ever since. The bird is a powerful symbol in my personal bestiary.

    Please do write. Gets me thinking it would nice to collect up some accounts of peoples experiences with this strange creature and publish as a little collection. x

    Who’s the friend and fiend or are they one and the same?

    I clicked but my interest was taken by the pic of a graceful grinning monster on the same site. Its toothy smile beckoning a closer deathly look.

    OK, now I want to know which site Jo clicked on and what she saw.

    As for magpies… my scavenging eye was caught exactly one year ago today by this cover art for Rose Kemp’s Unholy Majesty album. Then a few months later I read this great interview, in which she talks about the cover artwork and the mythology behind the magpie.

    It feels at home in a GREAT blue background with a WHITE light shinning from the surface.
    Can you guess what it is yet??
    Sorry woke up in a odd mood today, can you tell ;0)

    Tis on the same site as Mr Crook was on. Click on his spy link and look to your right and you will see. x

    Duh. I must have been in an odd mood yesterday, because I looked straight through that picture without seeing it.
