The original Halloween art in this set was individually created by David Jonathan Lavin from 2014 to 2015 to capture the meaning, mystery and childhood anticipation of Halloween night – Moon Hollow’s favorite night of the year for flying. Each piece represents something special to us. For instance, note how the image of a maple leaf appears as its own painting and then again discreetly in the mouth of the baby owl in the painting You Are Not Alone. This leaf is a symbol of our dear mother. It is a reminder that loved ones remain nearby, even more powerfully once they have passed. The house is Salem’s infamous Witch House, home to Jonathan Corwin, Esq., one of many magistrates involved in the notorious witchcraft trials of 1692. The only building still standing with direct ties to the hysteria, it remains a tribute to those affected by the tragedy. The waxing crescent moon is symbolic of the energy that expands from the New Moon to the Full, reminding us to set our intentions for what we want to have happen in the future. The witch flying over Salem’s moonlit sky elicits those magical Halloween nights in which we swear that shadow we’ve seen out of the corner of our eyes was something supernatural crossing the sky. After all, traveling from here to there on a broom was the original way to fly. The symbols of this set mean something to us, and we gather, if you’ve purchased this, they do to you too. So, whether you celebrate All Hallow’s Eve once yearly, or this art finds a way into your heart and home throughout the year, may your Halloween be filled with magic and faith in the unseen. Only remember to bring your broom. You’ll need it to fly.
Each set includes 9 handcrafted magnets of various Halloween colors in a hinged metal tin. (NOTE: each magnet set includes an autographed information card on the artwork)
