Sign up for our newsletter (about once a month) here - always with special offers.

We run a design studio and small-press publishing company in the centre of Prague - very near to the castle and surrounded by weird and wonderful Baroque sgraffito pictures of mermaids cavorting with opium poppies and lambs (those Baroque Bohemians certainly knew how to put an image together.)
We unashamedly love decoration (Modernist minimalism was simply lovely - but dead as the dodo for us now), myth, magic, symbolism, surrealism, fairytales and magic. We also have a bit of a soft spot for vampires, cats and naturally vampire cats.

Baba Store, our main shop - unique cards, books, textiles, bags and more (and more and more... we have lots of new designs for 2009)
Our Etsy shop (sometimes with "one-offs")

The Tarot of Prague - voted "Deck of the Year" 2004

The Devil is a title given to the supernatural being, who, in mainstream Christianity, Islam, and other religions, is believed to be a powerful, evil entity and the tempter of humankind. The Devil is commonly associated with heretics, infidels, and other unbelievers. In mainstream Christianity, God and the Devil are usually portrayed as fighting over the souls of humans, with the Devil seeking to lure people away from God and into Sheol. The Devil commands a force of lesser evil spirits, commonly known as demons. The name "Devil" derives from the Greek word diabolos, which means "slanderer" or "accuser". The Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) does not assign this level of personification to a devil; there, the Adversary is a servant of God whose job it is to test humankind.



In the Western Christian tradition, the Devil has entered popular folklore, particularly in his role as a trickster figure. As such, he is found as a character in a wide number of traditional folktales and legends from Ireland, Newfoundland, Italy and the United Kingdom, where he often attempts to trick or outwit other characters. In some of these tales, the Devil is portrayed as more of a folk villain than as the personification of evil.Christian tradition has frequently identified pagan religions and witchcraft with the influence of Satan. In fact few neopagan traditions recognize Satan or the Devil per se. However, many neopagan groups worship some sort of Horned God, for example as a consort of the Great Goddess in Witchcraft.

There's been a death in the opposite house?As lately as to-day.?I know it by the numb look?Such houses have alway.

??The neighbors rustle in and out,?The doctor drives away.?A window opens like a pod,?Abrupt, mechanically;

??Somebody flings a mattress out,--?The children hurry by;?They wonder if It died on that,--?I used to when a boy.

??The minister goes stiffly in?As if the house were his,?And he owned all the mourners now,?And little boys besides;

??And then the milliner, and the man?Of the appalling trade,?To take the measure of the house.?There'll be that dark parade

??Of tassels and of coaches soon;?It's easy as a sign,--?The intuition of the news?In just a country town.(ED)


~ Have a lovely week my friend. Thank you for the visit and please do drop by again very soon won't you?~Wendy~

Hello baba!

What fun to come say hi to you on your site!

I am drifting and dreaming in your fantastic world. So wonderful!

Have you seen my favorite movie, My Twentieth Century, which came out in 1992 or so? Enchanting. I hope you have a chance to see it sometime. I think you would love the style!

Well, anyway, you have a convert here!

Be well!

Calendar blue moons occur infrequently, and the saying once in a blue moon is used to describe a rare event.
However, they are inevitable because of the mis-match between the solar and lunar cycles. Each calendar year contains twelve full lunar cycles, plus about eleven days to spare.
The extra days accumulate, so that while most years contain twelve full moons to match the twelve months, every two or three years there is a year with thirteen full moons.
On average, this happens once every 2.72 years.

When there are thirteen moons in a year, twelve of them are given the twelve traditional names associated with that time of year (the names vary from culture to culture), and the extra one is termed a blue moon.
Which of the thirteen moons is termed 'blue' depends on whether it is calculated by the old or the new method.

The months of the Gregorian calendar are all very close to the 29.5306-day period of the moon's phases: the synodic month, or lunation.
Most of the months are longer than this by one or two days, except February, which is the only month which cannot contain a calendar blue moon.
Since February is one or two days shorter than the moon's cycle, very occasionally it has no full moon – there is a full moon at the end of January, and the next one is at the beginning of March.
What this means is that both January and March will have blue moons. This happens, on average, once every thirty-five years.

The next two calendar blue moons (based on UTC) will be on June 30, 2007 (but May 31, 2007 in the Western Hemisphere, and December 31, 2009.
Because February, according to UTC, will have no full moon in 2018, January and March will each have a calendar blue moon that year.~Wilkipedia~ Blue Moon ~ Gaze at the Moo
