Flying Eyeball Mugs
Description: Death moth – I decided to put an eye on it, instead of the classic skull. Because of reasons: The moth is a symbol of death and soul. In Slavic tradition butterflies and moths are believed to spirits of the deceased who visit their birth home forty days after they’ve died. Nighttime moths are often called Witches – there was a tradition where people would catch moths and maim them, so they could discover which woman was a witch. They would know this because the day after the maiming, witches would have the same injuries as moths. I’m more fascinated by moths used to tell who’s a witch, than moth as a symbol of death and spirit, and that is why I put an eye in this design instead of a skull (I spy with my little eye a little witch!)
