Gravedigging Nuns
I know this is kind of an odd digression from my usual pagan insanity. But something about this really gets me. The themes are all there. And the expressions on these ladies’ faces… damn.
John Everett Millais, The Vale of Rest, 1858
Millais was an English Pre-Raphaelite. You may be more familiar with his Ophelia or The Princes in the Tower.

I love nuns.
It’s impossible to articulate why, but I do.
They are intriguing, aren’t they. Of course, some nuns are inevitably going to be lame. But these ones are pretty awesome, say I.
They’re definitely badass, to be sure!
