The Lunar Mansion Fairytales
Last September, I completed an analysis of the first six Vedic Nakshatras framed through the lens of Fairytales.
Inspired by the work of Claire Nakti, I followed her first initiation sequence of the Vimshottari Lordship Cycle, from Ashvini to Ardra.

I’m sharing this work here for the first time, as I recently discovered a dark fairytale creature echoing the archetype of Ashwini that reminded me of the project.
That figure is the Dullahan — a Celtic headless horseman.
Unlike the American legend, the Dullahan carries a deeper resonance with Ketu, the Ruler of Ashwini.
The Dullahan is described as a wicked aristocrat cursed upon his death, warded off by gold, dragging chains through the streets at night, looking for the next victim to deliver to his master, the God of Death.
When I return to complete the remaining star signs, I may update the Ashwini narrative from the Headless Horseman to the Dullahan. For now, I leave you with the remaining pages of the Lunar Mansion Fairytales I created last year.
