I mean they are lovely pictures but I find them Very creepy
He has put them on the wall next to our bed

They look creepy to me & I wouldn't have them in the house.

Unless you've expressed an interest in witchcraft I can't see why he would have ever seen those & thought of you.

AssumingDirectControl · 19/10/2022 12:55

Yeah they’re Lisa Parker. I like them but wouldn’t have them on my walls. Just be honest, OP, you have to live in the house!

The pendant the cat is wearing is a pentagram. It is not satanic, its a symbol of protection. People think its satanic because it is shown that way in horror films. There is no Satan in witchcraft, Satan is a Christian concept.

As to the art, I just don't like it much, and if you don't either don't have it in your house. Your home should reflect your tastes and not contain anything that makes you uncomfortable.

They're kind of cute for Halloween 🎃 They aren't to my taste, they remind me of those galaxy wolf shirts all the emo kids used to wear

ReneBumsWombats · 19/10/2022 12:56

I don't find them creepy, just really corny.

LemonSwan · 19/10/2022 12:57

Just do a ‘redecoration’ get a new duvet cover etc. Say your going with an autumn vibe or want something to brighten up the darker months. Disappear them 😂

Laiste · 19/10/2022 12:58

I have this on my bedroom wall 😊

reminds me of Anne Stokes stuff, Gothic art I think it is.

closingloop · 19/10/2022 12:58

Wait until November and then put them away as 'halloween decorations' and stick something new in their place.

BringMeTea · 19/10/2022 12:59

Is he fond of a wolef on a fleece?

Thanks for the sudden memory of my teenage fashion faux-pas 😂

DeanStockwelll · 19/10/2022 13:00

I really like the one on the right.
The one on the left isn't to my tastes but there is nothing wrong with it

Laiste · 19/10/2022 13:00

Actually in my one it's a different breed and it's sitting on her lap - but you get the gist. I love it!

mamabear715 · 19/10/2022 13:00

They are just witchy, not creepy!

Ladgrags · 19/10/2022 13:00

Oh hell no. Literally! That fluffy one can see right into my soul through my phone screen! 👀

TheYearOfSmallThings · 19/10/2022 13:01

I wouldn't say creepy but they wouldn't be to everyone's taste.

xogossipgirlxo · 19/10/2022 13:01

Perfect for Halloween. Cats that judge you.

knackeredcat · 19/10/2022 13:02

They're the sort of things I used to hide from my late (and very RC) Mum! I still have a few bits like this but I'm a bit on the woo side. But agree they shouldn't be foisted on you if not to your taste, OP

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 19/10/2022 13:03

I like the last one. The first one is ok

Calandor · 19/10/2022 13:03

It's a pentagram - not necessarily satanic but it is pagan, generally Wiccan.

They're Halloween decorations

misskatamari · 19/10/2022 13:05

Omg to the one with the mirror face!! I wouldn’t be sleeping again if that was watching me!

heathspeedwell · 19/10/2022 13:05

Does he wear a fleece with a howling wolf on the back?

misskatamari · 19/10/2022 13:06

And honestly, it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. And you don’t have to ask your boyfriends permission to remove these! It’s your house! Do you like them? Do you want them by the bed? That’s the only thing that matters. If you do, keep them, if you don’t, take them down and get rid

Bubblesandsqueak1 · 19/10/2022 13:07

I personally love them and would buy them myself find out where they are from haha

Josette77 · 19/10/2022 13:07

Obsessed. I love them.
