In this enchanted forest, nothing is quite what it seems—and some creatures speak only when you’re finally quiet enough to listen.

This design draws from an exquisite 1911 illustration in Giambattista Basile’s Pentamerone, one of the earliest and most influential fairy tale collections in Western Europe. The scene is painted like a dream: a woman with flowing white hair and a gown like jeweled moss rests against a tree, deep in conversation with a fox cloaked in knowing stillness.

The composition is lush with mythic balance. On the outer panels, the woman and fox rest beneath a tree whose golden leaves cascade like falling secrets. On the inner panels, their gaze locks—intimate, curious, utterly still—as though the fox has just said something it shouldn’t, or is about to. The top panels are a crown of autumn leaves, soft and shadowed, inviting you beneath the canopy of the story.

Wonders Whispered About These Wares

Powers Bestowed Upon the Possessor

Tongue of the Listening Beasts
The wearer gains the ability to hear what is unspoken—gestures, silences, and glances reveal their true meaning.

Stillness That Draws the Wild
Summons moments of uncanny calm that draw others in, making animals linger and strangers confess.

Gift of the Gilded Grove
Grants safe passage through metaphorical forests—whether of confusion, transition, or grief—guided by instinct and myth.

Jaded Lament Discovery Note

Among the Laments, this pair is spoken of in hushed tones. Some say the fox tells you things in your sleep—odd truths, old riddles. Others claim the wearer becomes better at silence, patience, and hearing what isn’t said. One Lament wrote an entire novel after wearing these. It was unreadable, but luminous.

Why the Laments Loved This Artifact

  • Drawn from an illustration in Stories from the Pentamerone (1911), the pre-Grimm Italian fairy tale masterpiece
  • Features a rich narrative tableau of human-animal intimacy and symbolic woodland stillness
  • The fox is more than décor—it’s a character, a riddle, a co-conspirator
  • Gown and tree branch textures feel tactile, layered, and alive
  • Ideal for deep introverts, spell-whisperers, and those who keep their best thoughts to themselves

Adored By (and Designed For)

  • Lovers of fairy tales, folklore, and forest magic
  • Readers of The Bloody Chamber, Grimm, Pentamerone, and lush Italian myth
  • Those who feel like they’re always mid-conversation with a creature no one else sees
  • Wearers who collect art that feels like an unfinished spell
  • Fans of storybook illustration, velvet-tone fantasy, and sly symbolism

These Vibes Shall Be the Emanation
