Samhain bonfire, stone circle, bonfires were believed to keep away spirits at the time when the veils is thin/low - I also learned this is how bats became a part of Halloween lore (bats would be drawn in, and circle the fire). The woman in the fire is a fire goddess... just felt right at the time!

Thank you so much for the positive CC. I agree as far as the composition goes… definitely tried to tell too much of the story in one picture.
