I'm so proud of my new icon.  I painted it myself as a hex for my new porch.  It uses traditional Pennsylvania Dutch design elements. I'm of that ethnicity, except the West Virginia variant.  :)
The Blue Eight-pointed Star signifies Hospitality.
The Green Rosette is good fortune.
The four hearts, I think of as the Four Minds of Love: Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity.  I am learning about Godly Love  from the Buddhist perspective of living saint, Thich Nhat Hanh.  :)
The sheaves of Wheat represent abundance, also Bread and Beer, since the porch is a place of welcoming guests. :)
The border is a rainbow of brown, red, yellow and green.  Usually an Amish border is plain brown, signifiying the bounds of earth, but I'm always more rainbow than that, and this has a bit of a Navaho, four directions type meaning -- so that hopefully the harmony will not just be on the porch but throughout the house, grounds, neighborhood, and near universe :)

Thanks so much everyone for your Fae-themed reccs yesterday.  I love new music.   I always lean toward music that is atmospheric, weird, gloomy, foreboding, magickal, which is why I'm a bit of a heavy metal fan.  :)

Here are some old favorites from my Fae playlist:
