Description
Squirrels feature as messengers in both Norse and Celtic mythology. The squirrel Ratatosk runs up and down the world-tree Yggdrasil, delivering messages from the eagles in its canopy; the legendary Irish queeen Madbh is also frequently depicted with a bird and a squirrel at her shoulder, messengers of the sky and earth...
(a little noisier that i would like, but the LAMH catalyser squirrel is such a pain to work with, i couldn't bear to redo it!)

This is a real cute bit of storytelling. Squirrels really would make the perfect messengers.

This is delightful work, Joe! I've got a lot of those little 'messengers' around here, but they don't have much to say.
