Some close-ups of my Popshot Magazine illustration. Here’s a run-down of the symbolism included:3 CROWS: according to the old British rhyme we see ‘three crows for a murder’. Also - as a shamanistic power animal - the crow represents Sacred Law. Apparently, if you align with the crow you are instilled with the wisdom to know yourself beyond the limitations of one-dimensional thinking and laws and learn to trust your intuition.⠀.⠀BUTTERFLY: soul, transformation, resurrection, and hope.⠀.⠀THYME: courage and strength.⠀.⠀The bike helmet and the saucepan reference parts of the story.⠀.CYCLAMEN FLOWERS: resignation and goodbye.⠀.EYES: representing Aoife’s prophetic foresight.⠀.THE MOON: the moon has a multitude of meanings but in this piece, it can be interpreted as the power of women, mystery and intuition. ⠀.The waxing and waning moons have their own specific interpretations as well: WANING CRESCENT: stands for letting go, surrender, and contemplation.⠀.WAXING CRESCENT: stands for growth and manifestation.⠀.The woman in the fire represents a major part of the story. The fire also represents creation, destruction and transformation. This fire in the story destroys but also leaves us with hope for a positive transformation..⠀SKULL: obviously death and mortality.⠀.PEONIES: as well as featuring in the story itself, Peonies represent honour and romantic love.⠀.BEE: a bee represents the brittleness of life and our helplessness in the face of destiny.⠀.The wineglass and journal are objects from the story.⠀ -- source link
