Ancestors Awakening

Inspiration for this piece came while reading about the beliefs of aboriginal cultures in Australia. Their stories describe sacred ancestral beings who during the time called The Dreaming were believed to create very significant and meaningful sacred sites. Ancestors traversed the continent, traveling across the land and the sky marking it with songlines. Those paths are recorded in traditional song cycles, stories, dance, art, and are often the basis of ceremonies.  Learning about this sparked my imagination and big curiosity to explore further through my own art and storytelling.

Look, first snowflakes fall from the sky like shimmering diamonds carried by the north wind. The last petals slip away to join in swirling dance. And in this fleeting moment just between the worlds, the great parade begins making way for Her arrival. Do you hear that sound? Like gentle cracks of ice touched by the rays of the sun. It’s shy Frost, the white artist, who tells stories of Her beauty. When you see his silver flowers blooming on the glass and frozen fractals speeding up the dance… better go inside for the Pale Lady is close. Nature bends under her cold touch and all around freezes at her command. Lost to the warmth of the sun like porcelain her skin. The Queen of a silent kingdom with eyes of piercing hue. All creatures bow to pristine beauty beyond this world. From soft mist she emerges covered in a white veil with a winter rose in her hands. Once a year when her time comes, she walks across the lands in search of a kindred soul. Are you the one who matches her heart?

Ancient stories tell of flowers that bloom only under the pale glow of the full moon. It is told that they are a source of powerful, old Magic. Their roots like silver threads travel beneath the surface of the world where an invisible force awaits. Sweet, luring fragrance lingers in the air like an invitation while soft petals dance with the wind showing the way. Can you hear it? A beat of the drums rousing in the distance followed by an aerie song of the Spirits. It is the promise of victory calling champions from all lands. One by one they come with blooming power in their hands. Who is the one? Who holds more magical force hidden between the petals? Come, cheer with the crowd, for the Battle of Flowers is about to begin.

The Keeper

The Keeper of souls forgotten and lost
Messenger of death is his other name
He seeks for truth no matter the cost
Powerful spirit which no one can tame

Look for the answers in omniscient eye
Don’t lose your soul in feathers’ maze
Keep your eyes open and head up high
But who can withstand this piercing gaze?

She sees beyond the shadows and unseen places of the soul. She speaks of truth and whispers about the things you fear the most. Look into her all-seeing eye and face your demons. But do not seek for salvation in truth, for truth may change you forever.
