“Where There is Light, There Must Also Be Darkness”, “Every man has a good and bad angel attending on him, all his life long.” – Robert Burton (“Anatomy of Melancholy”) “Man is his own star, and the soul that can, render an honest and a perfect man,Commands all light, all influence, all fate: nothing to him falls early or too late.Our acts are angels are, for good or ill: our fatal shadows that walk by us still.” – John Fletcher (“Upon An Honest Man’s Fortune”) “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” – Bible: 2 Corinthians (11:13-15)
Taken in Bangkok, Thailand at the Sri Mariamman Temple. This Hindu temple was built in 1860 and is dedicated to the Goddess Mariamman. There are actually other temples such as this one in Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. I have added it to my list of things to do, that is, visit the other temples in the world.
The sacred spiral indicates renewal and cycles of life. Sun, center of the spiral, is the Giver of Life and Warmth and all that is good. Eagle, divine spirit, chief of all the creatures in the air, the primary servant of the sun. Powerful in battle, the eagle protects the people from evil. Eagle medicine attributes include clear vision and soaring spirit. The eagle is associated with success, prosperity and wealth. Circular feather arrangements are found on pottery, in masks, prayer fans, dance costumes and on Plains “war bonnets” They are also used in decoration on buffalo hide “counts”, or story depictions in paint recounting war honors, times of historic contact and other important periods of time. In a circular arrangement, they are related to the sun, and therefore, to the Creator.
Somewhere in Southern Poland. Look at the crossroads. It’s that dot between the Northern and the Eastern road.
Original posting can be found here for your viewing and commenting pleasure: / “http://madmen.deviantart.com/art/Zelda-Majora-shirt-design-46808350” I’ve made my cut of the profits as low as possible to help others afford this. In return, please tell your friends about this shirt. I thank you for your kindness and help! I earn only ~$2 on each shirt. :) I always loved this character, but was discouraged upon finding out he would never return to the series after Majora’s Mask. This is a bit of satire, putting Oni Link in the style of Wind Waker, a subsequent game of the series. This is a bit of an older design that I made in January of 2007, but it is an old favorite of mine. The small script reads “Oni Link” (translates to Fierce Deity Link) / The large scrips read “Zeruda no Densetsu Mujura no Kamen” (The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask) / It is in Japanese to honor the home that the game came from. A difficult choice, as I prefer not to write in languages that I cannot personally read to verify the accuracy of. However, this was cleared for me by a dear friend of mine who is a Japanese Major, so I give it my stamp of approval. I hope you enjoy! May make other designs per request. / Feel free to leave a message or email. I did not create the original character this is based on, nor did I pioneer the style this is based on. Credit for that goes to Nintendo. / This image, however, is all my doing.
/ The Morrigan is a Celtic goddess of battle, strife, and fertility. Her name translates as either “Great Queen” or “Phantom Queen,” and both epithets are entirely appropriate for her. The Morrigan appears as both a single goddess and a trio of goddesses. The Morrigan frequently appears in the ornithological guise of a hooded crow. She is one of the Tuatha Dé Danann (“Tribe of the goddess Danu” or the land of the Faries) and she helped defeat the Firbolg at the First Battle of Mag Tuireadh and the Fomorians at the Second Battle of Mag Tuireadh. She is often read about in books that are about the Fae. She appeared to the hero Cu Chulainn (son of the god Lugh) and offered her love to him. When he failed to recognize her and rejected her, she told him that she would hinder him when he was in battle. When Cu Chulainn was eventually killed, she settled on his shoulder in the form of a crow. Cu’s misfortune was that he never recognized the feminine power of sovereignty that she offered to him. She appeared to him on at least four occasions and each time he failed to recognize her. 1.When she appeared to him and declared her love for him. / 2.After he had wounded her, she appeared to him as an old hag and he offered his blessings to her, which caused her to be healed. / 3.On his way to his final battle, he saw the Washer at the Ford, who declared that she was washing the clothes and arms of Cu Chulainn, who would soon be dead. / 4.When he was forced by three hags (the Morrigan in her triple aspect) to break a taboo of eating dogflesh. / / Resources: Background: Funky Terrain by MatrixStock http://matrixstock.deviantart.com/art/Funky-Terrain-2-72714593 and Misty Ocean by LucieG-Stock http://lucieg-stock.deviantart.com/art/Misty-ocean-1-104660883 Woman by dazzle-stock http://dazzle-stock.deviantart.com/art/No-Sleep-For-The-Wicked-108278956 Crow brushes by lugubrum-stock http://lugubrum-stock.deviantart.com/art/Lugubrum-stock-crowbrush-53834827 All artworks contained herein have been created in Photoshop CS3 or Photographed, by Adara Rosalie, and are all original artworks. / My gallery is Copyright © 2008-2009 Adara Rosalie.

There are eight Buddhist deities who protect the 12 Zodiac signs, with each deity protecting one (or two) Zodiac animals. Each of the 12 signs are closely related to one of the certain eight Buddhism gods called “Shugobutu” which means the Buddhist guardian deities. Each of the 8 Buddhist guardian deities has its specific symbol – known as a ‘Shuji’. That’s a particular character from the ‘Bonji’ script. Fudo Myo-o guards the year of the Rooster 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029.

One of a series of monthly posters I researched and wrote the copy for, commissioned by a mind, body & spirit magazine. Therefore only sharing them here instead of offering them for sale.The series covered nine known planets and each of the signs of the Zodiac. The symbolism and associations of each one meant the series lent itself to a very Tarot like approach.
