THE EIGHT DESIGNS:
Years ago I learned of my Spirit Guide, "Ahna" and decided to create a mandala for this guide. If you look closely, it looks like there are 12 hooded beings standing hand-in-hand around in a circle.
After attending to Native American pow-wows, they inspired me to create the "Arrow" mandala, which incorporates symbols found on many of the regalia worn by the dancers. Watching the dancers and hearing the drumming/singing, I felt transported to a different space and time.
I used Egyptian symbolism for "Eternal", which reminds us that time is an illusion and that more exists beyond what we know from our 5 senses.
"Follow the Bouncing Ball" tells us that regardless of circumstances and how convoluted they can be, we have the power to determine our destination.
"One Nation" came about on September 14, 2001...three days after 9/11. By that time, American flags flew everywhere and we felt this strong sense of unity. This mandala reminds us to be as one while maintaining our individuality.
I used the image of kelp gently moving back and forth with the flow of the tides and waves in the ocean for "On the Beach". It reminds us to be in that space of calm regardless of where we are.
"Quill" started out as a random doodle of a quill feather used for writing in olden times. It guides us to remember what's really important in our lives.
As with "Arrow", "Tail Feathers" came about after attending a few of pow wows. This mandala acts as a shield of protection while encouraging us to open ourselves to receiving Divine inspiration.
