Here is a picture sketch that I hope someday to materialize into a detailed image. The idea for it came to me while watching Sarah Brightman's Diva: Video Collection. In it, besides singing wonderfully, she is elegant, beautiful and at one point, she releases a dove. Also, I was influenced by my Naga Kanya, with her serpentine bottom and my Ma'at, who is Goddess of order, justice and cosmic equilibrium. This Goddess, whose role we can play, releases the feather of Ma'at and then it transforms into the dove. Some might see it as the 'dove of peace'. To me, this is metaphor for the serpentine spine strength (Might of Set), coursing upwards, and then from the crown 'chakhra', the Ma'at feather arises, the ordering element, and then the releasing of beautiful intention. (And thus it turns out I have a passable illo for the Friday Illo theme of 'PEACE'!) The last statement, well, I didn't say that 'beautiful intention' might involve a bird that is more hawk like rather than dove like if Justice is the intention. Hey I had to make it fit the theme, didn't I? ;) Certainly our intentions should always be 'beautiful', that which furthers Ma'at. |
