Description
I am pleased to share with you this artwork inspired by the wonderful photography stock by our deviantArt member PoisonIvy55. A guided invocation is a practice that belongs to the shamanic belief system which holds that all elements of nature, the plants, the animals, are alive and are bearers of power and wisdom.
The shaman whirls her handswide open in order to stress that there is a symbolic meaning on shamanic wisdom regarding clockwise and counterclockwise motions as portals to the spiritual world, the way to get in contact with our ancients. At Winter Solstice the sun is at its lowest altitude and many shamans believe a tunnel or portal is opened on this date in order to make astral journeys easier.
I would like to express my personal gratitude to Alexandrea for sharing with us her fine artistry and being the basis of my inspiration for this artwork.
