I love the Grackle’s beak, long tail and iridescent feathers, sometimes black, sometimes blue, green. purple. bronze, how you see it is how you are placed within your life at that moment… the symbol of emotions that must be expressed, that was where I began…
Hand sculpted, hand made, pit fired ceramic bird with traces of shiny and matte green-turquoise glaze on raw clay, the head turned skyward… mounted to a undulating, complex slice of Hurricane Sandy wood salvaged from one of our many fallen old trees ravaged by the storm, sanded to a silken smooth finish… s p i r i t b i r d wears a hand made amulet… an etched metal medallion with the ancient Theban symbol for V i c t o ry mounted to leather, joined with antique and ancient metal and clay beads. 
Standing with spirit bird, a smaller slice of hurricane wood, fitted with a hammered, cut, hand painted and etched hand painted, copper incense burner that holds cone, stick or bamboo stick incense or our skinny 100% beeswax hand made Greek monastery candles ...the smoke rising skyward to where the bird is gazing. Heaven and earth elements… hurricane and fire energies 
For your personal altar, for your meditation, surround with candles for trataka meditation, prayer, serenity… now more than ever.
With hand painted amulets of wood or stones and small treasures, beeswax candles … I will know…
