“transforming into the spirit world”

by

SOLD

It was only fitting that I include a shaman with these two owls. In my work, when I first look at the stones, I try to see what the shapes in the rock say. With this particular piece and its shape, I could see the owls and the shaman. As the owl is said to be the creature that helps one through the spirit world, I felt it only fitting that there should be an owl on each side of the shaman… as this way, he was guaranteed safe passage.
