I asked that because when I was at the healing store, I was looking at "Goddess" knowledge cards. Have you seen them?Here is a link which has some of the art on the cards, all drawn by the same artist. Exquisitely detailed art: http://www.learntarot.com/gsdesc.htm
So when I saw these, I immediately thought of you because many of these beautiful drawings are part woman/part animal. For example, there is one that is like part cougar/woman. And I came up with a REALLY cool idea, but I cannot do it myself because I cannot draw THAT beautifully...
Wouldn't it be so cool to have an artist be able to do renditions based on someone's personal chart? So if I could, I'd draw you as a beautiful goddess who is part lion/part fish.
Hence, came my question about the warrior. If you have ever been in an American Indian group where they talk about our inner animals, there's this HUGE list, each one with a particular strength. (I'll look for that list now and link to it if I can)...
Anyways, it's like you go over each one and the one which "speaks" to you is your animal. For me it has ALWAYS been the wolf, which rules intuition and other stuff. I'll find it...
But to take it one step further, if it were based on my chart, UH! I just realized, Libra is the only sign represented by an inanimate object! Well, Wow... when just considering the major planets of Sun, Asc, Moon, cannot forget Mars the warrior, and Venus... I'd have a part/woman, part/Scorpion, part Crab, holding the Scales.
I think it would be therapeutic! We'd be inspired to tap into these energies. I need to find an artist who would consider doing this.
PS: You've read the classic, "Women Who Run with the Wolves - Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D?
So someone DID notice the warrior in you! Your father! See, you are a fighter!
