In my post the spear you see that the spear is not really straight. That was bothering me so I started working on it yesterday late in the evening. Cut the spear in half, loosing the bend in the wood. The new ends had to be worked on. Here the outcome together with the bow.

Yesterday and today I worked on the arrow suiting my previous post https://redskywalkeronearth.wordpress.com/2021/07/20/de-baboesjkas .
The arrow is made from a chestnut branch, copper wire and acer seeds at the end. Not yet initiated.
Chestnut tree: mystical journey into the inner self, growing to a certain point in ones life.
Acer tree: in Dutch is Esdoorn and ‘Es’ is an old Germanic word for ‘spear’ Acer stands for longevity, happiness, self confidence, independence and planet Jupiter

Today’s assignment for @AnimalAlphabet was to draw the Harpy Eagle. At first I had no drive to do so. During the day that suddenly changed and in a quick draw there he was – The Harpy Eagle.
Tomorrow we have a potent new moon, a Hades Moon because Pluto is involved, so is black moon Lilith. A new moon of change, of trust and faith in higher powers. Curious if the drive to draw the Harpy Eagle may have a link to the new moon, so I looked it up. As a matter of fact he is.
If the Harpy Eagle appears, it is a sign and message that you are going through the changes you have asked for. The Harpy eagle take your plans heavenward and can be used to transmute negative things. There is a death of the old ways of doing things. Right now you are being humbled by spirit and the voice within. https://www.powerfulmystic8.com

So this animal came across my path right in time. No wonder I liked it so much drawing it.

One of the animal’s which suites some of my inner traits is the lizard. Learned that from my personal Tzolkien profile. When this came along I already had lizard brooch for a long time. I had it implemented on a piece of antler because the needle was broken.
A drawing challenge by @AnimalAlphabets was a lizard. Enjoyed drawing one very much. As a matter of fact my drawings are better when my inner world has to do with it. So here is the drawing.
Symbolism of Lizard: Flexible, Adaptive, Spiritual, Quick, Shrewd, Camouflage, Regeneration, Smart and Fast.
Today an Alpaca came along and I tried it too.
Symbolism and traits of Alpaca: communicating through body language, gentle character, living in herd, at least two of them, with good personal space boundaries, hard working and perseverance. Watch out for carrying the hole world on your shoulder. If mistreated you will know it, they get stubborn.
As a matter of fact I behave in a similar way. More communicating with body language, especially with my eyes and if mistreated you will know it for sure. When younger I tend to carry more than I could shoulder and was a real workaholic. Setting good boundaries as my personal space was also an issue.
The term totem animal does not necessarily mean that this animal is accompanying you but that you have similar behavior and traits . Animals coming into your life has a lot to tell and teach you, great them welcome.

The following shaman tools are waiting for a new owner, not yet initiated. Initiation will be done together with the new owner and then carry the energy needed. The tool is a helpful friend in your process afterwards.

This year my Helleborus is blooming like never before. To my surprise I also have a new one, also blooming with lots of flowers in its first year. Why now I asked myself and looked up the meaning of Helleborus. At https://www.spiritoftransformation.com/ I found the essence of Helleborus. All it is supposed to address suites the new era we just entered. Letting go of sorrow, fear, sadness, heart pain and more.
For more information about Helleborus history and medical use look here:

Another drawing challenge got my attention – the hyena. Not the animal to say its adorable but I wanted to try. Looking up the symbolism afterwards, made clear why I draw one and why it came out looking sweet. The hyena is consistent my inner process.
The Spotted Hyena symbolism, like the Prairie Dog, is a reminder that you must participate in your community. Withdrawal is not an option. Thus you must find ways to get involved and participate in your surroundings healthily and progressively. There is strength in numbers.
Occasionally, the Spotted Hyena symbolism asks you to embrace the feminist energy that is now required by this planet to find balance. For far too long, you have given up a part of yourself to the opposing forces that surround you. Moreover, leadership requires a balance in all areas. Therefore, the Hyena meaning implies that you must take on both the male and the female energies to bring about compromise. If you are male, this means that you will have to get in touch with your feminine side.

Received two thank-you-presents that were waiting until I do something with them. Got a lot of horse hair and when unpack it, the hair fell into heart shape.
The second present were two ‘Hühnergötter’ or as they are called in different tongues: hag stones, Snake’s eggs, Glain neidr, Adderstanes or Gloine nan Druidh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adder_stone
Combined the two in the larger ‘Hühnergott’ and added a tool I made some time ago. Today I initiated the tool.

Saturday I had my second horse coaching. A gift from two friends. Not much was told about the horses. To my surprise the work would be done by five Icelandic Horses at http://www.comedi-coaching.nl
Last week I had bought one big Icelandspat and 4 small ones – what a coincidence.
The group had two new arrivals in their midst. There was a mare who had problems with here hind legs. She was the first to made contact with me. Followed by a gelding who had back problems some time ago and was recovering. The other three were doing fine.
Like a fine tuned receiver they registered every word I said and reacted with small signs to make clear that it was right what I was saying. Showed my underlying irritations, sadness, despair, anger, reclusion and much more. The coach gently guided me and told me about the signs the horses showed. Took them and me quite some time to fall into movement of the stagnant pent-up energy of ages. I suddenly said:” maybe a sixth horses is needed to get something started.” The coach laughed and answered that a sixth horses is arriving soon.
After quite some time, the first horse went away to take a dump. A second one followed and a third, controlling the others dumps first if everything was seen and put away, than took a dump too. They went frequently to drink and when I said they have to drink to clean up, they reacted with validation. My grandmother was there to help. And finally one of the two new horses came by my left side to stay. She was there to support me and I burst into tears with words: ” Finally someone at my side.” During the whole session all five horses continued eating, some as if their life depended on it. A bit of a funny fact because in my youth, all we ever did was eat, lots of food. Mother was an outstanding cook and my father backed the finest pies and cakes.
At last we spoke about my children. And when telling about the quarrels with one of them, two of the horses got into heavy fight showing anger and aggression, sad moment it was.
Before going away I had to great each horse separately and I did with heartfelt gratitude. Especially the mare with the hind legs problem and the gelding with the back problem. Wanted to do something in return so let my hands do the work. The mare accepted and so did the gelding although for a short time letting me know that I was there for myself and not for him.
The mare had pointed out that there was a healing to be done. We went inside and I got one. At the end I received a special stone which worked in an instant on my heart – the place to be – more specific – the feminie heart on the diaphragm.
In the evening pain started – the healing on the two horses – their energy had to be cleaned and could finally, on Monday, send back. Now my pain of all that had come to the fore during the horse coaching came and I still have it with me – slowly fading away. Got some interesting information about the fact that I was part of a twin but born alone. On top of that the way I was born – a blue baby almost dead due to the umbilical cord around my neck. The insights are tremendous on physical, emotional, mental areas and behavior.
Here are just two of the facts:
1. The alone born twin will be left-handed and/or ambidextrous – the definition of true ambidexterity is being able to do a task equally well with either hand or with both hands at the same time. Funny because I wrote this quite some time ago without knowing the above:
https://redskywalkeronearth.wordpress.com/2019/08/13/left/2. My love for even numbers
Still processing it all. Many thanks to the horses who worked for and with me helping in my ongoing inner journey. Will go there again when the sixth horse has arrived. After all my name in Chinese says among other things: woman of horse.
