Objects
Transformed by Wind- Chimes, these have to do with sound, they are combined with words which also have to do with sound.
Wrapped- The doll is wrapped in a cloak, kinda gives him a regal air-He is suspended from the tree by his feet similar to the celtic god Odin-who hung himself from the World tree in order to gain knowledge from the other worlds.
Soft- Owl Feather -combined with buried heart stone.
Luminous-Candles-symbol of individual soul.
Buried-heart stone.
Gnarly-Teeth-Symbol for underlying structure also the soul.
Cold-ice -obvious but also means Isa which is a rune for standing still and studying the inside realm.
Edible-Chocolate heart-sweetness of heart.
Distatseful-Money/Coins- Truely distasteful in many ways-also literally-yuck-do not lick coins.
Wicked-Rose- beautiful and enticing yet full of thorns.
Stretched-Wire web-I like spiders and the web is capture,ensnaring of something-in this case words or thoughts.
Alive or have Been-Mistletoe-The Golden Bough-Druids considered the plants"poisonous white berries to be drops of the oak god's semen, thus acquiring phallic significance." Some Nordic peoples refer to mistletoe as the " guide to hell".A symbol of death and eventually resurrection for "the beautiful god" Balder who was killed with a spear of mistletoe. Became symbol for access to things hidden sometimes treasure and also as a love charm for fertility-that's where the kissing part comes from.
Smeared-the mirror-unclear reflection of oneself.
Unexpected sound-magnets-symbol for the strong attractive and repulsive forces inside us all.
Awkward-Words-these i chose could be difficult things to think about or discuss.
Spill or be spilled-the glass of wine -libation offering to a "godform"
Smell-incense-carries prayers to the gods.
Fleeting and Temporal-Small prisms-the rainbow lights are by nature fleeting and temporal
Astonishing-Large Prism- Truely astonishing the bend and refracting of light to produce spectrum.
Scattered-White flower petals-symbol for transient beauty of the flesh.
something buried and something soft. The object buried is a rose quartz stone in the shape of a heart to signify the guarding or protecting of the heart. I combined this with the feather because when someone died in ancient Egyptian legend the heart was weighed against the feather of truth, if the heart was light and free from hate you went someplace happy, if not the crocadile gods would devour you.
