WANDERING STAR
The meander is a vector which is in no great hurry. There is a forward thrust of energy but it turns this way & then again. It is similar to a snake’s movements or streams & rivers which turn & switchback many times in their traverse. The star is a geometric impression of a perfectly balanced spiral which has 5 stress points in its twist. This particular star in the center of its sandstone pedestal has a slightly longer top point indicating that it is moving rather than stationary. The meander is also in movement so the charm confirms itself & it becomes a Wandering Star seeking expression in many venues. A nice charm for Taoists.

HORNS of HEYOKA
HORNS OF HEYOKA – The image & head dress of HEYOKA reflect the fact that the culture in which HEYOKA originated was a hunting culture. Because the demands of hunting & tracking require vigilance, sensitivity & intuition the horns represent those qualities which enable HEYOKA to see beyond or into our everyday reality to perceive the energetic qualities of material existence. The horns act as antennae & are often depicted with auras or ethereal energies surrounding them or emanating from them. This piece represents that reality. It is comprised of hematite which reflects the iron rich electro magnetic sea we live in, the horns or antennae we perceive with, the black & white dichotomy or digitization which makes abstract processes possible & a polished quartz crystal which amplifies & directs the raw material of perception into a meaningful or useful mental construct. 4.25″ long. This would be a good altar piece to add energy or intent to your tableau. It is also quite pleasing as far as the interaction of the visual elements go & is the jumping off point to new perceptions or power. Click for closeup.
