fire woman

8/8/2020

This image came to me while I was watching fire on a first night of my solo camping. Since I don’t make fire often (or rather almost never), it took me a long while - several attempts and almost all papers I had including two fire starters. It was damp after apparently heavy rain prior to my arrival. But I persevered and was so proud of myself for not giving up and finally making the fire going. It was a very peaceful night and since the sky was clear I was able to look at the bright stars while sitting by the fire pit.

I wondered about how people lived before modern times, in sync with nature and a connection of Earth and the Above - physical and spirit worlds.

It is then after awhile when looking at the fire I saw this image in the burning log. It looked like an African-American woman’s face in profile with long hair down made in a spiral. Strong, powerful woman of the Fire in the flames of the fire.

The following morning, I drew this. However, for some reason instead of African -American woman, a “European” woman’s face came out on the page. It could be because I simply couldn’t draw it properly or it was just an inspiration.

The day it was drawn is considered a significant day - a Lion’s Gate portal, 8/8, annual cosmic allignment.
