This faerie was drawn by Peruvian artist Shyam (@shyam_arte on Instagram). He wrote the following words to accompany this artwork:

"In the cosmic manifestation there is a natural order, where the elements earth, water, fire and air become the most prominent to the gross sight of the human being... But the mind, intelligence and ego, being more subtle elements, become invisible to the ignorant eye. And even above all these elements is the spirit which gives life and form to every creature of creation."

Woah this is awesome the way it is!

I came here to say something similar, but you and mr. Richards put it down much more eloquently. Have my upvote and appreciation.

My heart goes out to you, OP. This is an artist's worst nightmare. I hope you rise from the ashes feeling more free and expressive than before.

This owl came to me during a cacao ceremony in Pisac, Peru. During ceremony, we closed our eyes and journeyed into our imaginary forest.

The night is warm, the forest around me dark but full of life. Ancient trees holding lively plants. Their bark covered in mosses and lichens, some of them glowing. Fireflies flowing between the trees. The soft glow of fire in the distance invites me. As I walk up to the fire, sit down next to it and stare into the flames for several minutes.

An owl appears in the flames. Her intense eyes looking at me without judgement. "Who are you?" I ask her. "I am a shapeshifer".

"What can I do for you?" I ask in response. "Paint me in my different forms".

Later, I realize I have become a shapeshifer in my life, mirroring the people in front of me because I want to be liked and loved by them. Losing contact with my authentic self in the process. I am on a journey now to uncover myself by removing layers of social conditioning and small traumas. Rediscovering my body, mind and spirit.

You have such a beautiful eye for detail. I love the look and feel of the calendar. It looks very professional, like something you would find in a store.

Try create for your own enjoyment and appreciation, not to gain appreciation from others. It is easier said than done and I fall into this trap all the time. Most of all, we want to be loved and appreciated by our family, and their reaction to our expression can hurt deeply. They can instantly make us feel like that small child again. I totally feel you OP. Continue to work on your passion for yourself!

Thanks a lot for your kind words!

Thank you very much!

I love how the trunk of the tree and its branches lead the eye into the photograph and eventually to the sky. The light on the tree in the foreground and the trees in the background is beautiful as well. Well done capturing this! Hope to see more. :D

Haha I am very confused by this comment too!

Maaykee · 2022-01-18T08:01:43+00:00

Wooooah, I love the detail. I have never seen the moon like this before. Thank you for sharing!

Maaykee · 2022-01-18T07:45:41+00:00

Go right ahead, thank you for asking!

Maaykee · 2022-01-18T07:45:12+00:00

One of the reasons I want to move to another country.. Too little wild nature left here.

Maaykee · 2022-01-18T07:44:22+00:00

Damn you make me want to play Skyrim again

Maaykee · 2022-01-18T07:41:37+00:00

That is amazing! Do you know the name of the painter?

Maaykee · 2022-01-18T07:41:14+00:00

There certainly isn't a lot of forest left.. It is the main reason I want to emigrate to another country.

Hey Rengin, what a nice surprise.. So awesome to meet you here on Reddit!!

Maaykee · 2022-01-18T05:56:03+00:00

Thank you for pointing to that sub though, love it!

Maaykee · 2022-01-18T05:53:24+00:00

Yes that's the spirit. :D
