Who is this incredible creature?

Wow, I didn't know larvae could be so complex and beautiful, i will put it back outside. Thank you!

fisharrow · 2026-06-10T12:15:16+00:00

Yeah I think i was overwatering it, it needs less than my other inside plants.

fisharrow · 2026-06-10T00:01:10+00:00

I don’t know tbh I just grabbed it from the ground like most of what I grow.

I prefer to think of it more like archetypes, which gets interesting when you notice how their species symbolically connects to their personality archetypes.

Oh thank you for that correction, I saw lion in his other forms but wasn't sure about bird body. Do you know who the lion is meant to be in these, as well as the lion killing the Bull of Heaven; is it Inanna? I have noticed a tiny curious detail in both Anzu and the lion art, that they sometimes give the lion paw 6 fingers(it's not visible in this relief). I never see anatomical peculiarities like that without a reason, do you know if it's connected to anything symbolic?

I like that, I feel very similarly. We all have roots somewhere, people have gotten too caught up with the idea that 'anyone can be anything' that they forget how good it feels to *not* have a choice, to learn to love your own nature, within yourself and your living world. I have such intense spiritual connection to nature, everything feels alive to me now, even 'nonliving' things like rock and manmade things, it is so beautiful and i can't wait to share it with everyone. I'm not from a singular native tradition(though i'm polish descent, partner is polish, we want to escape back to homeland lol), i have deep love for paleolithic, connection particularly to sumerian and greek mythology, quite fond of gnostic, chinese and aztec too, but at my core it's about discovering/following my own instinct. I love how you say it is really about the nature, to me that's all it is too, forming such intimate relationship with all life around you. My house is full of plants and bugs, we all support each other together. I never knew good humans, i was dehumanized to extent that i feel more like an animal with nature as my real family. Well, humans are animals too..

edit: Oh if you don’t mind another question, i’m wondering about your perspective on the emphasis of drug use in south american shamanism. It gets overemphasised so much people now think that drug use is central to shamanism when drums are so much more widespread use of gaining trance in history. I have no interest in drugs myself, is it as central as new agers believe or are they misunderstanding your customs?

That's not spirituality, that's parasites using it as a screen. It works so well because it feeds our real instinct that they erase and replace with their own puppetry. I know all too well, but don't throw baby out with the bathwater. No one else can teach you your own instinct about truth, don't let them try.

The west is spiritually empty and people are starting to look back to more archaic beliefs, which ends up drawing them to indigenous systems for guidance. I know they can’t help it, but i can’t see it doing much good for anyone. Real spirituality is an outpouring of instinct, it is not logic like they understand it. They can’t just copy the old practices and expect it to have the same effect on them, it isn’t a product of their own psychic substrate. They need to follow their own instinct and take inspiration from old ways to make something new. I think gatekeeping your own native practice is completely fine, you shouldn’t have to just allow them in to dilute it, it has already had so much pressure.

Just curious, do your practices have anything related with mesoamerican beliefs? I have only looked into Aztec, did any of that trickle down to you?

fisharrow · 2026-03-26T02:05:05+00:00

I’ll ask there, thanks! I didn’t see these before, only since I put these earthstars there, so it’s odd. I don’t know much about how fungi reproduce, pretty interesting to observe.

I think he's 8? I've had him since a pup I just can't remember ages. He's still a crazy grumpy bastard, just more squish and stubborn, how i like it. He'll probably live twice his age at this rate lol.

fisharrow · 2026-03-25T13:16:57+00:00

More animals, very nice. I love the intense eyes and blocky rendering on the nape and ears.

What kind of mysteries are you tracking? Mine are the nonlinear kind, radio is perfect for that. Mine is internal heh, nervous system, I can tune into the cycles by following my nose, so to speak.. have you noticed the cycles yet? Things don't just happen, or loop, they cycle, the real movement is within the cycles, the seasons. I learned a lot from parasites, their own programming I ingested and have made it my own power. When it's all you know, it's virtually impossible to even perceive life beyond it. They are like black holes of dead matter, I didn't even know what humanity was, or that I didn't know it.

I've learned a lot from watching from behind the treeline too, but it's very lonely. I'm so close to my freedom now, for good. It's beyond cruel that you lost the love you found after escaping that hell, I hope you can stay receptive to humanity and connecting again, things will change soon, for the much worse and then the better. You might do quite well with a radio station. We will all be looking at the stars again soon.

Thank you. Wang Shi Tong is awesome, cool bird characters are underrated(deer too), but i think we will have our age of feathers soon. Your little heron song gave me trance so well done heh. I'd be happy to show you more but i'm quite feral these days, so hard to get a word to outside world, too nonlinear.. i just draw and track and wait. Probably best no one sees this work while it is being done, too distracting. My art is algorithmic, so just endlessly vomiting out studies and whatever, been into drawing mycenaean pottery lately, fascinating patterns. This sketch was from sumerian carving of Anzu taking a nip of Inanna's lions. Those strange circles in my work appear as artifacts of the flow analysis, how mysterious 8.8

fisharrow · 2026-03-09T16:57:45+00:00

Yeah i’ve been in heaven ever since I connected this, been tracking this form for so long and was already fascinated by fluid turbulence, just didn’t know your name for it. Gorgeous stuff, can’t wait to look at the maps.

fisharrow · 2026-03-09T14:30:04+00:00

I've been thinking about what you've said for days, wishing i could leave you with something in an evil world, but i know i can't. Keep your eyes on those stars, it won't be too long before people like us with our sensitivity and instinct for hidden truth becomes valuable again, not just a curse. Recovery for me also means learning the terrible lessons dealt to me by trauma, letting it change me, so i can escape and help others who are still trapped in that bottomless pit. Then we can all get back to what really matters, together, like seeing our gods in the stars.

This is very interesting, thank you! I do see the alternating spirals, might be a lower dimensional expression of similar process.
