Why will they "starve?" Why do I choose, why do <strike>some people choose</strike> cognitive dissonance, over responsibility, when it comes to climate shifts, water shifts, land shifts, animal and protein shifts, and vegetation shifts?</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">My youngest son, a Scientist, tells me his generation or my Grandkids generation will die. It sounds dramatic, it sounds like a radical view, it sounds like he is taking this to a place that I can't accept or refuse to accept, on an emotional level, but know it is the absolute damn truth on a Universal level, the level in which he lives. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">I asked him how...what is the demiss of what the baby-boomers (me) have done? I need details beyond the media, beyond my own eye-sight, beyond my own personal view.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">He explains to me: The hazards of Climate Change are further along than a cure/remedy/solution can be. I talked to him as the Scientist he is, not as my son, who is an eternal optimist, old soul, believer of goodness. I immediately asked him "why have you lost your <i>Hope</i>, your trust and belief of your profession, something that he walked into this World with, and something his Spirituality fosters deeply within him". </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Why do you not believe, <strike>especially in your profession</strike>, that a "cure" will come? You work with, test, and then start again, when the beaker says "no" the most basic level of molecules for bone degeneration, for compromised disease, and a cancer cure?</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">He explains it to me.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">He tells me that when that time comes "some" people will choose their own death time.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">I joke and say "well can you give me a heads up if this is what you choose."</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">That isn't funny...that is SO not funny. Not for someone who worked in Psychiatry for 30 years. Not for someone who knows better. Not for someone who suffers from Suicide Guilt.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dear G-d, I should know better. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Then I cry.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">I apologize.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">It isn't enough...</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Today at Ike's Challenge Blog<a href="ikeschallengesblog.blogspot.com"> (here)</a> is "VEHICLES".

Under The Weather is the challenge, but LOVE rules! </b></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><b>The bond between parents and children is intense, in every way - the good, the bad, and the ugly - but one thing is for sure...LOVE is a keynote, getting to really know your bubble is a keynote, and the connection is intimate, is natural, is real, is authentic. And grieving with the World is the most humane identity we can call up from the ashes.</b></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><b>My personal hope, that we don't forget what these connections (via zoom or in person) are giving us, are challenging us with, and that ultimately, we are learning from, coming to accept (because there is no use to fight it )- our children are showing up in our professional meetings, and what can get more real than that! </b></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><b>My glass is half full...there is much that can change in the World, once COVID passes if we stay conscious and if we take on the issues that have always been there but are finally being talked about out loud, and if we run with them because our lives and our brother's and sister's lives depend on it. </b></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><b>And this is a good thing...if we continue to remember the glorious thing of ONENESS. Separation is nonexistent from country to country. </b></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><b>And in reflection - much goodness regarding that lack of separation will be seen. </b></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><b>To have the entire World grieve the death or the sickness of our loved one is new, is magnificent, is sad, but...IS REAL and SUPPORTIVE and GOODNESS happening before our eyes.</b></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><b>We are changing.</b></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><b>..............................................................................................................................</b></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><b>How can I write a chipper blog post without this personal (my view only) words?

The World has come alive in new ways, spoken in ways that are long overdue and suffered, commiserated, and laughed together. Mostly, for me, I love the "realness" that I see on TV - people in their homes (who are usually on the set), and people in general becoming unafraid to say what is "really" going on in their lives. </p><p>Covid, if nothing else, tells me "<i>We Can No Longer Hide</i>". </p><p>Not from our vulnerabilities, not from our biases, not from our health regimine or lack thereof and mostly, not from each other. THANK YOU ZOOM!</p><p>Onward.</p><p>Today I have used Ike's Cute Fairy. Find all Ike's images in her store at <a href="https://ikesart.zibbet.com/shop">https://ikesart.zibbet.com/shop</a>. Hop on over to the Challenge Blog at <a href="https://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">https://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/</a> to check out some cuteness and to hopefully become inspired to enter your own creation into the challenge.</p><p>Stay Healthy, Stay Happy and Stay Real...it all counts!</p><p>Samara</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/samaranavi/">https://www.instagram.com/samaranavi/</a></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I have been on an art sabbatical, otherwise know as "lost my mojo!"<br />
<br />
But today, it has returned. I am cautiously optimistic it will stay put.<br />
<br />
I have used CUBIMALS, created by Ike. Her store is linked below.<br />
<br />
I encourage you to pop over and see what goodies Ike has in store and to (for sure) go on over to (just click the following link) <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Ike's World Challenges </a>and play along.<br />
<br />
Enjoy, be safe, and Good Health Greetings,<br />

<br />
For August, <i><a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE IS "HATS" </a>(<a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">HERE</a>).</i><br />
You can use one of Ike's amazing Hat images from her store, <i><a href="https://ikesart.zibbet.com/shop">IKE'S ART STORE (HERE)</a></i> or something you already have that speaks "HATS".<br />
<br />
It's been a long time since I have posted...but I am hoping my "mojo" has returned, my art will improve, and I will keep on keepin' on creatively.<br />
<br />
Hop on over to<a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/"> </a><i><a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE (HERE</a>) </i>and take a looksie at the other Designer's Art. It is quite outstanding!<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">HOW GORGEOUS IS DAFFODIL FAIRY?</span></b></div>
<b></b><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I flipped when I saw her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://ikesart.com/">Ike</a> manages to create these images that provoke the art right out of you! lol</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For one of the first times, I used my Prisma's Premier and loved them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They were so much easier than I imagined.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I combined Ike's Image (<a href="http://ikesart.com/">Ikesart.com</a>) with my Mixed Media style.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was fun, adventurous and of course, inspiring to the Mojo to use one of Ike's Great Women!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have also added "a blue art" from the past - one I really enjoy.</span><br />
<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Flip over to <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">IKE'S CHALLENGES BLOG</a> for great inspiration from the Team.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, Enjoy Daf!</span><br />

<br />
Who doesn't like one or the other.<br />
Well, I guess there are allergies...I'm so sorry 😥<br />
<br />
Ike LOVES kitties...check out her other Challenge, link on the sidebar.<br />
You will have so much fun, seeing all kinds of fancy shmancy cats!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I've created a piece of art for Ike that has both "woofers and meowers."<br />
<br />
Pop over to Ike's World Challenges <a href="http://ikesartchallengesblog.blogspot.com/">(here)</a> and "be inspired" by Ike's art images and the Designer's creations, also Ike's store (<a href="http://ikesart.com/">here).</a><br />
<br />
All the best for 2019!<br />

IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGES<b>TIS THE SEASON TO BE....</b><br />
<br />
And indeed, this is exactly what many people are doing at this time of year...figuring out a way "to be" amidst the "season for treason" in shopping malls, roadways, and of course, my fav - AMAZON! (little shout out there!)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Ike's challenge</a> for December is "<i>It's Christmas</i>".<br />
<br />
Well, in my family - it is a "<i>It's Chriskwanzmakkah</i>" as we have every celebration going on in this household and every representative thereof. It is simply joyous!<br />
<br />
So for my card, as my son calls it - "<i>Gallow Humour</i>" I've created a little bit (oh, I mean a lot) off the edge card for Ike.<br />
<br />
Pop over to <a href="http://ikesart.com/">Ike's Store </a>to see her many digital art pieces. You will defo find a little something to use in your art this season! Even if you chose a little bwahahaha like me.<br />
<br />
<i>Enjoy the Season of Joy Friends!</i><br />
<br />
Best,<br />

I have been using my homemade (4 years ago!) Gelli Plate and have made a Gelli Journal for all the pieces I create. Gelli creating is a great way to boost the creating mojo. It can be as messy and as random as possible. No judgy self, no shame, no blame. I really loved when I thought of this, as my Gelli Images were paper clipped all over my studio and have now become organized and my new background papers. When I saw the colors for this Challenge, one of the Gelli Prints I did a few months ago fit perfectly. I might say that 3/4 of my Gelli Journal use these colors...my favs.<br />
<br />
Little Red Riding Hood can be found at <a href="http://ikesart.com/">Ike's Store (here).</a> Take a peek a boo. There will be far more than Little Red Riding Hood that captures your attention. So shop on!<br />
<br />
Take a gander over to <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Ike's World Challenge </a>site. You will find a freebie and lots of great inspiration for your art.<br />

Happy Bunny Hopping!<br />

The best!<br />
I first saw it on Netflix and loved it, binging watching it.<br />
Then, Season 2, I watched 2 episodes and NADA!<br />
Each time I was going to cry, feel so sad, laugh - BAAM!<br />
Commercial!<br />
<br />
So no way.<br />
I LOVED the emotion of this Series.<br />
Thus, I patiently await Series two on<br />
YAY NETFLIX!<br />
<br />
Take a look at this and the other DT members inspiration for <a href="http://ikeschallengeblog.blogspot.com/">MOVIE MADNESS at IKE'S WORLD CHALLENGE BLOG.</a><br />

<b>PARTY GIRL SURPRISE!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This is the name of<a href="http://ikesart.com/"> Ike's latest image.</a><br />
I had an idea of combining the Macabre with the Nice (nice = wedding???).<br />
And Ike invented this sketch, which I completely love.<br />
<br />
Of course, in my twisted way of thinking...immediately came "TILL DEATH DO US PART."<br />
Ugh - please don't be offended if you are one of the lucky ones who has a "blessed" wedding, happy as a lark and full of surprises (but not necessarily <a href="http://ikesart.com/">Party Girl Surprise type of Surprise!) lol</a><br />
<br />
Pop on over to <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Ike's World Challenge Blog</a> and see what the Designers did. They are SO creative. I love the variety that is over there.<br />
<br />
Now all that is missing is YOURS!<br />
<br />
Pop over for <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://ikesart.com/">Ike's freebie</a> </span>- YAY - and let's see whatcha' got!<br />
<br />
Blessings,<br />

<br />
It has been a bit since I posted, but here I am once again.<br />
<br />
I am using <a href="http://ikesart.com/">IKE'S "First Christmas" Image.</a> Isn't she adorable? I did not use the Christmas Branch that is part of the image - so you will have that option when you purchase the image from <a href="http://ikesart.com/">IKE'S Store.</a><br />
<br />
The second card I made is NOT one of Ike's Images - but is the image/art that helped to break my NO MOJO that has been present since May. It is one of those layer thing a ma bobs. I guess using something pre-made gave me the oomph to get back here to my desk.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy both, and please visit <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">IKE'S ART CHALLENGE </a>to pick up your own freebie and to enter <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">IKE'S Challenge.</a><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I went to an Herb Workshop that my friend gave. We walked in the along a road, she identified the plants (that I would have called road weed) and told us what remedies each was used for.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>The women chose a concoction of plants that made a tincture and a suave for Arthritis, as most of them have that, and we made them. It was a good day spent with a friend of nearly 3 dozen years...however...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>The Healing Centre where Sherri's workshop was held had a "donation" box.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I asked what the cause was. The owner, now a very close friend - you know - the Soul Sister you just met - told me it was about "Solomon."</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I asked what/who is Solomon (good question by a Minister!)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>She said "<strike>Dr</strike>. Solomon who is charged with 18 counts of - Distributing Child Porn, Making Child Porn, Photographing his Patients, Photographing the Parents - and using the patients as Photo-shopped Porn (I'm sure you can use your imagination on this one), Camera's in the Bathroom for both boys and girl patients and on and on."

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i>I just froze!</i> </b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>My baby cub was his patient. For two years, until I went in one day and told my son's other parent he will NEVER go back to him again.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>INTUITION.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>But never this. I just knew he was a pompous ass who treated me like shit and doted on my son. Something felt wrong - if not just totally rude!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>From here I looked it up on Google, saw that all patients and parents were instructed to go to our town's Police Station and talk to the investigating Detective.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I went the next day.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>My son is not one of the children that is jumping out in the Distributed Porn Charge. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Though the <strike>Dr</strike>. will have pictures/video of both my son and I. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I talked to my Septic Guy (I had a 4 foot flood in my house during the Storm.) His kids, as did all the kids in 3 towns, went to Dr. Solomon or Dr. Peterson - only 2 Orthodontic Specialists in the area.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>And his response. "They were not bad people mom...just desperate." How proud can you be of your child when something like this happens to them; there has been enough trauma for him that I just wanted to wait a week.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I didn't, at the encouragement of Tex, my friend. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>My baby cub was shocked, said he used the washroom before each visit or after (he was 11 and 12) but that he was not concerned. He just cursed the <strike>Dr.</strike></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>The first trial was August 17 and the second this week. The Detective said the lawyers will not be able to delay because of the blatancy of the evidence. Just like the head of the Canadian Military - Russell Williams.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i>So. Thank You for reading this, and staying with it - if you have.</i></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>This card is made for the Woman who owns the Healing Centre. There were butterflies all around the Donation Box. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I know the Spiritual significance of the butterfly, so it seems perfect for the Donation box. The money will be used for the complainants in The Group Class Action Civil Suit, which I will be a part of.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>This can't continue...but perhaps like you...I don't have a clue how to stop people who are as sick and crafty and demented and RICH like this person and have the creativity and sneakiness of a Fox, because no one knew (the patients and parents) what he was doing. He was discovered through the Child Porn Unit - so telling telling telling didn't work - there was nothing to tell. Until now.</b></span><br />
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For now - Prayer is where I am, prayer for his sick demented Soul.</span></b><br />

<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I live in the country and have snakes on my property, and I think I am in the minority, but I like them.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am fascinated by them. Staying so close to the ground, no options to jump, or be invisible - at least not the snakes here.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I am cutting the acreage and I see one in front of me, I almost fall off my tractor to avoid them. People have told me all these brilliant things about snakes, what they do for the environment, but for me - I just think they are really resourceful and pretty trusting.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having said that, when I see that people have them as pets, I kind of freak out! I would not wrap one around my neck or likely come within 10 feet of one that is being held. When that tongue goes out...I am gone!</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I guess that tells you that I have "garden snakes" :p !!</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Enjoy the following information I found on a link listed below. I am in awe of how far these little gaffers go back, what their meaning is and how it changes from country to country.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While serpents and snakes may terrify many people, the scaly, slithering creatures have been used to symbolize both positive and negative elements by ancient cultures.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope you enjoy this post, and LOVE Ike's rendition of<a href="http://ikesart.com/"> <b>Hey, Are You Snakey?</b></a></span></div>

<span style="color: #19232d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 24px;"><b><u>What Are Serpents?</u></b></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The word serpent comes from the Latin <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">serpens</em>, meaning a creeping thing or snake. The symbol is one of the oldest and most commonly used across a myriad of ancient cultures to symbolize wisdom, death, resurrection, fertility and procreation.</span></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
In Africa and America</span></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In African mythology, an ancient god created the sun, moon and thereafter the earth, which he fashioned from a lump of clay. The god also created a set of twins, the primitive beings, called <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Nummo</em>. The twins were half human and half snake, according to the ethnic group of Mali and Upper Volta called <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">the Dogon</em>. The ancestral spirits were immortal, said to have originated from another planet and graciously combined their DNA with animals on Earth.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In Central America, the ancient Mayan book, <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Chilam Balam</em>, claims that the first people to inhabit the Yucatan were the Chanes or People of the Serpent. Sources cite the Chanes as being led across the sea by the serpent god Itzamna, who ruled by his esoteric knowledge rather than strength. Feathered serpents were also depicted in much of their art, possibly implying the creatures had the ability to fly. After the Maya, the Aztecs too worshiped a serpent god. Quetzalcoatl was a plumed serpent god who brought the knowledge of science and mathematics to his people.</span></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
In China</span></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Though the serpent god is depicted as a dragon in Chinese mythology, sources claim it is most likely referring to the legged, winged serpent in Hindu mythology called the Naga. Human beings were allegedly created by Fu Xi and Nu Wa, according to ancient Chinese legend. The male and female pair had serpent bodies and human heads. The duo were said to contribute to the development of the Chinese writing system and perhaps expound on the personality traits of intelligence, wisdom and communication that the serpent represents in the Chinese zodiac.</span></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
In Egypt</span></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The serpent is associated with immortality and the gods in the Old and Middle Kingdom periods in Egyptian mythology. A snake was depicted on tombs carrying the Pharaoh off into the sky, to the land of the gods. The snake came to be a symbol of kingship around this time and appeared on the headdress of the Pharaohs. In the New Kingdom period, however, when Egypt was invaded and taken over by the Hyksos, the snake represented the invaders and was therefore viewed as evil. The Egyptians also believed the god Amun could turn into a snake in order to regenerate himself. They purported that <a href="http://mythology.net/greek/greek-concepts/the-underworld/" style="border: 0px; color: #e54e53; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;" title="the underworld">the underworld</a> was guarded by Nehebkau, a two-headed snake who offered protection and represented <a href="http://mythology.net/egyptian/egyptian-gods/apophis/" style="border: 0px; color: #e54e53; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Apophis">Apophis</a> as a giant poisonous water snake embodying chaos.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Egyptian symbol of a snake in a circular shape, eating its own tail, represented renewal and resurrection. It was called the <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://mythology.net/others/concepts/ouroboros/" style="border: 0px; color: #e54e53; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Ouroboros">Ouroboros</a></em> and was depicted on a shrine on Tutankhamen’s tomb. In alchemy, the Ouroboros symbol appears again. The alchemical cross also features a crucified snake and represents the mythical potion, the Elixir of Life.</span></div>

In India</span></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Nagas were purported to be an ancient serpent race which descended from the sky. The <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ancient Book of Dzyan</em>, possibly one of the oldest Sanskrit sources, speaks of the ancient Indian myths. The Nagas were said to be human above the waist and possess the tail of a dragon or snake. They could also turn themselves into either fully human or fully serpentine form. Since female Nagas were portrayed as extremely beautiful, Indian Dynasties claimed their family origin as a union of a human and Nagi, a female Naga.</span></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
In Christian Texts</span></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In early versions of the Old Testament, reference is made to serpent god ancestors, but the references have been eliminated or interpreted as merely allegorical through numerous translations and adaptions. Serpents were certainly associated with Moses, however. He was instructed by God to make a serpent-head idol. When those bitten by a snake looked at the serpent-head, their bite was completely healed. Moses’ staff was also reported to have magical properties, turning into a snake and back into a staff again on one occasion. And in Genesis, one cannot forget the renowned serpent in the <a href="http://mythology.net/others/concepts/garden-of-eden/" style="border: 0px; color: #e54e53; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Garden of Eden">Garden of Eden</a>, found curled around the tree of life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
Greeks and Romans</span></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In Greek and Roman mythology, the snake symbolizes a guardian spirit and was inscribed on many altars. In the temple of Athena in Athens, a snake held in a cage was believed to be the reincarnation of Erichthonius, an early king in ancient Greece. A snake was likewise kept at the shrine of <a href="http://mythology.net/greek/greek-gods/apollo/" style="border: 0px; color: #e54e53; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Apollo">Apollo</a> where it was tended to by a naked virgin. In Greek mythology, Medusa and other gorgons (female creatures) had sharp fangs and live snakes for hair. The association of women and serpents extended to Medea, who was pulled in a chariot led by serpents, as well as the Minoan snake goddess who held a snake in each hand.</span></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
Celtic, Norse and Native American Beliefs</span></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Celts associated snakes with wisdom, fertility and immortality, and tended to connect them with healing pools and water. They apparently ascribed the same properties to the serpent’s egg, a smooth egg-shaped stone believed to have magical powers. Their altars too had snakes inscribed on them frequently. Norse mythology also incorporates serpents.<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Jormungand</em> was the serpent that guards Midgard. Its body forms a circle around the whole of Midgard, the home of humankind.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Native American Indian tribes regarded the snake as a symbol of fertility and rebirth. In their mythology, <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Unhcegila</em> was a giant serpent-like creature that could swallow a human in one gulp! Native American mythology also included a symbol that represented a snake deity called Avanyu that brought storms to the land.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even in the present day, serpents appear in the symbol representing the medical fraternity: two snakes wrapped around a staff. Otherwise known as <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Caduceus</em>, the symbol represents the staff of Hermes. The snakes entwined around his staff, which he separated in a fight, came to represent harmony. For those who are terrified of the ancient bearer of good and evil, serpents are unfortunately here to stay and cannot be eradicated from the planet magically, though St. Patrick may have a different view on the subject!</span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">PEGGY'S COVE</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">To all the Canadian's, this will mean something sacred, something unique and a place that has had its share of tragedy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Yet, it still remains unscathed, unchanged, and oh so warm and hospitable. The people in Peggy's Cove are like no other in Canada. Anything you know about Canada being safe, well, it is far exceeded in this Area. <i>Neighbourhood Watch</i> has nothing on the way the people live there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Fishing is a mainstay, fishing towns, hamlets and most impressive is the color! The color of the houses, of the water, of the main town buildings and to be noticed...the color of the boats.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It seems that every Canadian (or anyone from anywhere) know there are a handful of places not to be missed in Canada...and Peggy's Cove - standing out on the rocks by the Lighthouse - is absolutely one top list place of serenity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Ike, who lives on an island in Greece, captured this image to a T. Interesting - I wonder if the Island she lives on has some of the flair, the peace, the color,the community and the history of Peggy's Cove.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am completely amazed, quite honestly, that she has been able to draw (from the other side of my World) something that says "Yup - that is it!" Check out <a href="http://www.ikesart.com/#!__digital-art-stamps">Ike's Store</a> to see more of the same...spectaculara shtuffs!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For me, it speaks to just the type of artist Ike is...gosh...insert every positive adjective here!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So - hop on over to <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Ike's World Challenge</a> and see what's up. Go on over for a tad of relaxation; see what the girls on the Design Team are up to with their version of "relaxation."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And you? I'd love to see what it means to you...that one word that seems to say it all...RELAX! So nab one of Ike's freebie's on the Challenge blog or pay a visit to Ike's New Store (links above)</span><br />
<br />
Best to all, always.<br />
