anne_dNot the greatest pictures, but this one's a gift, so she needs to be stashed.
Mysteries is for my daughter Emily, who is nineteen; she's a quiet person full of odd and interesting thoughts.
Mysteries' face is a mask (or is it?). Her totem crow sits on her right wrist. She holds a quartz crystal for clarity of thought and inspiration. Her colors are the grey of the clouded night sky and the white, red and black of the Triple Goddess, and she has the crescent moon ornamenting her hair. Mysteries is small, only about six inches tall, but she's very powerful.
Edit: Mysteries scared my teacher. Apparently further explanation is required, because I don't think of her as dark. So:
I should probably explain a bit more - Mysteries isn't "dark" so much as she is quiet and thoughtful, like my daughter. Emily isn't a Goth, but she draws from that culture, among others, to create her own style. Also, Emily and I are both fascinated by celebrations of death as a part of life, such as Dia de Los Muertos, which is why the little skull face called to me. Emily is going through a difficult stage right now, as she's trying to decide what four-year colleges to apply to in the spring (for transfer), and if she's really ready to leave home (she's been busing to the community college). I thought Mysteries might help her clear her mind a bit, and maybe help her be less scared of these big changes.
