The Bohemian Art Spirit

I imagined that The Morrigan would be a Spirit Protector for many people, in ancient tradition she has the same energy as Hecate   because she is a warrior woman as well as a healer.  I see her so clearly in all the battles going on in the world, I see her in all her terror and fury, but also as a loving protector and compassionate Mother, I know that is not what others see.  For this figure I have her caring a shield of skulls.  For me skulls are beautiful because I grew up with one or two around the house...yes...very odd, but for good reason.  First of all, my grandfather found them in a ditch during a horrible flood in my home town more than 80 years ago, which made the cemetery look like a lake, my grandfather talks about rivers of bones along the side of the roads. In those days his older son was studding to be a doctor so they talked it over and decided it would be better to honor the skulls at home instead of returning them to the pile of bones and it served as something for them to study and contemplate.  Often times, I used to hold one of the skulls in my hands before I went to sleep...imagine that...my grandfather would said, just be mindful that it is not a toy and by now it is very delicate...I actually felt very reverent about the whole thing.
