Description

There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.

Charles Mackay




Aaaaand this is the third. After this one [link] and that one: [link]

I've decided to create more "lives" on this one. Not only birds or roses, but also bees, monkey (capucin), snakes or wild flowers (It's a change with all my roses everywhere haha). And some objects.

Quick explanation of the symbols on this one.

The bird , on the top, represents the soul, leaving the body. It represents the intellect. It's the celestial world, in opposition with the earthly world, represented by the snake.

The lizard also symbolizes the soul, but the soul which is looking for Light with humility, unlike the bird which has wings and can easily fly to the heights.

In dreams, the monkey is a image of indecency, insolence, and vanity. Tibetan symbolism sees in it a representation of the consciousness, but in a negative way. It's the consciousness of the sensible world, because it jumps from a thing to another.

It's holding a key, which symbolizes the aperture and the closure. It can free you or lock you up. Maybe the key to free the soul from the material world?

Bees are a solar symbol. They are an emblem of resurrection and immortality. When they fly, they link sky and earth, and symbolize the souls in their migration or elevation.

The bee and the snake are alike. The bee representing the soul, and the snake, the mind.

The snake, who sheds its skin, symbolizes eternal renewal and youth. It's embracing a hourglass, which is a well known symbol of passing time.



I love symbols!! I hope you love them too!
