So, I suppose I'll delurk long enough to say hi. I think I've been hanging around quietly now for about a year. So, "hello!"
I'm one who goes by many names, but Draco is the one I've used longest aside from my given name, and is the name I use with my art. Guess it makes sense to use it for my other art, magick, as well.
As of this post, I'm still a seeker, though looking for a Feri teacher in the Seattle area. I do have a local friend who is Feri and is willing to teach but busy barely begins to describe him. Curious to if anyone knew of others in the area, just to expand my range of options, cause I'll probably get to a point where reading whatever I manage to find, is probably no longer going to cut it.
More about me: all of my past experiences with magick and related tidbits over the last decade have been whatever I've managed to teach myself from reading, but otherwise have been working with what I have at hand as no other traditions in the past have really grabbed my attention enough to want to seek a teacher, unlike Feri. Currently, I'm using my art as an outlet for working magick and simultaneously to give stength and life to my work. My work is influenced by mythology, pre-existing and my own as I make it up, by animals, real and fantastic and by historical art and design styles such as Egyptian statuary, Art Nouveau and illuminated manuscripts. To date, my most cohesive body of work was made for my thesis exhibition this past fall, Evocation by Fire. Individual pieces linked through here, if you're curious to what I do. www.deviantart.com/deviation/26745806/
Other gibberish...after reading the recent strings of peacock/serpent posts and references to the Twins and Paradise in a linked article, I thought it was rather amusing that I find out all these serpent connections to the peacock that I'd not known about before. What's so amusing, is that I just finished a drawing I've been working on since January. The image of the peacock was chosen for a couple different reasons, but the fact that it's holding a serpent with its foot (versus just having the two in the tree seperately) amused me more as a read yet more references. Though, the big "what the-" moment was reading the Twins and Paradise correlation and keeping in mind of the peacock/serpent/Twins connection, as the drawing is titled Paradisio. My day, just a few hours ago, just became a little more surreal. Image is here if you want to see what I'm yammering on about. www.deviantart.com/deviation/30178334/ Prints available on the site if you're coveting it.
Ok. I suppose that's enough for now. Going back to my cave to lurk.
Blessings,
~Draco
