HabuCharmer

This is just a really quick, rough sketch using 2 of my own photos, of poor resolution, photoshop layers and the brush and smudge tools.

Habu is a snake, a pit viper specificly, a "power" element dropped into the Japanese version of Tequila, so I learn from one I cherish who recently discovered it.

Snake is a symbol that weaves throughout my life, my daughters name, my Vedic sun sign (Rohini, snake), my Vedic moon sign symbol is the Lingam (Hindu phallic symbol of Siva; also symbolic of spiritual regeneration), actual encounters with sidewinders while living in the Sonoran Desert and dreams at periods in my life, in addition to being one of our primary collective symbols.

Though the wings are not that of an eagle (the Mexican symbol, with snake in beak, or in talons, can't remember) the image arose...with charged significance in my own psyche, a charmer with owls wings, or are they angel wings? ...will work these connections a little further in months to come, and develop the images overall story.
