[Art] Umiri (Koondoola Land Spirit - 01)

Umiri (01)
(Swamp paperbark grove spirit).



I met Umiri many years ago now, and feel s/he is the patron of that particular grove of swamp paperbarks in the southern end of Koondoola; who no longer experience the regular rise and fall of the swamp since the government came in and drained them all away by using groundwater for our tapwater.

Umiri isn't a spirit I 'worked' with spiritually, just a spirit I paid respect to and still do from time to time. I don't get down to the Southern end very often, but I like it when I do. It feels older there, and more primal. And I'd be lying if I didn't say my meeting Umiri is a part of that.

You know, with all the Miyazaki I've seen, it probably is a little Miyazaki inspired. Maybe the night-walker from Princess Mononoke?
