Oooshala - The Water Horse
Some of you have been following my wildspeak entries in my journal where I talk about my practices as a contemporary shamanist / animist / totemist / insert-other-ist-here. And so you will have heard of Oooshala, my beautiful, strong, and still-so-young spirit companion.
Oooshala, is a young water horse who is still finding his voice, and mostly helps me in my shamanism to carry things I need for healing myself and others from place to place.
There are many types of mythological water-horse. However, Oooshala is based off a European type (of which - by the way - there are many, like the backahasten and the nokken), where he is a small fey pony with a mane and tail of fire. He lives in the sea to keep his inner flame from burning out of control; but he can emerge from time to time, lighting the path, and protecting those who require protection.

Date: 2009-08-03 05:40 pm (UTC)(you've touched my inner pyromaniac, lol).
I realized soemthing though; he seems to have different moods showing in his eyes and (to a lesser extent) his face at each step of the drawing process that you showed us.
The picture is alive.
