in my dream

I saw a seated figure, draped with head down. As I approached, she stood up and as she raised her head, I had a sense she was the archetypal spirit of Praying Mantis.

      it only seems fast because all the hard stuff gets done in my head. what you see is just the follow-up.

    WOW.
    I see feathered wings (at least in this smaller version). Hecate or the Cailleach.
    She needs a story as well.

      no feathers…look closer, they are more insect-like and veined. i don’t think this one has anything to do with human gods/goddesses. pure nature spirit–before the gods. i actually saw this one during a shamanic journey.
