Shaman of Coils Shaman of Blades Four of Spikes Five of Blades
FIRE: Inspiration, creativity, intuition, timing.
Shaman of Coils: Fire of Water.
Her face is a loggerhead sea turtle skull under a manta ray mask that watches a giant squid from the deep ocean. Hands of charred driftwood reach up to her out of the waves. She is the healer of shattered spirits, who searches the depths to gather and renew fragmented souls.
WATER: Feelings, emotions, attachments, subconscious.
Shaman of Blades: Fire of Air.
Masked as a snowy owl, she holds claw-shaped ceremonial knives on poles that claim land. She uses a bone spiritcatcher to capture, keep, and transmit lost souls with her breath, and travels to the Upperworld on reindeer antler bridges. She is the guardian of sacred places, spirit speaker, interpreter of nature.
AIR: Thought, intellect, conflict, communication.
Four of Spikes:
Interlocked tent stakes hold pebbles carved with watching eyes, guarding a Roman-style labyrinth that forms the center of a home, temple, or shrine. Two diamond crystals and a swirl of incense form the gate to this sacred sanctuary.
EARTH: Material world, physical body, work, skill or craft.
Five of Blades:
A feather-crowned shaman contemplates a ritual ladder of hawk-shaped sawblades. To pass the test and ascend to the sky, she must grow wings or climb without fear that the blades will injure her.
