(Sculptural Glass Beads)

BirdWoman the ShapeShifter 3/15/08 Some say shamanistic cultures have been with us since humankind could communicate with one another. I'm just beginning to read The Quest for the Shaman by Miranda and Stephen Aldhouse-Green. Whether or not you like the word "shaman," the concept of someone who intercedes with the spirit world and uses this to heal others is a fascinating one. In some cultures, these chosen ones shift from human to another form of being, often to that of the spirit that will guide them in the astral world.

BirdWoman the ShapeShifter comes from all the things I've read about different cultures, from Egyptian to Tibetan to South Americans. She could be called a composite, but for me, she is simply who she is. . . a woman who can commune with the birds, learning from owl's wisdom, sharing longevity secrets with the cranes, singing with the songbirds.

Thanks for stopping by to visit with AngelinaBeadalina! I'm really just plain ol' Angie or Ang, but the catchy name does suit me in the sense that I'm a motormouth who loves to play with words almost as much as I love to play with glass! You can find me here at BeadArtists.org, in my Etsy shop, or in my daily blog. You can get links to those places at www.angelinabeadalina.com (click on it above). Please pardon the use of my "official" website as a traffic control signal at the moment-- at least, that's what it makes me think of when I look at it. . . lots of directions to other places where there are updates on a daily basis. Tech-stuff would not be one of those things that I love or that comes naturally to me ;) Well, enough rambling for now, come on in, look around. . . have fun exploring my glass experiments and ideas. Peace, Ang
