The main symbol is the anti-nuclear symbol. This represents my wholehearted commitment to peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons.
The menu bar on the right of the shield represents all of my internet activities. The internet being the first place that I started to express who I was deep down it has plaid an important part in forming the person I am now.
The prone lady represents depression a monkey that has ridden the shoulders of both myself and my girls. Depression has played a big part in getting me to where I am now as for the majority of my life I was depressed, even as a child. I never
realized I was depressed as I had no memory of being anything else. I thought life was that flat and meaningless for everybody. It is less that 3 years since I discovered a life free from depression and I have to say it is magic.
And that explains the fairies supporting it all. They are the magic, the spirit, the freedom, something that came to me later in life and hence is all the more precious.
The dove and the motto on the banner symbolize my relationship with the universe around me. My commitment to peace and my belief that it is important to be the changes one wishes to see in the world. The peaceful world I wish to see, let it start with me. |
The wolf head and the fire are me of course, the moon on the left ear is for
our (mine and hubby's) business which is called Nocturnal Moon, the symbol on the right ear is a Druidic symbol for Awen, the heart with the D in the middle is for my darling husband, the sprig is for my love of nature, the lil
square thing that you can't tell what it is, is actually a digital scrap booking
kit, since I am in the process or started my own personal business by doing one of my
favorite hobbies, and last but probably the most important thing on there is the silhouette of my precious Whisper!! She turned a year old in June and even the vet didn't think she would ever see that b-day. It's been a difficult but eventful year with her. She was born with a broken back which the other vets never figured out, but our current vet did. She is a real miracle kitty and my source of inspiration. I have watched her learn to crawl and climb and be one of the happiest creatures i have ever seen despite her physical handicaps and some difficult illness throughout this past year...I could talk about her forever sooooo...that is my Coat of arms. |
The angel was the first "computer drawing" I ever did (with a mouse). The beginning of my love of digital painting I suppose. She also signifies my love of storms, a higher power, nature's force and my guardian angel who has protected me thus far.
The swords are not in the traditional coat of arms position. Instead, they are positioned as a symbol of "Awen" ( /|\ ) or "inspiration". My personal belief is that anything is possible through the expression of
awen.
The motto "Carpe Diem" translates to "Seize the Day!". Always make the most of each moment of each day. |
