"Axis Mundi" Limited edition print
"Axis Mundi" Limited edition print
In shamanism, there are considered to be three realms - upper, middle and underworld. The "Axis Mundi" is the central axis that runs through the cosmos and allows the shaman to travel to the different realms. The Axis Mundi is often represented by a tree, with the trunk in the earthly, material realm that we inhabit. The upper branches of the tree represent the spiritual world and the roots the underworld. During a visualisation practice, an entrance (into a trance) and portal to the other realms of consciousness is offered by the Axis Mundi and can be visualised in nature as a hollow tree, into which one crawls in order to access the darkness of the subconscious.
During a guided visualisation to meet my spirit guide, I entered through the hollow trunk of a tree and found myself in another forest, surrounded by ferns, and acutely aware of the thick luscious pelt of a wolf softly breathing beside me, almost a part of me, rather than a separate entity. The presence was reassuring, like that of a powerful but placid dog protecting a small child.
This is one of a number of pieces inspired by that vision.

Care instructions
Care instructions
Please do not leave your order in packaging for long periods. Packaging may get damp on its journey to you, causing the tape adhesive to leach and creating some discolouration around the edges of the print. This has happened in a VERY tiny proportions of orders (less than 0.03%!), but I would hate for it to happen to any more. To be on the safe side, make sure your print is removed from its packaging as soon as it is practical to do so, and stored in a dry place out of direct sunlight. The archival inks will not fade but it's always a better idea to keep artwork out of direct sunlight.
