“The task of sacred pain is to transform destructive or disintegrative suffering into a positive religious-psychological mechanism for reintegration within a more deeply valued level of reality than individual existence.“
“”For the mystic seeking to chain the human mind in order to acquire a higher, more perfect form of understanding, pain provided the necessary psychic shackle.  This is why we see the mystics conscientiously intensifying pain on the surface of their bodies through vigorous scourging and within their bodies through concentration on the Crucifixion, until finally the contents of the world were canceled out in their minds.”  Pain unmakes their profane world with its corporeal  attachments and leads the mystics away from the body to self-transcendence.”
-From Sacred Pain: Hurting the Body for the Sake of the Soul, by Ariel Glucklich

For eons, an ancient voice toiled alone in the illusory realm of its own making. Until one day, a desperate soul seeking salvation for her pack had a fated encounter with its remnants in the waking world. The ancient voice’s cries for freedom and vengeance engulfed her.
From then on, the Queen of Beasts began to dream with her eyes wide open- tirelessly carrying out the will of these dreams.

Hey, y'all!
Here's a portrait of our favorite pretty archer boy I made as a gift for my lovely friend, Lori!
With this piece, I feel like I'm really starting to understand digital art now. And I'm getting much better at drawing people, too. And the whole process is going faster as well. I used watercolor brushes to color this piece, which was uhhhh... a choice 🤣 But at least with digital, there are layers, erasers, and undo buttons, so it's infinitely easier for me to do digital watercolor as opposed to physical.
Let me know what you think! 😊🖤
