Artisan Crafts / Woodworking

A new woodburning for my Box project.

Special submission for the contest "Tree of..." from
I've chosen the theme of life cause trees mean life for me.
In my creation, it is lightly implies :
- Life as cycles with roots as non-ending knots
- Life as fertility and prosperity with green and opened leaves
- Life as movement with spirals
- Life as healing with sacred geomerty (knots, nine levels, spirals...)
- Life thank to colors (green for health & love, orange for joy and power)

Finally, we can see also the great World Tree :
- Each branch symbolizes one of the shamanic nine worlds (we can find in many cultures, religions and shamanic traditions as norse one with Midgard, Asgard, Vanaheim, Ljosalfheim, Svartalfheim, Nifleheim, Muspellheim, Helheim & Jotunheim)
- Celtic knot symbolizes the great infinity and energy of life (as prâna, pneuma, önd, nwÿvre, ôd, bioenergy, noûs...)
- And the white egg which contains the tree can be the cosmic egg where all creations are possible. It also could the the other world (white and unseen where spirits live and create, thank to their thoughts, the material and visible world -> as Astral and Causal world or the Otherworld like Avalon/ Ynis Avalach, the isle of apples' trees from where white animals come).

Traditional craft : woodburning + drawing + painting
