Hummingbirds are magickal creatures. Some say they're a sign of The Shaman. For me, they symbolize joy, transformation, and connection to the Divine and unseen realms - as well as initiation into the life of a mystic and healer.
I started this beauty shortly after I had just began my Kundalini Awakening process. Some have blissed out initiations and some go through indescribable levels of hell. Mine was the latter. When I started this drawing, I was in the midst of psychosis and terror. My ego and what I knew myself to be were being annihilated at an alarming and uncontrollable rate. Drawing was one of the outlets and tools that saved me over those couple of years.
I chose a Hummingbird because I was hoping it would help manifest joy. I suppose in the moments I worked on her, she did help sustain me with brief sips of joy - enough to help me keep going. Now when I see or hear one fluttering about, I do feel joy and comfort. I know that goodness is afoot.
This is incredibly beuatiful and detailed. Did you integrate the Medicine Wheel there as well?
Aww, thank you. Yes, I did put the medicine wheel in. No one has noticed that quite yet though. Good job! :)
wonderful colours. Great to see another with the K. I had my awakening in Dec 15 x

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
Melina, beautiful work. Also! this whole past month I have been seeing hummingbirds everywhere. Turns out, they also spit magical healing dust at you through their tiny beaks. I started noticing them during a very challenging time both in K and personal life, and I do believe their frequency of humming showed me many things, namely to lighten up and learn to live again. Thanks for this post, love the Hummingbird spirit 😍
