Chango!
Posted on | March 20, 2009 | 2 Comments
I am not a child of Chango, Yoruban orisha of thunder, but I have to admit a certain attraction to his virility and pure masculinity–and the drumming, let’s not forget the drumming (links to a real audio file). So, I jumped at the opportunity to create a shrine as a commission for one of his children.
Usually I create my shrines from used wooden cigar boxes, but luckily I read that Chango despises cigars before starting. Research, it does an artist good. I had some old office in-boxes laying around, so I used that for the container. Add a digitally modified image, rooster feathers, beads and vintage buttons, and a sigil/symbol for Chango (that frankly came to me in a vision and is not traditional).
Anyway, I am pretty happy with it. I hope that Chango is.

These links are great, but sadly I couldn’t really read the post because the type was too light! Girl… age is challenging these eyes of mine!

Lunarmusings: I’m sorry about the type. I am working on a bit of a redesign and will take that into account.
