The unicorn was depicted in ancient seals of the Indus Valley Civilization and was mentioned by the ancient Greeks in accounts of natural history by various writers, including Ctesias, Strabo, Pliny the Younger, and Aelian.

Mermaid Lore - Christian Schloe Art
Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Africa and Asia. The first stories appeared in ancient Assyria, in which the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks and drownings. In other folk traditions (or sometimes within the same tradition), they can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing...

Artist Alessia Iannetti.
www.alessiaiannetti.comAlessia Iannetti was born in 1985 in Carrara and attended The Academy of Fine Arts where she studied with Professor Omar Galliani. She inherited his skilful technique of graphite on wood panel, and the “stigmata” of the most fascinating contemporary illustration which can be seen both in her perspectives and in her cinematography framing, made of blacks and whites, and of endless shades of greys, restoring the perfection of depth to monochrome and drawing.

Fingerprint of the Soul
In 'A Carpet of Purple Flowers' I mention the soul in various ways, one being when a soul connects to a baby in the womb at the time the fingerprints are forming ~ The soul imprints on the body/skin - time of merging.
In this post, I wanted to share some explorations of the soul. Having an open mind, these topics really intrigue me and get my imagination flowing. Since childhood, I've always question things and curiosity sends me deep into research mode, which leads to - What ifs? &n...
