The most frequently used animal symbols of ancient mythology are the boar, fish, serpent, bird, and herd animals are closely connected with the physical well being of the tribe. Divination of future events and past wisdom can be gained through proper use of animals. Very powerful opponents take the shapes of animals for extra power. Spirits and supernatural beings also take animal forms, often temporarily, before being reborn to guard a land or clan and thus its fertility. Thus, animals symbolize the essence of fertility and vitality in Welsh and Celtic mythology. Pariah, the image title is a testamant to the sci-fi book of the same name by Timothy Goodwin, a member of Art Wanted. Tim is a brilliant writer and artist who excels in the written word and as an amazing graphic artist. I am pairing some of my photographs with a science fantasy novel he is writing that is still in progress. I like to support the many talented members on this website. Timothy welcomes you to read his works, especially if you enjoy a diversity of genres in science fiction, fantasy and horror, It is worthwhile to see his work on his website @www.artwanted.com/ orion005
