Day 2

My thought process is very scattered right now; I'm thinking about 10 different things at the same time, and I'm trying to get those ten things all down in paper at the same time. It will get a little bit hectic and I don't feel like fixing anything right now, so I apologize for any discrepancies.

Currently, I'm refreshing and expanding my knowledge on Wicca and trying to nab that Enneagram book from Ellen. I'm planning on reading it if I get the chance to. Also, I think I'm going to start moving away from tarot cards since I figured out that's not exactly what I want to do.

Grace came over to me today and added some of her insight into my work since she realized that I apparently hit a fork in the road. She proved to be very useful, and I think I can call her my Sounding Board and Commiserator. I told her that I was having some trouble, and she suggested that instead of focusing on the art aspect of things, to focus on the bigger picture and then draw something from that. She also suggested drawing portraits of people in STAC and characterizing them with what seems fit under the Five Elements of Wiccan religion.

The Five Elements are air, water, fire, earth, and aether (or spirit). In Wicca, the Tree of Life symbolizes this. It's specifically a tree because it's composed of the earth (soil and plant matter), water (sap and moisture), fire (through photosynthesis) and air (the creation of oxygen from carbon dioxide), all of which are believed to be united through spirit.

Right now, I'm just doing some more research on the five elements and seeing if I can match them to those of the enneagram test. http://www.religionfacts.com/neopaganism/charts/wiccan_five_elements.htm

This will take a while.
