Dex

A mandala I made for Dex.
He was born last month on the 7th .

In his mandala I used a frog as a totem animal for him.

A quick-list for animal symbolism of the frog includes Luck-Purity-Rebirth-Renewal-Fertility-Healing-Metamorphosis-Transitions-Dreaming-Opportunity and Intermediary

In many cultures the primary symbolic meaning of frogs deals with fertility. This is largely because these cultures observed Frogs laying enormous quantities of eggs, therefore making it a fertility symbol as well as a symbol of abundance.

Around me a lot of babies are born. Lovely but I sure hope it is not contagious ;)

To me the frog is also related to joy and spring. No  frogs here to be seen yet. It is cold but the sun is shining today and somehow it can't be long before spring will be here.


Have been off line yesterday. Luckily it was only the adapter of the router which was broken. We still had the adapter from our previous router so problem was fixed this morning.
Gee not even 24 hours without internet and I feel challenged already........

Have a nice week!

    This looks similar to the other frog mandala. I think I like this one even better. I really like the love mandala from the previous post. You never seem to run out of things to put into circles. Amazing.
    I feel so disconnected when my computer is down. I never realize how much I use it until I don't have it.
