This week has been focused around snakes and what they represent, the historical context surrounding them that have to do with the rise of the alphabet and the decline of goddess worship.  I played with clay and thought about the metamorphic phases that are represented by the dark birthing the light, i played with words in clay and clay shaping words, light shaping darkness and darkness shaping light.  The feminine as plant and vegetable was thought alot about, along with the rebirth and constant change that the snake or ouroboros represents.
