The Chaman's Kitchen

The hunter gives food for the people, and he is loved. But, the Chaman gives lies, false hopes, talk about imaginary stuff that only he can see, and somehow he is still loved...

want some chamanic cook?
shadesandshadows:  The Wounded Angel, 1903, oil by Hugo Simberg, 1875-1917, Finnish Symbolist painter.  The little angel is carried across a bleak background by two boys dressed in dark clothes. She stands out with her bandaged eyes, bloody wing and bowed head as she is taken to a hospital for the blind and crippled. It is assumed she will recover as the snowdrops she holds symbolize healing and rebirth.  This painting is believed to be a symbol of Simberg’s own illness with meningitis from which he recovered. He was said to have gained comfort from it.   This work was voted Finland’s “national painting” at the Ateneum art museum in Helsinki, Finland, in 2006. It was also the influence for musical works by Uniklubi and Nightwish.
