Fire in the Hole!
From a volcano erupts a flourish of fire and a river of flame. Dancing on that river of flame is a masked woman. She smiles and waves to us. Her hair seems be be in cornrow-like braids - there's something twined in her locks. Odd that with all the fire around her, her hair isn't singed. I can't make out the symbol on her necklace. It's not a pearl. She holds a wand overhead. The wand is of living wood with a green ribbon, a yellow ribbon (straw perhaps) and pearls wrapped around it. The headpiece is a yellow globe, twin to the sun over her head. The smaller sun of her wand appears to rest over the volcano just as the true sun appears to rest over her head - all part of the magic of perspective. Interesting that in the distance we have Nature's representatives the true sun and erupting volcano. In closer perspective we have Nature's offspring, the dancing woman and her smaller sun-tipped wand. There is vibrant green on both sides of the river or trail of fire and flame. No sign of singeing on either side.
The sky is pink, purple, orange and yellow with a plain sun in the center. The sun has no swirls or beams eminating from it. It's like the sky is soaking up all the heat and light and giving the pinkish sky in return. Is this the 'red sky in the morning' that gives warning to sailors - or is it the 'red sky at night' the sailors' delight? It doesn't seem to make a difference to the Fire Dancer. It's the flame that fans her delight, the joy of the journey.
There are lit torches on both sides of the border, but their flame doesn't seem to burn as vibrantly as the river of flame or Fire Dancer's costume. In the lower right corner is a green bush (I don't recognize the species). There is also a hatching chick and something else that I can't quite make out. Higher on the right border is a club and the Rune Uruz. On the left side is a wand of living wood topped with a yellow, smaller sun-like globe. This wand is wrapped in greenery, a yellow ribbon/straw and strand of pearls.
Uruz is the second Rune of the first Aettir (first row of eight Runes in the Elder Futhark). Uruz is the 'Rune of vital power and will. Rune of formation and organic structuring' (ref. The Nine Doors of Midgard by Edred Thorsson). In readings it can represent strength, tenacity, formation and luck. An interesting choice for the Fire Suit because part of the Lore of Uruz comes from the rime-encrusted ice blocks flowing across Ginnungagap. Audhumla, the cow of Creation licked these blocks and formed the first man-like beings. Uruz represents the fire of Creation as opposed to the Need-fire (Nauthiz) or fire of unbound Life Force (Fehu).
