My totem
This little creature has the power to sustain fire! Symbolically it is standing tall within the fires of life!
As a totem symbol, that runs throughout many cultures, it is a remarkable one!
Alchemically it is the power of fiery reactions and used with cool water to make steam!
I captured this image over the rooftop of our neighbor’s home across the street. It came so close ! I call this the Woolsey fire Monster! In the center of the fire light I caught this terrible image. Yes we endured a terrifying time ! Trucks were packed up and cats were ready … we were lucky!
The Woolsey Fire was a wildfire that burned in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties of the U.S. state of California. The fire ignited on November 8, 2018.
— in West Hills.
