Angel, Native American

NATIVE AMERICAN ANGEL -  Native American spiritual beliefs hold rich accounts of spirits or angels - that the dead live on and even visit us.  Death is typically viewed as a door into the next life, or world, and not something to be feared but embraced.

"We believe that the spirit pervades all creation and that every creature possesses a soul in some degree, though not necessarily a soul conscious to itself.  The tree, the waterfall, the grizzly bear, each is an embodied force, and as such an object of reverence." - Ohiyesa, Sioux 1902 (aka Charles Eastman)

Yin Yang

YIN YANG -  The yin-yang symbol holds its roots in Taoism/Daoism, a Chinese religion and philosophy.  The yin, the dark swirl, is associated with shadows, femininity, and the trough of a wave.  The yang, the light swirl, represents brightness, passion and growth.
