The Council of Two

There is no place more magical than the deep undergrowth of the forest, and this piece is where my love for the chaotic beauty of the Northwoods truly comes to life. It is an immersive world of ferns, vibrant wildflowers, and hidden mushrooms, all bustling with a secret, powerful energy.
At the heart of this wild garden are the two Crows. Crows and Ravens are figures of immense intelligence in every culture, including the shamanic traditions of my Finnish heritage. They are not just birds; they are The Council, the quiet observers who hold the secrets of the woods.
They perch together, sharing a silent council on the cap of an enormous mushroom—a nod to the unseen, interconnected network of nature. They survey the bounty of the bloom and the mysterious fungal life, reminding us that wisdom is found not in the loud, open world, but in the dense, silent knowledge of the earth.
