Lionheart
Spirit of lion
May we feel the purpose of your heart
Resounding in your roar.
Spirit of horse,May we feel the pulse of the earth
In your wild hoofbeats
May you joinIn strength and glory
As a symbol of how we long to be

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
I have always held a fascination for how different beings or aspects of nature can inspire feelings, especially when combined. In my Kindred Spirits Series I celebrate the beauty of horses joined with the empowering wisdom of other wild animals.The lion and the horse embody courage, strength, and purpose, combined with gentleness and sensitivity.
This piece particularly resonates with many people as a symbol of strength and courage, and is the card for Assertiveness without Agression in the Way of the Horse Equine Archetypes for Self-Discovery Book and Card Set by Linda Kohanov.
