Anthropomorph with crenelated arch #2
This is one of the Antropomorphs with crenelated arch. Early in the trance state irregardless of how it is accomplished geometric forms such as spirals, circles, arches, dots and wavy lines appear. So these forms are representations of the early trance state. As one enters the second level of trace state these wavy lines appear as snakes (the reason snakes are so common a form associated with shaman and trace cultures and ofter are the gate keeper. During this phase the individuals tries to make sense and decode the entropic images. As they enter into the deepest leves of trance the entropic images are seen as iconic images where metaphor overcomes simile and the wavy lines do not look like snakes they ar snakes. The shaman may become snake or another associated animal. in this image you can see the anthropomorph at the center of the crenelated arch.
