Numina Art Dolls

In ancient religions, the numen was a divine spirit or force which was anonymous. Although it was not known as a person, its power and presence were felt. Usually, it was regarded as being attached to some place or object.

I have been working on finishing five small dolls from my "numinous" series.

I just love the sound of these words...numinous, numen and numina; a presiding divinity or spirit of a place, a spirit believed by animists to inhabit certain natural phenomena or objects, a creative energy; genius. By the way, you will find all kinds of references to numina/spirits in a wonderful book written by Charles DeLint, "Dream and Memory"

By the way, the forms for my numina dolls were created by my friend Monica Magness, if you feel like doing lots of beading she sells them in eBay for a very reasonable price.
