SciFi and Fantasy Art The World Tree by Elaine M. Carter


	After having read Carl Jung, Scott Cunningham, C.S. Lewis, and a little bit of Joseph Campbell, I've discovered a profound truth about myself: I have way too much time on my hands! Interpret this however you will--I'm confused enough already.

17 Oct 2002	Lawrence Bonilla	Loading... that looks like a time warping tree. HEY I JUST WENT THROUGH EVERY SINGLE PICTURE AND PUT A COMMENT ON EACH ONE!!!!no wonder im tired, well good night and i just hope every comment goes on the list. bye. the only ones that wouldnt have a comment on them are the ones that came out after i came to this website looking for a background to my computer desktop, thank you Elaine for having such a great talent.
17 Oct 2003	Wynter	Loading... reminded me of the "Neverending Story" not the movie(s) the book....If you own an orgional hardback copy (or have found it in the library) you will see that it has type in 2 different colors (three near the end i think) and the book itself exactly matches its description inside of it....anyway this reminded me of it because of the Auryn ....two serpents, one light, one dark, grasping eachother's tail....ok, so this is only one serpent....but if you reead the book you would know the significance anyway.
11 May 2005	SuffraJester	Loading... It does bear a striking resemblance to Yggdrasil, the World Tree in Norse mythology. Especially with the blue spiralling design... it is said the roots of Yggdrasil held the Well of Urd, the waters of fate and wisdom. Wonderful symbolism in your piece, even if unintentional!!
9 Jul 2005	Anonymous	Loading... My own personal interpretation is the tree being life and the blue pool representing creativity thriving with the tree.
21 Aug 2005	Anonymous	Loading... I cant honestly even say that I like this, but it does something to me. I don't know why but I just keep staring at this design & I definitely think you are talented. Its rare when something like this makes such a strong impression emotionally, & I want to congratulate you for creating something that has this effect.
17 Oct 2006	Anonymous	Loading... would do great to my schoolproject! I love the design!
13 Jun 2008	Samantha	Loading... this is amazing! i was wondering if i can use this as a tattoo? email me with an answer..
1 Sep 2010	Jeanette M Thomas	Loading... The "blue spiral" fom which the tree is drawing its sustenance looks like the maze on the floor of Chartres Cathedral - an ancient way of "finding your center". Beautiful.
