Story
The Life Path Game was inspired by Bird Woman, a gentle yet powerful source that can assist in the process of letting go, expanding our perspective, and trusting in something larger than ourselves. Birds have been known throughout the ages as helpful messengers and Bird Woman is no exception. Each section of the game introduces a Spirit Bird with qualities that teach us how to ease the way along our life path as we evolve to higher levels of awareness & acceptance.
"I’d like to tell you a fairy-tale that is based on a true story. This is the story of Bird Woman."
Once upon a time in a patio made of stone was the shape of a woman with the head of a bird. On the night of the lunar eclipse of the full moon, Bird Woman made a wish to come to life in three dimensional form.
The wish filled the heart of the artist & she called on the magician of metal who chose to create Bird Woman in the most durable & beautiful steel that changes color from silver to gold & copper.
The spirit of Bird Woman inspired the artists in perfect harmony to orchestrate her own becoming, so that she could share her message of harmony & hope. And now she holds the songs of many birds inside her to be carried on the wind as her message continues to expand and evolve.
Birds are often seen as symbols of freedom, hope & new beginnings. They symbolize joy, peace, & prosperity, & have traits such as courage, strength & resilience.
“Birds invite you to see things from a higher point of view. Ancient traditions & beliefs speak of the divine uniting with earth through the power of birds & feathers. Birds unite the energies of Heaven & Earth.” - Alison DeNicola.
"Our relationship to birds is to reawaken an instinct lost that once kept our hearts close with all of life & in sync with the wisdom of all species.” - Lesley Morrison
“Bird holds within her the wisdom of the ages.” - Susie Green
“Once upon a time there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn & to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated.” - Terry Tempest Williams
