Three Mystical Birds of Ancient Kuzhebar

The work of all together 4 years (2009-2012) – the triptych â€œMystical Birds of Ancient Kuzhebarâ€ is finished now.
It is pyrography on wood with carved elements

The story behind:

Kuzhebarian tales say about three mystical birds, who are providers of different power-sorces. For mortals, however, the birds were dangerous and indifferent at the same time. One of them symbolizes darkness, another light and the third one wisdom.

Kuzhebarian people believed that each of these birds come to each person one time a life and everybody has to choose with which of them to be connected. People give their emotions, intentions and thoughts like food to the birds and birds provide them a power they have. One gives the power to complain or to be angry, another the power to be joyful and to laugh, and the third one provides access to wisdom and omniscience.

Aarukh – the third mystical bird of Ancient Kuzhebar

Aarukh – the third magical bird of ancinet Kuzhebar, the bird of wisdom and omniscience. It is usually depicted with multiple wings, legs and eyes, carrying the fate of human beings in one claw and their vitality in another.

diameter 58 cm

According to the old Kuzhebarian tales, Aarukh brings about transformation through the process of a special rite of passage, which can often be painful and unpleasant. The meeting with Aarukh can be very dangerous, but it can also be rewarding, bringing treasured inner gifts. To obtain them – one must look directly in the AarukhÂ´s eyes. What happens next is determined by which ones of the Aarukhâ€™s many eyes are open at the moment of meeting, as it is the birdâ€™s eyes that predetermine the challenges one must complete. Some are unable to withstand the stare of Aarukh, and are absorbed by the bird through her eyes.

Those who came through all the challenges were expelled by Aarukh through the special opening on its head. These people were now considered re-born and transformed. They were given a gift by Aarukh – a guardian spirit called Shu-khur (Shu â€“ inner, Khur â€“ guide), and a new name.

Ancient Kuzhebarians believe that it was impossible to be connected with the bird of wisdom in any known way, because wisdom cannot be external, it is the result of inner metamorphosis of the human being. This is why Aarukh is pictured without the symbols that indicate this connection, seen on the images of the other two magical birds.
