"Oh no, love, you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Just turn on with me, and you're not alone"
(D. Bowie)

This one is a LightKeeper but also a Guardian. She watches with her big eye, staring back at the cruel glowing eyes that make you shiver in the night.
She is made not only of Light, but of Darkness as well - and this gives her the power over it.
She is not afraid of the shadows and she knows them intimately.
.
She is a guide in the dark times, holding her little light up.
But she is also holding your hand as you stumble on dark roads, whispering to you...It's ok, I got you, this is nothing new to me, I walked through this already and I know the way.
.
She is winged, because birds know of hollow bones, of fragile bodies and of wild flight on impossible winds.
They learn at a young age to take the leap and trust their wings.
.
Her light is a tiny, beautiful, beaten quartz point sourced in my mountains. They are rare to come by, they are not mined but found on the ground. I don't wash them, so the Devas of the land can decide to travel with the crystal and its new keeper - the part of the stone set inside the Doll still carries the soil on it.
The battering this tiny quartz took fractured it, giving birth to a miniature rainbow.
She also carries an amethyst turned red for high iron content - the blood, the life force, the ties it forges, the Ancestors always there for us.
