Tigers. Lords of the forest, these majestic creatures are known as much for their strength and ferociousness as they are for their beauty and grace. Thought to have originated in China and currently the national animal of India, tigers also hold a prominent place in the mythology and folklore of many Asian regions.

Seals depicting tigers have been found in South Asia dating all the way back several thousands of years ago - all the way to the Indus Valley Civilization! Steeped in culture, history, and even art, it is no wonder that tigers are such a popular symbol across all art forms, including tattoo designs - but what do these stunning animals really symbolize?

In Chinese symbolism, the tiger 'is an emblem of dignity, ferocity, sternness, courage, and by itself is Yin energy,' as well as 'energy, royalty, generosity, and illumination.' Tigers are also thought of as protectors of the dead, helping them find peace as they pass on.

Tigers are also often seen as a symbol of protection and are linked to the Chinese god of wealth Tsai Shen Yeh. In South Asia, the tiger is related to Durga, the goddess of war. All these associations link the tiger to power and divinity while also highlighting the ability of humans to harness raw power and the divinity within. Traditional and tribal tattoos from these regions often feature the dragon as an important symbol.

Chinese mythology also considers the white tiger to be one of the five classical planets, Venus. The tiger is associated with the autumn season, the colour white, the cardinal direction of the west, and the element of metal. The white tiger is said to only appear when a king rules with absolute virtue, and there is peace in all the lands.

Mrs. Aird (Belivaird)

It might have been the way her hand moved effortlessly across the canvas with every stroke she made, or the way her eyes would shine when speaking about her passion that she adored so much, or maybe it was her smile that seemed to captivate me every time.She was perfect in her own way and I wish I could tell her how much happiness she brings into my life by being present. How all my worries and fears seem to drown away when she's near, or how a simple "hello" makes my day.The only thing stopping me from getting close to her is that diamond ring on her left hand and how terrible of a person I feel every time I think about her in ways I'm not supposed to, and the fact that I would bring her into my fucked up life.Oh, and because she's my art teacher. Mrs. Aird, if you only knew how much I adore you.A/n: The story is not mine!! I'm only converting it into a Belivaird story because I think it's awesome! All credits go to @callmeCRAZY8 .

Dawn: The Retrieval of a soul and awakened poems

"What is happening to me and how come I feel so out of place in this world?" Something had to give at some point in earthly time. I was going to have to face some hard truths to find the real truth. The real truth lay dormant in my DNA until it was time to shine and that time came about 5 years ago when I woke feeling a different kind of thirst. That morning I took my first sip from the well of freedom from mind. It was just a small taste but I liked it and I needed more but this need would come with a price tag. Laying all around me were the deadened branches from my ego tree, I was being stripped of all falsehoods and I know now that I was being prepared for new challenges. I began educating myself by reading Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Wayne Dyer and countless more. I took great comfort in those who were stepping into their own power and I started to see myself in a different light and this light spoke of redemption and salvation. I hope that through my memoir I can be of service in this dark world to aid in the healing process because we are never alone.
