Sorry! I really like the Cho Ku Rei symbol on the site that JP linked - my only request is to reverse the image, so that the "tail" at the top points to the right and it looks more like an eighth note. ;) Does that make sense?<br /><br />Am I getting really demanding to ask if we could do something with Om and the lotus at some point too, because those have been symbols of my own philosophy and sources of strength for me for a long time? I don't want Om/lotus instead of the Cho Ku Rei, because I think they symbolize and mean different things. Om and the lotus help me to remember that beautiful things come from the lowest, most awful places, which is important, but not the same as a power symbol for healing. :)Jessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482829338366545360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991776032924887707.post-70122372400386914152011-03-04T14:56:19.593-07:002011-03-04T14:56:19.593-07:00Have there been any decisions made on a version of...Have there been any decisions made on a version of this?Tara J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06564019796636468632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991776032924887707.post-49913332265427465612011-02-27T09:08:10.146-07:002011-02-27T09:08:10.146-07:00I love this quest!

Was there a particular reason for wanting it to be made out of metal? I don't want to sound like Pollyanna here, but I'd actually rather prefer wood, for two reasons: a) despite being a Metal Rooster by Chinese astrology, I have more affinity for wood and b) a lot of metals react weirdly with my skin. Nearly everything I wear has to be either white gold or silver, which could get a little expensive to cast. u_u Plus, with wood, Matt can do it on the epilogue machine at the shop, which would be quick and easy.
