Keywords
The Grumpy Old Troll
A troll sits next to a smoldering campfire, waiting for his future dinner to cross the bridge. Bridges symbolize danger and transformation, serving as portals that change us by transferring from one reality to another. In ancient times, travelers risked vulnerability crossing bridges, facing fears of ambushes and the deep-seated fear of what lies beneath them, echoes of monsters under the bed and threats lurking in the dark.
Symbolism of the Scene
The troll's fingers are dipped into the river, where the flowing water symbolizes consciousness and the force of life. The eyes of a secretive observer peek from behind a tree, representing a mysterious guide, totem, or ally. Smoke from the fire drifts upward like burning incense, indicating that your passionate intentions have far-reaching implications beyond your imagination.
Meaning
The path is open ahead of you. What surprises await ahead? With your passport received and tickets in hand, the adventure begins.
Shadow
The troll under the bridge represents what we hide. Positive qualities can get lost in the shadow if we suppress them. Are you hiding a talent or denying yourself the pursuit of a beloved activity?
