Oda/The True Bride (Tongues of Flame #7).
This is the front view of the seventh installment in the Tongues of Flame Series, “Oda/The True Bride”. All guitars in this series are designed around the personal mythology/karma/medicine and interests of the musician I’m crafting it for. This often means that the individual stories and insights represented by the art are not mine to share in any great detail, but I can usually at least articulate the themes. Oda revolves around the themes of relationship to the feminine (the anima, yin, and the femme fatale), of attachment, destiny, individuation and self-knowledge as a means of transcendence.
