Purification: 40 Days and 40 Nights.

One year, an amazing number of turkey buzzards (carrion crows) visited my mother's house. She became fascinated by them. Some think of vultures as foul, unclean birds. But to my mother they were symbols of purification. Eaters of filth who cleanse rot and corruption from the soul.

In the picture, the woman in the Tree of Life holds a candle beneath the watchful eyes of forty ghostly carrion crows, representing the 40 days and 40 nights of biblical purification.
