Once again I was torn between the color variations. Each one seemed to have its own voice. This may also give you a bit of hint of my thought processes when I'm making a Mandala. The Lava pearl was created first, followed by the glowing blue moon pearl, followed lastly by the traditional mother of pearl. There is also an element in these that reminds me of the undersea aliens from The Abyss. Simultaneously it also reminds me of a strange astral tortilla pizza. Ah strange and tastey creatures from beyond!!!
In one of my previous posts, I mentioned the circle of people within the mandala. They are also present here. I see a group of tribesmen wearing strange masks. I think perhaps they are holding staves as well. Circled around the tribefire of life. I think they may be protecting it from the little angry daemonspirits in the corners. The circle of light does seem to be keeping them at bay.
