THE SCORPION AND THE TURTLE.
Tattoo design. Shaltmira, 2015.
This drawing is the allusion to 1847's illustration of "The Scorpion and the Turtle" from the Persian Kalilah and Dimna, an ancient fable which might have inspired The Scorpion and the Frog.
The Scorpion and the Turtle, is to be found interpolated in post-Islamic variants of the Panchatantra. In The Scorpion and the Turtle, the turtle drowns the scorpion after the scorpion tries but fails to sting the turtle through its hard shell. The study suggests that the interpolation occurred between the 12th and 13th centuries in the Persian language area and may offer a new starting point for further research on the question of the fable's origin.
John Malcolm, in his 1827 Sketches of Persia, from the Journals of a Traveller in the East relates another version of "The Scorpion and the Tortoise," very similar to the modern-day "Scorpion and the Frog." In this version, in which the scorpion attempts and fails to sting its friend over a stream; afterwards, the tortoise remonstrates with the scorpion:
"When [the tortoise] had placed [the scorpion] safe on the opposite shore, he turned to him and said, 'Are you not the most wicked and ungrateful of reptiles? But for me you must either have given up your journey, or have been drowned in that stream, and what is my reward? If it had not been for the armour which God has given me, I should have been stung to death.' 'Blame me not,' said the scorpion, in a supplicatory tone, 'it is not my fault; it is that of my nature; it is a constitutional habit I have of stinging!'"

Was ISIS a Scorpio?
Nobody knows. But what we do know is:
She was described as the Goddess of Magic, Great Lady of Magic and Lady of the Words of Power. This was in recognition of her magical gifts and understanding of power of magical words. The ambitious Isis mastered these abilities AFTER SHE POISONED RA and offered to heal him in exchange for her secret name. By sharing this secret all Ra's personal power and knowledge was transferred to Isis.

The TURTLE symbolism is characterized by the association with the Earth and earth symbols of groundedness and patience:
Symbol of the world, of the Earth. Ability to stay grounded, even in moments of disturbances and chaos. Slowing down, pacing yourself. Determination, persistence. Emotional strength and understanding. ANCIENT WISDOM. The turtle is also linked to the spirit of the water and the fluid nature of emotions.
Cultural depictions of Ancient Egypt reveals the earliest representations of the Nile TURTLE date back to pre-dynastic times and were associated with MAGICAL SIGNIFICANCE that was meant to ward off evil. Amulets and objects with depictions of the turtles represent the turtle as a force to defend health and life.

BA - BYE
Tattoo design by Shaltmira, 2015.
BA
Appearance: The BA was always portrayed as a human-headed bird, usually a human-headed falcon. The BA bird was often shown hovering over the deceased's mummy or leaving or entering the tomb at will.
Meaning: The word BA is usually translated as "soul" or "spirit". However, BA is probably better translated as "spiritual manifestation."
The BA is one of the specific components of the human being as understood in Egyptian thought. In the New Kingdom, the BA was a spiritual aspect of the human being which survived - or came into being - at death. It was endowed with the person's individuality and personality. The BA occasionally revisited the tomb of the deceased, for the dead body was its rightful
home.
The BA hovering over its mummy Animals were sometimes thought to be the bau (plural of BA) of deities. At Heliopolis, the bennu bird was called the "BA of Re." At Memphis the Apis bull was worshipped as the ba of Ptah or Osiris. At times, Osiris himself was called the "ba of Re".
The BA could also represent anonymous gods or powers. As such, they are occasionally represented in various mythological contexts. They are shown greeting the sun or traveling with it in its barque. In some illustrations of the Book of the Dead, BA birds are shown towing the barque of the sun during its nightly journey through the underworld. These BA birds may represent deities, whether or not they are shown with the curved beards of gods.

According to Egyptian mythology, the Bennu was a self-created being said to have played a role in the creation of the world. It was said to be the ba of Ra and enabled the creative actions of Atum. It was said to have flown over the waters of Nun that existed before creation, landing on a rock and issuing a call that determined the nature of creation. It was also a symbol of rebirth and was therefore associated with Osiris.
Some of the titles of the Bennu bird were "He Who Came Into Being by Himself", and "Lord of Jubilees"; the latter epithet referred to the belief that the Bennu periodically renewed itself like the sun. Its name is related to the Egyptian verb wbn, meaning "to rise in brilliance" or "to shine".
