Bower birds and Bower at Croydon.

The male collects bits and pieces. This one concentrates on silver and a bit of red. I've seen other bowers where the dominant colour is blue or yellow. In the second photo, you can see the silver alfoil, aluminium screws and a couple of pieces of red. The males build a Bower and decorate it, hoping to attract a female. If she visits and his courting display and dance is agreeable, they'll mate. She then builds a nest and rears the chicks alone.

On my travels.

“You’ve collected all the blue you can find. — You’ve scoured the earth for every little scrap of blue. — And now all that’s left is for you to wait for someone to validate your work. — It might be that you’ve done it all for nothing. — It might be that your bower seduces no one — But you’re too compelled by the blue to care.”

- Antonia Angress, Sirens and Muses

Deborah Kip, Wife of Sir Balthasar Gerbier, and Her Children

Artists: Sir Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640), Jacob Jordaens (Flemish, 1593-1678)

Date: 1629-1630, reworked probably mid 1640s

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Description

Deborah Kip and four of her children are shown on a terrace elaborately appointed with entwined caryatids that support a bower, a setting that points to the family's elevated status. Their prosperity is also evident in Deborah Kip's elegantly embroidered skirt and lustrous blouse and cap. Perched on her chair is a blue-gray parrot, a symbol of aristocratic wealth and an allusion in Christian art to the Virgin Mary, the perfect mother. As she holds the baby on her lap, son George holds back a curtain; Elizabeth, dressed entirely in black, is serene and composed; and Susan rests her arms on her mother's knee and returns our gaze. Despite the elegant setting and the bravura brushwork, Rubens controlled the composition so that the tender relationship between the mother and her children remains the focus.

Rubens initially painted the family group at the core of the composition on a vertical rectangular central piece of canvas, to which he - perhaps while still in England - added strips on all four sides in preparation for the almost square final composition. When Rubens returned to Antwerp in April 1630, he took the still - unfinished family portrait with him. The painting, which remained in his possession, was probably completed by Jacob Jordaens after Rubens's death in 1640. An expanded copy from the Rubens workshop, one that Balthasar Gerbier almost certainly commissioned for his personal collection, is in the Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.

This is the bower of the MacGregor's Bowerbird. A unique bowerbird which makes towers and not reverse arches. It is purely amazing and they are one of my favourite birds ever.

Would you be willing to talk about how you cleanse a space before a working?

This doesn't always look exactly the same, but it generally involves a purifying fumigation, an invocation, and a personal alignment.

However, another important component of hallowing the working space, which is unique to the Wending Way, is the raising of a bounded and empowered tesseract of liminal space known as the Bower.
