Moonlight Falcon by Oxana Zaika

Nautilus discontinued this puzzle, “Moonlight Falcon” by Oxana Zaika, and I was wondering why, because it’s such a fabulous image — licensing for the image? or, perhaps the figural of the horseback guy with the scimitar a little too orientalist and problematic? Regardless, the image is fabulous, and I was excited by all the fun whimsies — especially the djinn!

In the spirit world the Falcon symbolizes wisdom,vision and opportunities coming your way. They represent speed of thought and are the totems for protection and rising above challenges. It is considered to be good fortune when you see a falcon, as this beautiful and powerful creature can awaken your visionary power and bring you closer to achieving life goals. This is a particularly lucky falcon, as his colorful plumage also incorporates a Hamsa symbol, which is renowned across the Middle East for happiness, luck, health and good fortune.
