There is no need to journey back in time nor to China or Egypt for an understanding of Yin Yang or the Ouroborous. There on the roof lines of Somerset churches are medieval decorative carved stone figures called Hunkypunks. These figures are complimentary to each other, some are pure and peaceful and others are fierce and obscene. They represent an ancient, spiritual understanding of the balance of life and they are sometimes paired that way to the eye of the observer. It is a perspective rarely communicated in modern life and philosophy, drowned out as it is with the commercial siren of 'never enough'. That shouldn't stop us from continuing this ancient tradition and have with us an ever present visual reminder of the cycles and rhythms that make up the balance of life. These ancient voices are racial memories of the timeless unfolding of feast and famine, of Dark Ages and Renaissance, of the light and darkness within man. They are memory sticks in stone. Hunkypunk is such a fun word. “Oh this amulet, this is my hunkypunk!” “Your what?”.
