I want symbols associated with Shark Cults and Shark gods. A number of Polynesian and Asian societies believed that sharks were gods or spirits. I want the symbols that these beliefs created (eg carvings, tattoos, statues, totems etc) |

Hi pmfxb! I have located some images of sharks symbolically used in worship. George Belcher Gallery contains images of ceramic bowls and water-sprirt headdress thay use the shark symbol. "The Shark Collection" http://www.gbgallery.com/GBGALLERY/shark.htm Another example of shark use in totems is from The National Park Service. Here they inform website visitors of the Raven/Shark Pole. "Carved History" Image 8. http://www.nps.gov/sitk/Cultural%20Resources/Totems/RavenSharkPole.htm Here we have a sketch of a totem pole including a sharks head. MOUNT RAINIER NATURE NOTES. Vol. XII October, 1934. No. 10. http://www.nps.gov/mora/notes/vol12-10c.htm Here is an image of a shark tattoo that could be used for protection by a worshiper. Lucky Fish Art http://www.luckyfishart.com/tribalshark.html Image number 7 at the website mentioned below includes a shark in the totem carving. Civilization. "Argillite Carvings (Haida)" http://www.civilization.ca/tresors/treasure/270eng.html google search terms used: shark OR sharks worship OR totem OR religion tattoo shark sharks worship totem religion carving shark sharks worship totem religion Other interesting reading: "Life Paths: Animal Totems & Earth Medicine" http://wolfs_moon.tripod.com/ShadowShark.html I hope these examples are sufficient for your query. Please request a clarification if you would like more images! Penguin |
