COMPOSITION: The Vine and Grapes archetype are related both to the principle of plenty, strong will and luxurious enjoyment in releasing control.
Dionysius, the God of lush growth, flowing ferocity of wild creatures and the propagating power of sexual urges in procreation is the god of wine - grapes and vine.
The Vine plant itself is a strong growth climber plant, clinging in a flowing ascending manner unto the steepest of surfaces, offering grapes - a symbol of the rich and luxurious wine.
Thus - the message of this walking stick is a demonstration of keeping ones' grip over and through plenty, strength of will in growth as well as the ability to let go of control and enjoy the Dionysian pastime of wine drinking - as well as baroque aesthetic demonstration of carving superior art - the richness of life, carved into dark deep hued strong oak.
This walking stick owner, by using this richly engraved cane of abundance, demonstrates a balanced life path of leisure and procreative control in action.
