I first began the art process for this piece by thinking about the realm of Horus and how my inner Horus views 'rulership in the outer world'. Having concluded inner Horus mostly likes to have a well feathered nest with lots of shiny things, I got the large 14x17 inch paper, intending to do a mandala. But when the intuition got at the paper, two ba birds emerged, representing two souls (psyches) communicating via the 'magical' airwaves and sending good thoughts to each other. I drew them so large, there was no room for the rest of the mandala. So it took a bit of trickery to get the embrace of Nuit (aka Nut) included. Many fixes of the line drawing, and then many fixes of the colored version later, I'm at last happy with the piece.

(I don't really think my inner Horus is that shallow and materialistic, (however much I like the 'shiny things'). Maybe the ba birds came from from my intuitive Higher Self letting me know that looking outwards, I am aiming towards communication, (in this art case the communicative "psychic" magic of 'sending blessings').

The 'wild hair' of Nut is found in ancient examples. Kelsey Museum of Archaeology has a mummy case with a wild haired Nut:
