: I have been meaning to ask you if there are some good sources for
the
: symbolism connected with henna designs? anything you may have
written?

In my pattern book, linked below, I have the meanings and sources of
nearly every pattern. It's not the end of the rainbow, but it's got
better info on pattern meaning than most anything else I've seen. The
book isn't all traditional, but some is.

The big mama will come along when I get that part of the encyclopedia
written. Meanings of patterns can be elusive, but they're there if
you know where to look. It takes patience, and detective work, and
exploring parallel arts like weaving, rangoli and ceramics. (What
I've seen so far in the paperback books on henna is mostly
innacurate.)

down the rabbit hole thinking about the meaning of life, the universe, patterns and everything
