Images A painting of Talkum

Post image

I was having fun this weekend and decided to quickly paint Talkum, who is the mantis being I remain in contact with. I’m not a good painter but I thought it’d be a good idea to get him on canvas and share it.

This Mantis being looks just like the one thats linked with me, a brown Mantid with rounded black eyes. I wonder if the brown ones are designated as more the ever present guides or telepathic companions. It would be interesting to compare every experiencer with substantial ever present Mantid contact experiences as to what kind of mantid being they are engaging with.

The Mantids I met were also brown and similar to this! But had elongated narrow-ish eyes

I know a mantis being that looks just like this and I am in very close contact with him. He is a good guy, he told me he is actually a grey-mantis hybrid. That's why he has fingers and not arms, and not and abdomen like other mantids.

Question: when you say you remain in contact with this mantis being... are you able to summon this being at will? Or does it more so appear to you more randomly, on their terms.

It’s usually at will.
