Soon the path led into a gloomy tunnel between the old, dark trees. The entrance to this tunnel lay in darkness like an open gaping mouth. The path itself was the only white in this darkened pale green glimmer. Abraxas' steps became more and more reluctant, but the witch drove him forwards into the dimness. And as much he didn’t like this much too old forest he knew he had to follow her bidding.


On Abraxas

The myth of witches turning men into animals is at least as old as the tale of Odysseus' journeys, if not older. We discovered Abraxas in the late summer of 2011 when we bought mask and tack from the Fury-Fantasy Workshop. It had always been the dream of my beloved wife Arressia to handle a human pony. Later, while telling each others stories on our long roadtrips, we learned that Abraxas is actually a Hexen-Horse and Arressia is the one to call him out of me. Our life is rich and full of fantasy.

I ran across this site by accident. Most interesting. You all like to pretend to be horses and pull various carriages? I have a similar thing like that...
I believe in the most recent past life I was a Chinese in turn-of-century (you know, 1899 into 1900) China, and I believe I was a rickshaw puller. I still like to pull (usually ladies) in a rickshaw if I get a chance. It's... fun... for some reason. No, I don't disguise as a horse, just a human puller. It's just a curious little thing that's been with me all my life.
Your activities and pictures here are most fascinating! :thumbsup:

Thank you. You might have noticed that we usually try to connect the carts to our hips with help of the leather harnesses. This changes the effort to pull the cart dramatically, compared to using your hands like you do when pullig a rickshaw. With your hands, arms and shoulders you can easily balance the rickshaw's weight. Try this with just your hips and you'll soon realize that your body is totally unused to that. Running becomes much much harder.

We do it anyway, to immitate the look of the original. You have to keep in mind that just like puppet players try to achiev a certain visual effect and impact we, too, try to impress visually. And the same counts for the background stories of our lifesize puppets.
