Mistletoe
The power of the sun is painted at the top, the all-warming sun - the light.
At the bottom you see the earth, full of power (stones), of passion (roses), of victory (sig-rune) all are potential that comes to fruition when the sun (light) works together with the earth (darkness).
The middle part of the painting represents the gloom, the confusion where we cannot properly place our feelings, where our talents cannot express themselves very well. Simple because we are not aware of the interplay of light and dark.
The sun cannot constantly shine fully. The earth is not always separated. If we let the two work together - light & warmth - with - strength & passion - then the middle part becomes creative and joyful and we create a pleasant life for ourselves, and therefore for others too.
Mistletoe symbolizes the connection between light and dark.
