The Celts used to engrave many spells written on their arrows. The Sioux Indians also painted many geometric symbols on their medicinal arrows. Arrows hold many special spiritual meanings. This is the first evidence that from the very beginning, the use of bows and arrows was seen as a way of communicating and expressing the will of man. More specifically, pulling the bowstring is a metaphor for a potential release of the energy of the forest. Drawing on the bow is seen as a way to control and convey that energy. And finally, intentionally shooting an arrow is a means of sending The Archer’s will through space to her target.
