Given to her by Yaltha, Ana's incantation bowl, symbolizes personal truth. Though Ana is initially fearful to write her prayer and draw her figure inside the vessel, she finds empowerment and freedom after doing so. Her words and drawings illustrate the veritable desires of her heart and spirit. As time passes, Ana often looks to the bowl as a remind of who she is, and what she wants.
