The butter always has a slight tang about it / British superstition The red-haired of both sexes are more libidinous and mischievous than the rest / Jonathan Swift in “Gulliver’s Travels” If you pass a redhead in the street you are to spit and turn around / Corsican superstition There was never a saint with red hair / Russian proverb Only two things are necessary to keep a redhead happy. One is to let her think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her have it / Unknown

Sophia by MoonSpiral
18×24 acrylic on canvas Thought it would be fun to do some goddesses in a kind of pop realism style. This is the Gnostic goddess, the feminine half of God and the mind of God, or the Divine Wisdom. Red Bubble homepage 10-6-09 close up of Sophia: / Check her out on a red tee:

Macha by MoonSpiral
9×12 pastel on Sennelier paper I have been in such a creative slump this summer, it would take an intense goddess like the Morrigan to get me out of it. Macha is an ancient Irish mother aspect of the goddess Morrigan. There are many tales of Macha amongst the Tuatha de Danann. In one tale she is a warrior queen with red hair, and in another she beats a horse in a foot race while she is pregnant then curses the men of Ulster to suffer labor pains. Though these tales could be of different women, they are all connected to the same goddess. / The Morrigan of course is the Celtic war and battle goddess usually connected to Ravens. She ushers fallen warriors to the Otherworld. In the ancient world where war was so prevalent we can only imagine how the Raven was viewed as it feasted on the bodies of the dead. There was a reverence and a fear at the same time. / I often ponder the role of the dark goddess in myth. She is obviously the embodiement of scary, but sometimes we have to be scared “to death” to overcome our fear of death. In the ancient world people seemed to accept that the Morrigan was a part of every person, our shadow self. In the modern world we are more apt to deny our shadow self and repress our Morrigan. Eventually she will always come out, we might as well face her and accept her as a part of us. / Morrigan is also a fate goddess, often connected to the Washer at the Ford. She is seen as an old hag washing the clothing of the men who will soon die. She weeps as she washes the clothes, as if she knows that the reason the man will die is because he has denied her. He has denied his shadow self, and now she has to come out to take his life. / Macha is here to help us remember our darkness, to bring it into the light of consciousness, so that we can transmute it into creative energy instead of unconscious destruction.

Tangerine by MoonSpiral
9×12 pastel on Tiziano paper I can’t seem to get “Tangerine” by Led Zeppelin out of my head right now. “The Living reflection of a dream”. What kind of woman inspired those words? Some songs just get lodged in your head and stay there for days and days. Tangerine video link

About This Group
There are so many different images of gorgeous gingers on redbubble and we felt they needed their own archive of redhead pictures and prose.
For people so often ostracized in society, they are still looked at with both awe and wonder – illustrated in the vast amount of carrot top photographs there are!
Anyone is welcome to join the group, whether you are a true ranga, chemically enhanced one, or just one of the thousands of fans!
