This is what I aspire to be… when aged… not a goddess really… but a white and powerful witch…All the lores of this art is there in our imagination and love for nature… your word is full of womanship.. and I love it. And the most I love of this picture… is the definite rpoof of wisdom… the Goddess is “old”.... is sage and old… wrinkled and infinite good…. The keeper of the Sacred Fire… her womd of Fortune and Force..the crowned moon goddess… like the ancient goddesses of the Cretiens… of rhe Grecks… or the Celtic misterious godess of the Night and Milk and Stars…. I love her.
