Grail Maiden

Grail Maiden by Thomas Dodd

Grail Maiden

“Those who actually handle the Grail, dispensing its riches, are women, the Grail maidens of lore, unwounded and pure. That women have such an easy familiarity with this cup suggests that whatever else the vessel might be, it is indeed an archetypal manifestation of the divine feminine…”

Grail Maiden belongs to the following groups:

PixElations - The Art of Photoshop, SANATORIUM B, Spiritual Art and Theatrical and Staged Photography

    hey Maria – thanks so much for all the praise – the description was something I snagged from the net – I did not write it. – which means I should go back and find who did so I can credit them – thanks!

    Wow, it’s really a shame we don’t live close to eachother. I have a whole series with this ‘grail ’ idea but didn’t work on it yet. Very well done again Thomas. I love your imagination.

    She handles the cup like the winged-death sisters handle sailors; with such ease.
