The complete and real title is : “Poupée – InnerSelf”. I asked to myself : Stars… They bright the sky, our eyes, our mind & soul. They are inside of us. We always look for them, for these glimpses of lights and happiness. / Do we really know ourselves? / Do we realize that we have all of this inside of us? / What are we in fact? / As we don’t really look in the correct place, we don’t really know ourselves i decided to ‘almost’ delete the face.

The Raven symbolizes the dark and difficult aspects of life, which is a part of life we often misunderstand and rarely effectively deal with. The dark aspects are not bad or evil, as it is necessary to go through a process of darkness in order to emerge in the light. Dark comes before light, healing is preceded by illness, the storm eventually transforms to calm and so on. The Raven reminds us of the need for this balance, and that without accepting the full integration of the cycle of dark and light, we cannot truly heal. The Raven is also a messenger between two worlds: the living world and the twilit Otherworld or spirit world. By connecting these two worlds, the Raven initiates us into a new way of being. The Raven travels from this world to the next; accessing the darkest regions bringing back visions and instructions for the seeker and the healer. Often, before advancing in any spiritual growth, one must sacrifice or let go of old ways of being. The Raven gives us insight into what old patterns must die in order to make way for the new. In this painting, the Raven flies at twilight, the time when the veil between the two worlds is at its thinnest. It flies over an ancient megalithic mound, where one can access the Otherworld. I didn’t paint the Raven feathers simply black, but are actually made of layers of blues, violets and greens. I did this to symbolize that all possibilities exist within the void of darkness, just waiting to emerge. In Eastern and Celtic traditions the Raven is a solar symbol. In my dream the Raven flew beneath a full moon, which I have interpreted here as the night sun, illuminating the landscape. But, traces of the setting sun are still visible in the horizon and limning the edge of the mound and distant trees and hills. I am by no means and authority on the Raven mythos. Feel free to interpret your own meanings, and, please share them here if you like. It is always fascinating to hear how others interpret such powerful archetypes.

The Autumn Equinox is a Celtic Festival known as Mabon, and celebrates the powers of light and darkness being in total balance. Day and Night are of equal legnth, but unlike Spring Equinox in March, from now on the nights will be longer than the days and Autumn will descend into Winter. This is the Waning half of the years cycle , where we gather in the Harvest and make ready for the cold winter nights ahead. The life force goes back into the darkness of the earth and rests, before being reborne again in the Spring, renewed and full of fresh hope.

Yule / Winter Solstice Yule is the Celtic Festival of the birth of the sun. Winter Solstice is the shortest day and the longest night, but from this day forward the light will grow rather than diminish and the year turns once again towards the Waxing half of the year. In the darkest of nights there is still the silver star of hope and a promise of regeneration. The traditiona of bringing in the Holly,Ivy and Mistletoe at this time of the year is to symbolise that although the land looks cold and dead, life still persisits and the green of Spring and Summer will come again with the stregnthening of the Sun.

Three Celtic Crosses looking out to sea in Coverack, on the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall. I took this a few weeks ago while on holiday, and I am hoping that this will inspire me to get more done. I chose to do this as selective colouring, keeping the sea as colour. Hope you like it. / Thanks for looking. Pentax K110D. / Pentax 18-55mm Lens.

Celtic Mandalas are mysterious and embedded with secrets and symbols, offering a unique way to connect with ancient spiritual and aesthetic realities. It was almost hypnotic, even revelatory as I played with this “Triskele” or Triskelion – consisting of three sacred spirals or ‘Trinity’ representative for me of the Sacred Feminine, or Maiden, Mother and Crone energies. Symbolic of the on-going cycle of birth, life and death for the Celts…a primordial power that inspired them to be treated as sacred motifs.

Epona
by tkrosevearEpona was the name given to the horse goddess of the Celts. Her worship, widely popular in territories occupied by Rome, was eventually adopted by the Roman armies as well, who honored her as the goddess who protected their stabled horses, while a similar goddess Bubona was alotted the protection of oxen and other cattle. Although she was honored among the insular Celts in Britain and Ireland, the greater number of inscriptions and statues of Epona come from the continent. She was depicted in three poses; astride a horse, standing beside a horse or (less frequently) lying naked on the horse. When these sculptures and bas-reliefs show her holding an emblem, it varies also: sometimes Epona carries a cornucopia, sometimes a goblet, but most often a round bowl or plate. / Said to be the offspring of a mare and a man, Epona could take the tangible forms of both parents. Sometimes, too, she appeared as a rushing river, which suggests she was a fertility goddess, seen by Celts as water spirits. / Black horse/death; Gray horse/life; White horse/birth-re-birth ~ symbolizing light, life and spiritual illumination. / Self ~ Power/Divine Feminine Epona Photograph of mandala sketch, painted, edited and redfield plug-in fractilius in photoshop7.

DUNINO DEN / Dunino village in Fife has been a sacred ritual area for thousands of years. The path to Dunino Den starts at the Parish church which itself was built on the site of a stone circle. Rocks from the destroyed circle were used in the building of the church and its surrounding walls. In the graveyard there is a 3 ft rectangular stone which has a 17th century sundial carved on its uppermost face. It has become local custom to place a coin on the sundial for luck, and at any given time the upper face is completely covered in weathered coinage. Follow the path down the side of the church and you will discover a raised rock promontory jutting out over the Kinaldy Burn in the manner of a pulpit. Carved into the solid rock of this natural platform is a circular well which, folklore has it, was used by the Druids to conduct rituals involving human sacrifice. The well was a repository for the victim’s blood and the bodies were thrown to the burn below. Next to the hollowed basin there is also a footprint carved in the rock which hints at initiation into some kind of secret order or perhaps a sign of Kingship. A series of steps cut from the rock descend through a gorge leading to the Den proper, a natural amphitheatre. On the rock face at the foot of the steps is a Celtic Knot carving. The centre of the Den is marked by a Clootie Tree where pilgrims and travellers have left various rags, candles, dreamcatchers, wind chimes etc as offerings to the spirit of the Den or to ask that a wish be granted. Moving to the far side of the Den, one will find a 10ft Celtic cross carving on the cliff wall and near to that, a Celtic trinity symbol. / a bit o info i discovered aboot a pictish site i discovered while walkin the dugs years ago an went back for a visit this summer..its agreat place an there was some standin stones there as weel but unfortunatly as was so often the case in times when christianity was bein punted aroond scotland there were churches built oan the pagan sites an the auld ways were destroyed forever ..whit a shame…i applied some soft focus tae give it an atmosphere jist in case ye thought i hud made an arse o it /
