I went down to the crossroads, / Fell down on my knees. / Down to the crossroads, / Fell down on my knees. / Asked the Lord above for mercy, / “Take me, if you please.” Excerpt from Robert Johnson”s Crossroad Blues Started with a basic photo of a road and added the storm with a photo of a cloud I took and build on that photo with brushes and blurs and film grain, added photos of a hat, cats,chickens and a house and blended these with the backgrounds, detailed with brushes and layer effects.

Eleggua (Eshu) is an orisha, and one of the most known deities of the Yoruba mythology and related New World traditions. He is the owner of every road of life. His residence is at the crossroads when he is not hiding behind the front door of the home, watching all who enter and exit. He is identified by the colours red and black, and his caminos, or paths, are often represented carrying a cane, shepherd’s crook, as well as a pipe. / Eleggua must always be contented, for he can play with our lives at any moment. He opens and closes at his whim the gates to Heaven and Earth, to fortune and misfortune. He is the Messenger, the Mediator between men and the gods. Every religious ceremony must begin and end with a hymn to call upon Eleggua. A powerful ally and a hard teacher, Eleggua should always be cared for and respected. / He is a trickster-deity, and plays frequently tempting choices for the purpose of causing maturation. He is a difficult teacher, but a good one.
Taken on that junction in the title in the City of London. A slow shutter speed to capture the action and very lucky timing to have 2 people waiting to cross as 2 buses drive past.

Yellow Brick Road. I love hearing what people see in this painting!
Dark of the moon, blazing torch in hand / the goddess Hecate walks the land Three roads crossed with her sacred dogs / loyal to magic shared and secrets of fog Guarding households, this goddess of death / protects all newly born upon their first breath Healing is her gift for change to take place / smoothing passage, pain leaving no trace Maiden, Mother and Crone wise beyond years / keeper of traditions lost amongst too many fears On this night, the power is true to stand up / femininity asserted to fill one’s own life cup. tkrosevear 11/16/2008 Last year, I celebrated this “Night of Hecate” with two other wise women in collaboration to a writing called Crossroads to Humanity the fourth installment from Peace Candles. / Elsie Duggan , also from Redbubble was one of the contributors, Liz is also on RB but not so active. The image is a stock photograph of Hecate’s Straight between the Queen Charlotte Islands and British Columbia mainland, Canada with a merged photo of a Hecate statuary from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, US. Hecate was a beautiful and powerful goddess in her own right, she was the only one of the ancient Titans who Zues allowed to retain their authority once the Olympians seized control. Zues shared with Hecate, and only her, the awesome power of giving humanity anything she wished (or withholding it if she pleased). / Usually classified as a ‘moon goddess’, her kingdoms were actually three-fold…the Earth, the Sky and Sea. Having the ability to create or withold storms undoubtedly played a role in making her the goddess who was the protector of sheperds and sailors. / Hecate was called upon, requesting her guidance in helping to choose the right direction, as well as protecting and restoring the health and growth of a child. She also played a role helping the elderly make a smooth and painless passage into the next life and staying with them to help them , preparing them for their eventual return to earth in their next life. / Hecate reminds us of the importance of change, helping us to release the past, especially those things that are hindering our growth, and to accept change and transitions – asking us to let go of what is familiar, safe and secure and to travel to the scary places of the soul. On this night, if you had Hecate’s powers…WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE HUMANITY? Between the Shadows
From the Sandwick series - Selected view from my toonship under far less malicious skies. / Note on place names and their endings [“ister”, from ON., meaning “farm” or “settlement”] Moment in time. / There is a sense of questioning. Where have we been – where do we go? / From viking raids via Hansa, from herring queens to the black gold… / Generations of islanders still welcome you with the same warmth.
