This image depicts Egyptian Hathor, a goddess whose father Ra once dispatched in the form of a disembodied eye to spy upon humanity and report bakc what she found. The ankh, among other things, represents her as this All – Seeing Eye, thus everything she gazes upon turns to abundance and multiplies. Hung indoors, ankhs created good fortune and prevented its leaking away from the dwelling. The temple pillars display cow – eared Hathor, sistrums, and prayers of praising and invoking favor upon all who gazing into her portrait and the text. Priestesses sing and play her sacred instrument, the sistrum. Like most mother goddesses Hathor has a shadow side, the Destroyer, but was commonly associated with: the Nile, joy, love, fertility, midwifery, motherhood, dancing, music, poetry. Cows, turquoise and malachite were sacred to her and the falcon, sycamore trees, color red, cobra, sun disc, cow horns and color red are also connected to her. I painted this as a sort of icon, and its intended as a visual prayer, to focus fortune inside a dwelling, and instill joy. Many ancient traditions hold that displaying a divine image invokes the blessings and energy of the deity or holy person represented. For some, meditating upon them opens an inner doorway to Truth. Others employ spiritual, mythic and religious imagery as inspirational and motivational tools. In each instance the divine imagery communicates a message without the interference of language and its connotations. This painting portrays Hathor prior to 2700 BCE. The ankh symbolizes her Eye, and thus all it looks upon turns to good fortune. The pillars are inscribed with hieroglyphics praising the goddess and invoking her favor upon all who look at the image and text., a common practice. I researched every aspect of this painting to make certain it is historically accurate and in harmony with what has been found in what remains of her temples.

East opens the day at dawn, / Releasing the Sun / From night’s ebony box. / The mind awakes / with childlike delight. / Spring fills the breeze / with sweet flowers and the / shimmery sound of bells. / Here the birds unfurl their wings / and all the world takes flight. Elizabeth Barrette Ostara brings an optimistic energy as we celebrate the beginning of Spring and a turning point as the Northern Hemisphere once again tilts back towards the Sun. Until this tilt takes place, now is the time of balance – equal day and night – yet also a time of anticipation, as from this night forward, the light once again conquers the darkness.

Epona 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.

Bastet had the roles of fertility, protector of children and the protector of all cats. Bastet became so popular that she became a household goddess. Bastet’s counterpart was the goddess Sekhmet who represented the cat goddess’ destructive force. Sekhmet is known as the goddess of war and pestilence. Together, Bastet and Sekhmet represented the balance of the forces of nature in Egypt. Painting in mixed media / 100×42 cm 3rd October 2008 Music -

An entry for the Challenge cafe competion “The butterfly effect” At our most basic level; humans are built, controlled and maintained by the genetic code DNA. / It’s what makes us individual and gives all of us unique characteristics. / However, what happens when there is an alteration in a tiny portion of the sequence ….as tiny as a single letter being replaced for another? The effects of a mutation at this cellular stage can be positive or negative but the outcome will resonate throughout the individual’s entire life and ultimately the generations that follow. Please follow this link if you want any further information on how mutations occur.
