Ἥρα: Queen of Heaven I sing of golden-throned Hera whom Rhea bare. Queen of the immortals is she, surpassing all in beauty: she is the sister and the wife of loud-thundering Zeus,—the glorious one whom all the blessed throughout high Olympus reverence and honor even as Zeus who delights in thunder. / Homeric Hymn to Hera 12.1–5 More Olympians / / / /
Hera is the queek of the greek gods married to the unfaithful Zues, Hera is the saviour of Jason and the tormenter of Hercules Often she id represented as no more that a Peacocks Feather as she gave the bird its tail but she is also the goddess of the milky way eagles and all creatures with shells are linked to her as are the flowers lillys poppys and white roses. Some of you may notic a mistake in the border and such deliberate flaws are part of my work as most cultures were the symbols and designs that make up my work derive from belived that only the gods themselve were perfect so all mortal things could not be hence the mistakes.

Another of the New York exhibition. Hera was also one of the largest and has a lot of impact. The reaction is mixed from those who adore the openness to those who found it made them feel vulnerable. Again the subject is soft pastel, the surrounding work is mixed, but mainly acrylic, inks, gold, etc

This is my special restaurant in Gothenburg…I´m a Taurean, lol! / 18th century vaults. The Cow-horned Egyptian goddess Hathor was revered as the ancient Queen of Heaven. She was the patron of dancers, the generator of light and radiant power. The Cow is still revered in India, and the Greek Goddess Hera was / referred to as `Cow-eyed´, which was meant as a compliment. The reference to `cow´ is no longer thought of as a positive one…and it´s the same with many other words to do with the feminine today. Think of `crying like a girl´ or acting / `like a woman´… This has to do with the shift from a motherly, powerful creator Goddess to an allpowerful and vengeful male god, who can be kind and protective…if you are `obedient´. For about 2000 years the Cow/Bull astrological sign ruled the world and the animals were revered and sculpted all over the old world…think of Bronze Age Crete, where frescoes show young women and men jumping over the horns of bulls, acting like circus acrobats. It was a rite in honour of the ruling idea of the deity. The Greek word `acro´ means `mountain top` and that´s probably where the rites took place. Compare the word `acropolis´ which means `the (holy) city on the mountain top´ . The bullfighting practiced in Spain and Portugal today, seem to be of very old origin … remnants of old rites. This is an area where cave art proves that these animals were revered there at the beginning of history.
Hera was the Olympian queen of the gods and the goddess of women and marriage. She was also a goddess of the sky and starry heavens.

Goddess turned mad by her husband’s infidelities. Inscribed wax on board. /
Not my normal photography, but loved the result… As a favorite garden flower of antiquity, the lily was fabled to have sprung from the milk of the Greek goddess Hera and was linked to fecundity not only in Greece but also in Egypt and the Middle East generally, where it was a popular decorative motif. The only white lily that bloomed here in Washington, late this summer, shot as is.
This is Hera, a 6 month old bald eagle. I had the pleasure of flying with her today, and she was incredible…what a beautiful Baby…
