having a religious experience again… yet another self portrait! Over-layered painting is a photo taken of the ceiling in the Greek Orthodox Church in West End, Brisbane… it’s beautiful.
NYX was the goddess of the night, one of the ancient Protogenoi (first-born elemental gods). In the cosmogony of Hesiod she was born of Air (Khaos), and breeding with Darkness (Erebos) produced Light (Aither) and Day (Hemera), first components of the primeval universe. Alone, she spawned a brood of dark spirits, including the three Fates, Sleep, Death, Strife and Pain. / / Nyx was a primeval goddess usually represented as simply the substance of night: a veil of dark veil of mist drawn forth from the underworld which blotted out the light of Aither (shining upper atmosphere). Her opposite number was Hemera (Day), who scattered the mists of night, or Eos, the goddess of the dawn. / / In ancient art Nyx was portrayed as a either a winged goddess or charioteer, sometimes crowned with an aureole of dark mist.

One of my favourite images the light was perfect and the sky a beautiful contrast. This is taken at Airey’s Inlet on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria and called The Split Point Lighthouse. It is also known as White Lady or White Queen.

SELENE was the Titan goddess of the moon. She was depicted as a woman either riding side saddle on a horse or in a chariot drawn by a pair of winged steeds. Her lunar sphere or crescent was represented as either a crown set upon her head or as the fold of a raised, shining cloak. Sometimes she was said to drive a team of oxen and her lunar crescent was likened to the horns of a bull. Selene’s great love was the shepherd prince Endymion. The beautiful boy was granted eternal youth and immortality by Zeus and placed in a state of eternal slumber in a cave near the peak of Lydian Mount Latmos. There his heavenly bride descended to consort with him in the night. A number of other goddesses were also associated with the moon, however, only Selene was represented by the old Greek poets represented as the moon incarnate. source: www.theoi.com full screen preview at eyefetch

ARAKHNE A girl of Kolophon in Lydia (in Anatolia) who in her hubris dared challenge the weaving goddess Athena to a contest of skill. She lost, and as punishment for her sacriligeous boasts and offensive portrayal of the gods in her art was transformed into a spider. / / (Hubris = Arrogance) / / Thanks to THEOI / / The best Greek Mythology Website in the world.

The magical girdle of Aphrodite had the power to inspire the passion of desire. Hera, in her role as the goddess of marriage, occasionally borrowed it from Aphrodite to reunite quarreling spouses in love and to inspire the bridal contests of suitors. source: theoi.com
part of the Orthodox Christian Soldier series ENCYCLOPEDIA LITAE (Litai), a personification of the prayers offered up in repentance. They are described as the daughters of Zeus, and as following closely behind crime, and endeavouring to make amends for what has been done; but whoever disdains to receive them, has himself to atone for the crime that has been committed. (Hom. Il. ix. 502, &c.; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 768; Hesych. s. v. Aigai, calls them Aetae, which however is probably only a mistake in the name.)

Collaboration with Helen Bascom... my delightfully intelligent co-host of the Art Action Union on RedBubble... This is a depiction of my connection with her surrounding the current political climate in the U.S. that although maybe local for some are so important globally for others… It is a huge witchcraft on humanity to see the best outcome of the race… Yes, I said witchcraft… in the name of God though so it’s o.k., s/he told me to do it. Really… Anyway… The images that Helen threw my way to play with were: / the coming storm / father’s love / And I stole her old profile pic. / She lent me a couple of others too, but this was what I came out with… ‘the coming storm’ was mirrored and rotated… the earth was made from a sphere that naturally formed at the centre of the panels… it was magical really… of course there are many layer effects etc added… I added some of my own stock and voila!!! Psychic energy for mind control of the masses man! Below is some of the minor details you may miss on the lo res screen version… full screen preview Thanks Helen for your friendship… and passion… and motivation… and charisma etc. etc. etc. :-) Good luck America… / May god/dess speed victory for Peace and Harmony…
