The lighthouse stands alone. / It leads a solitary existence whose purpose is to shine light into dark places. No two lighthouses will ever stand together….for then neither would show their true light to the world. They require space and distance to do their best work. So they spread their light across the land, and across the ocean, steadfast and courageous, guiding, inspiring, never knowing who might be touched by their radiance, always seemingly alone. Yet imagine – what if they could connect with the energy of another lighthouse in a distant place, and their combined power and light create a previously unknown magic to embrace the Earth with force and compassion. While their feet remain firmly planted on their homeground, it is only the space between them that allows the healing light to travel back and forth across expanse and time so that it can be seen and felt by all. Would the Earth itself feel this web of illumination? There must be darkness for the true beauty of light to be appreciated, there must be space for the true nature of love to shine. / ... / .. / . / (Thanks to Kryon for inspiration) PLEASE view larger for best effects…. :-))

ORIGINAL FOR SALE $400 plus P&H This mandala, in acrylic with metallic overlays, is a combination celtic/native american theme based around “Grace”. After Printz passed away quietly last week, I had a lot of empty time in my head and my home in which to quietly mourn his passing. But there was a lot to celebrate too – to give “grace” for… AMAZING GRACE The legend has it that Little Swan flew through the Dreamtime looking for the entry point to the future in her first flight alone. “As Swan looked high above Sacred Mountain, she saw the biggest swirling black hole she had ever seen. Dragonfly came flying by and Sawan stopped him to ask about the black hole. Dragonfly said, “Swan, that is the doorway to the other planes of imagination. I have been guardian of illusion for many, many moons. If you want to enter there, you would have to ask permission and earn the right.” And when she asked what she had to do to earn entry, Dragonfly replied, “You must be willing to accept whatever the future holds as it is presented, without trying to change Great Spirits plans.”“ (reproduced in part from : Medicine Cards, The Discovery of Power through the Ways of Animals, Jamie Sams and David Carson) The ‘medicine’ of this mandala is about SURRENDERING to the flow and TRUSTING what we are shown… through our healing and our acceptance of the state of grace, we earn the right to enter the Dreamtime. / Full Copyright applies

The Law Of Attraction – Love Mandala I painted a mandala months ago… it has hung in my room ever since, not photographed, unfinished. There was something missing and I didn’t know what. I had painted it with the law of attraction in mind – I was missing love in my life and I wanted to bring it back in and I had thought that this mandala, with all its personal symbology and colour, would assist in allowing that flow of love, in the form of a loving relationship with a man, to come back into my life. The mandala symbology represents the elements of love in relationships that are essential to me – Kookaburras for Laughter and Joy / Kangaroo for Family and Abundance / Sea Eagle for Great Spirit / Cockatoo representing Self Esteem and Friendship (and falling in my sign, Libra) / Wolf as Teacher / Raven for Magick And thus, after painting it, I sat back to wait for LOVE to arrive in my life, LOL! I should’ve known better! When you ask the Universe for something, it will come to you, but if you have not asked clearly and specifically, what you get is something completely unexpected – and thus it was with this request. Love arrived in my life in the form of lessons. The first lesson was to teach me that despite the fact that there are horrible people out there in the real world who will use you up, hurt you, spit you out and discard you without thought for your emotions or feelings, they are NOT YOU. They cannot take away your power or your capacity to love – only you can do that. Only you have the power to love. Only you have the power to change the way you think and feel and believe. Only you. I learned not to shut down my heart ever again, for anyone. It’s my heart and my love and I will let it pour forth into the world with joy and abundance… The second lesson was much harder. I was given an opportunity to learn about myself through the behaviour of another. In the losing of myself in another’s life, I became aware of the pain in my heart that my behaviour was causing. I realised that in order for me to be happy, I had to satisfy my needs first. Not in a selfish way, but in a way that meant that for the first time in my life, I came first. My needs came first. This is a difficult lesson for me and one which will take time absorbing and actualizing. When you subjugate your basic needs to another, you give away your power. By saying you will put up with things that hurt or upset you, you give away your power. By ignoring the unhappiness and stress in your mind, you give away your power. My needs were simple. Like all of us, I just wanted to be happy and to be loved, appreciated and respected. I deserve to be treated with love, respect and appreciation because that is the way I treat others. And in this lesson, I realised that I was not being treated this way. I then had to choose to stay with that lesson, or learn it and move on. I chose to move on. I chose to reclaim my power. The third lesson was that all the money in the world CANNOT buy happiness – it comes from within… I realised that I am the only person who can make me happy. I am responsible for my own happiness, my own respect, my own appreciation. I became aware that I am the only person in my life I truly have to please and that if I meet my needs – If I learn to LOVE and APPRECIATE and RESPECT MYSELF then all else will follow. And thus I took the mandala off the wall and in the inner circles I wrote all the things that were necessary for me to have wonderful relationships. All the things that were essential in my life for me to be happy. All the morals and ethics that were important to me on my very first level of need. Friendship, Joy, Happiness, Respect, Self Respect, Monogamy, Abundance, Faith, Trust, Belief, Support, Love, Sharing, Caring, Compassion, Family, Communication, Magic, Trust, Partnership, Fidelity, Commitment and many more… And the mandala was complete. / It was for me all along. / It was the Law Of Attraction – In order for me to be loved, I first have to love myself.
