Another inspirational walk …... / After being on top of the world, I delved down into this conifer forest to walk on fallen pine needles, ‘twas like walking on a very soft and springy carpet …... any noise was absorbed by it, making it a silent and very peaceful place …....... :)) Copyright 2009 Richie Dean Machynlleth, Snowdonia National Park, Wales, UK Photoshop and PhotoArtMaster 3 images blended together using / Layer masks / Blending modes / Adjustment layers / Filters and tools This work has been featured in / Forests / Impressionist Art / Your Magic Place

Lady of the Wildwood portrays the second, mother aspect of the Great mother (virgin, mother, crone) and is based on ancient Celtic myth and spirituality. When creating her I incorporated an alchemical formula for gold (wholeness and balance), a form of blessing on anyone who studies the image and the places where she hangs. Most of the elements represent images of alchemical symbols used during the early Dark Ages. Her consort is the Stag King, another painitng on my Red Bubble page. Here’s a portion of the material I’ve written about her: “I am the feminine spirit of the wildwood; past, present, and future. I sprout the fertile acorn, guard the pregnant doe heavy with fawn, and personify life energy emanating from the primordial forest itself. Withing my womb you see the Royal Child, my future dancing baby. We represent a visual doorway opening into the circle: embrace the poetry of my closed system in which all is connected, the great web of creation is my being. Nothing is simply a thing; all has life and properties of its own. Beware; don’t make the mistake of assuming this doesn’t exist. Think of the pentagram and its five points: the elements of earth, water, fire, air and the fifth essence, ether (the quint – essence); life quality made by a sentient, universal creative force. Pale and luminous against deep forest shadows, I am light itself, ruling the kingdoms of nature. My heart glows with life, rosy with health. Within the shadows are my creatures, my beloved hares and deer, birds and salamanders, all composed of graceful, vine – like patterns. This represents their wild environment and interconnectedness. You can understand me on many levels, all true, for I represent Queen of Fairy, the feminine energy of the wild and untamed wood. The Lord of the Wildwood, masculine energy perfected and personified, is my consort. I am the goddess in her guise as Earth Mother and protect the feral and freeborn. I am metaphor and allegory for certain truths, yet just as easily convey a personal meaning only you understand”. Text and image copyright Helena Nelson-Reed.

Pencil and dry brush watercolor on Bristol board. / The original story is barely more than a mention in another, more important tale. All we know its that the affair was brief and couple soon parted. So it is with deities and fairie folk every where, or there’d be no stories about their adventures and entanglements. The few lines caught my attention because of the properties each deity personifies. Druantia, the Fir Tree goddess and mother of the Ogham, is independent, strong willed, free spirited, nurturing and passionate. Aengus Og shares these characteristics, and is a reputed King of Fairie (as well as deity) – but also a gentle and considerate lover. On the simplest level this is a nice little story for a painting. On the second level it demonstrates masculine and feminine energies personified and united in harmony. On the third level its about Soul reuniting with the Beloved, the Source. Their mythic roles, at the end of this paragraph, will illustrate why and how. The following verse describes their first meeting, in Druantia’s words. “Deep within my forest I see him, standing beneath the tall silent firs, and I sing out! Hearing my voice, Aengus Og, maker of sweet music, protector of lovers, is curious, and drawing near, replies by plucking an irresistible invitation upon his golden harp. Thus we strangers approach one another, weaving a spell both wild and sweet; the perfect binding of wisdom and beauty, form and substance. Overcoming strangeness we become familiar, knowing one another amidst slippery, cool needles and wild herbs. We each savor the other’s fragrance, mingled with that of spicy pine, damp earth, and a myriad of plants and blossoms. We whisper, I in the green, rustling tongue of trees, Aengus with tender messages delivered by tiny magical birds, formed by his sweet kisses and warm, moist breath. The perfect union; the guardian and healer of souls and the mistress of transmigrating souls, those spirits spiraling downward from human body into plant, animal, and stone form. DRUANTIA (Celtic, British) Queen of the Druids, mother of the tree calendar, fir tree goddess. Fertility, passion sexual activities, trees, protection, knowledge, creativity. Also she’s the goddess responsible for the transmigration of souls through lower animal forms, plants and inanimate objects. She is also connected with the oak (research Irish, Scotch, Welsh, Breton, Gaulish root words for Druantia and druid) ANGHUS OG (Celtic, British… several versions of this name) God of youth, physical perfection, beauty, creativity, protector of lovers, god of fatal love, guardian and healer of souls, associated with musicians and songbirds. An accomplished musician, he owns a beautiful golden harp upon which he plays irresistibly sweet music, his kisses turn into birds carrying messages. Has a fairy palace on the Boyne and is of the Tuatha De Dunaan. Text and Image copyright 2006 Helena Nelson Reed. Please do not use without written permission.

The life story of a Welsh Poppy! / Background and textures include (1) raindrops on window pane, (2) car sun/roof light window and (3) swiss roll baking tray. / I am not very good with verse/poems so please be kind! Dreaming dreams / Winds blow… / We bend shimmering with grace. / Buzzing bees / Shimmy through stamens… / brushing anthers showering pollen. / Yellow / Petals fall silently softly gently / littering the ground… / New beauty emerges / A summer crown… / Soon black seeds fall like rain / We dream the future. Some of the poppies before I cut them out – this time I only used the magicwand and eraser.

I have recently enjoyed a fantastic week in North Wales, visiting relatives and friends, some of whom I hadn’t seen since 1968. My father was Welsh and I have been sort of getting back to my roots. This is the Welsh Dragon, copied from their flag. FEATURED IN THE FINKS OF INK GROUP – 12th November 2008 FEATURED IN THE DRAGON’S FIRE GROUP – 15th June 2009

Taken in Snowdonia, Wales. Llyn Llydaw (from the Welsh meaning Brittany lake) is a lake in Snowdonia National Park on the flanks of Snowdon, Wales’ highest mountain. This long thin lake has formed in a cwm about one-third of the way up the mountain. Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa), is the highest mountain in Wales and the third most prominent peak in the British Isles. It is Great Britain’s highest mountain south of the Scottish Highlands, and has been described as “probably the busiest mountain in Britain.” It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Welsh: Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri), in Gwynedd. The summit is known as Yr Wyddfa, Welsh for “the tumulus” and lies at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level.

Watch the video ….. / All Through The Night A Welsh Lullaby Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee / All through the night / Guardian angels God will send thee / All through the night / Soft the drowsy hours are creeping / Hill and dale in slumber sleeping / I my loving vigil keeping / All through the night While the moon her watch is keeping / All through the night / While the weary world is sleeping / All through the night / O’er thy spirit gently stealing / Visions of delight revealing / Breathes a pure and holy feeling / All through the night Though I roam a minstrel lonely / All through the night / My true harp shall praise sing only / All through the night / Love’s young dream, alas, is over / Yet my strains of love shall hover / Near the presence of my lover / All through the night Hark, a solemn bell is ringing / Clear through the night / Thou, my love, art heavenward winging / Home through the night / Earthly dust from off thee shaken / Soul immortal shalt thou awaken / With thy last dim journey taken / Home through the night

Our dog is mad for bubbles! When most people think of bubbles they think of children but for us it’s dogs as well! I am also partial to the odd bubble, they are very calming to watch and the colours are amazing. We have been playing with bubbles for a few days now, the first day was windy so all the neighbours got bubbles in their yards too, it was really lovely as people came out of their houses to watch and you could hear their exclamations as they watched
