I have always loved ruined and bare country chapels where the outside elements seem to be brought in through the windows and shafts of light. To me, the deep greenwood and forests are nature’s chapels,which can bring you closer to the divine than any grand,gold guilded cathedreal. For me there is no seperation between the divine and the natural world around us…..and I have found peace and harmony many times amongst the sacred Celtic springs and ancient trees in forgotten corners of this country. This image was particularly inspired by the small holy wells of South West Cornwall, where even to this day poeple leave offerings and gifts to the water elements and the old Gods.

Inspired like a lot of my work, by the book The Secret Garden. I am facinated by / the notion of secret doors which may lead to magical experiences or new adventures.

The Maiden, The Mother and The Crone From the original acrylic on 100cm x 100cm canvas. Metallic and glitter overlays… I started this mandala the week before one of my close girl friends was diagnosed with lung cancer and finished four months later – the week after she died. It was a hugely cathartic work and the three phases of the goddess reflect the changes in me over the years. I have been the warrior maiden; mothered my child and have entered into the spiritual crone phase of my life… This is a work in progress. Every year I add something to the picture as it reflects my journey through this life. Bright Blessings to all:) all rights reserved mt2008 !!

**Wildlife-Appeal**Proceeds Donated to Aid the Wildlife Affected By the Bush Fires
by Helena Nelson-ReedUS$4.16–US$95.00
Colored Pencil, original available / GODDESS OF SMALL THINGS Who cares for all beings, including the plain, non – descript, or annoying creatures everyone else ignores, drives away, or attempts to destroy? I think there needs to be a special goddess dedicated to this purpose alone. She will be the goddess who inspires us to notice the quiet child in a classroom, to acknowledge and respect the shy or awkward person nobody else bothers with. Those who honor this goddess will be recognized by random acts of kindness and senseless gestures of mercy. Devotees will capture and release the ladybugs that accidentally fly indoors during late autumn – or let them sleep in peace right through ‘till spring, snuggled in a corner of the window sill. They’ll be the persons who don’t recoil, but instead admire the plain brown snakes undulating gracefully across trails on warm spring and autumn days. A universal, daily prayer of this Goddess cult will be the ritual of feeding the nameless, drab birds as well as their more glamourous cousins. This Goddess of Small Things will be a guardian of all life, not just the colorful, dramatic forms.; she won’t pick and choose. We are surrounded by creatures deserving our tolerance, if not protection. The field mice and voles falling into basement window wells, nameless brown birds pecking for seed in the ice, non- descript beetles, mangy stray dogs and flea bitten feral cats. Who watches over the almost invisible little creatures sharing our world as they go about the daily business of crossing busy streets, avoiding predators, traps, and poison? The Goddess of Small Things is another name for the gentle heart that respects and protects all the little creatures deemed commonplace, disposable, or undesirable. The smallest face and tiniest beating heart holds a sacred place in the hoop of life, and is entitled to compassion and respect. Text copyright Helena Nelson – Reed.

“DARE TO BE DIFFERENT” makes the perfect gift for the independent individual in your life. Could that be you? The image features a photograph of a real White Raven (also known as a “Spirit Raven” by local Haida people) born in May, 2008 on Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada. He is one of two rare white and 3 black Ravens born to 2 accepting (black) parents. The two rare birds are not albino which is what makes them so unusual. Their eyes are quite blue. All 5 siblings are getting along extremely well and all are thriving. White Ravens are very rare and hold sacred meaning for many groups and cultures throughout the World, including Native American Indian, Celtic, Norse and Wiccans. This artwork is another tribute to these remarkably intelligent and friendly birds. 50% proceeds from all sales go to the Mountainaire Avian Society in the beautiful Comox Valley on Vancouver Island.

Infra red image of an ancient Oak tree hidden in the valley of the White Leaved Oak, Malvern Hills, England. The tree is thought to be about 1,500 years old and grew from an acorn of a true albino oak which is said to have grown in the area many hundreds of years ago. The Oak is located on the site of ancient earth works and is comonly thought of as being once an ancient place of worship for the Celts and Druids. It is still visited today by local Pagans and Witches and often decorated with offerings of ribbons and crystals.

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.
