This is the spring counterpart to my other Barred owl called Winter’s watchman Taken in the same general area in April 2005. You can tell he was just in the swampy water below, either bathing or chasing after a snake to eat, by the wetness present on his feathers.

Old, bearded man looks directly into the viewers soul.
The model in this pic is very emotionally sensitive. I come across many in my photo shoots who have this sensitivity. However most have been conditioned to rely on their looks as their sole gift. Therefor many do not think of themselves as overly intelligent. I believe that sensitive people have access to incredible wisdom if they open their minds to their hearts. Further I see wisdom as true intelligence as it is intuited rather than learnt. This particular shot to me portrays the depth of feeling and wisom that this women has access to. I am really passionate about running workshops pertaining to images such as these. I have set up a group to promote and feature these workshops. / Empowered Beauty / Also please visit my personal website www.leapoffaith.com.au
Their first meeting sparked a profound sense of deja vu….their hearts bonded instantly, yet they parted unto their own lives. As she sat alone, staring into the darkness of midnight, questioning the vision in her soul, two bright stars streaked across the sky and came together as one. In that one perfect moment, her uncertainty vanished, and her path was crystal clear…. Do you believe in Love at first sight?
This painting represents the transformation of the goddess Boann into the River Boyne. Boann’s husband was Nechtan, who was keeper of the sacred well Segais (the Well of Wisdom). Around the well grew nine magical hazel trees, from which grew magical crimson hazelnuts. The nuts fell into the well feeding the five colorful salmon that lived inside the well. Each salmon represented wisdom obtained through the five senses and had distinctive crimson spots on their bellies from eating the hazelnuts. All, but Nectan and his assistants, were forbidden to approach the well. This restriction irked Boann, and she decided one day to approach the well. To spite her husband, whom she believed greedily coveted the well, Boann approached the well counter clockwise. But what she didn’t know is that the well itself had specific conditions in which one could gaze into it. One must approach clockwise three times before looking straight and steadily into the well or one’s eyes would burst from the power of the wisdom contained within. Boann peered cautiously into the well, which caused the water to rise angrily and it took one of her eyes. Because she approached the well counter clockwise, she had further angered the waters and so the well erupted with a torrent. Boann fled from the rushing waters losing an arm and a leg before the angry waters reached the sea, leaving behind a 70 mile long river, now called the Boyne River. Having lost one eye, one arm, and one leg, Boann was transformed. She existed from that point on somewhere half in and half out of the physical world. She became the soul of the river, but also something much more powerful. For when she released the waters of Segais, she freed the salmon of knowledge into the world. Now humans had access to the wisdom reserved only for the gods. Anyone who ate the flesh of the salmon, instantly possessed the knowledge they contained. Boann then became the patron goddess of poetic and spiritual inspiration. Her influence bridges the gap in the wisdom of mind to allow the feminine nature in each of us to stream into our being. Her sacrifice represents the transformation of the self that is required for wisdom to enter. Her essence is present in all rivers. To call upon her, one must simply invoke her name while sitting next to a river and listen with a clear mind and an open soul. Her gift of wisdom will transform you.

Woman holding light energy. Photo based illustration.
Image is a caduceus drawn in paint, enhanced in photoshop with redfield plug-in fractilius. A rod entwined by two serpents and capped with the wings of Mercury. This symbol dates back over 4,000 years, usually associated with divinities in Phoenicia and Babylonia. In Egypt and India where it became the Hindu image of the kundalini. In alchemy it stood for the integration of opoosites (mercury and sulphur). The association with medicine comes from the link between the snake and rejuvenation: a staff with a single snake is the attribute of Aesculapius, god of healing. Jung saw the caduceus as the emblem of homeopathic medicine – the snake that both poisons and cures. This piece accompanies a previous upload called Age of Aquarius as February 14, 2009, an alignment will take place at 7:25am (GMT) for 18 minutes – I invite you, in the Universal Heart, to add your own intentions for love, peace and healing and to co-create the dawning of the age of Aquarius. “The most profound spiritual traditions of ancient times perceived the manifest world, at all scales of existence as being generated and pervaded by a cosmic trinity of active, passive and neutral principles – the divine essence of the masculine, feminine and child. The Vedic sages of ancient India saw the male. active life-force energy they called the pingala and the female/passive energy they called ida weaving around and through our chakras and the child/neutral energy they called the shushumna as channeling up through them. / When these divine masculine and feminine energies are balanced and so able to fully ‘birth’ the divine child energies within us, the ancient sages saw the so-called kundalini energy that otherwise lies dormant at the base of the spine, surge through us enabling us to fully embody our divine nature. / The purpose of the sacred marriage between the divine feminine and masculine that the ancient peoples, such as those of Malta, enacted in their temples was thus not only to bring cosmic harmony and fertility to their land but within themselves. For such balance enables the energetic activation of ‘birth’ of the divine child within us and the attainment of enlightenment. / When this cosmic trinity of consciousness is harmonized and fully expressed within us, we are truly “healed” and “whole” as embodied by the universal symbol of the caduceus, as a representation of healing from earliest times. / For millennia, only the highest adepts understood and have attained such wholeness. But elders and mystics around the world are saying that now is the time, when we have evolved to a point where we are all able to awaken our inner divinity. / This is our spiritual destiny at the dawning of the age of Aquarius.” Jude Currivan, Ph.D. from greatmystery.org We are the World
