And again I face my Persephone Painting (the big one) and decide to create a smaller version before going any further (a linoblock print is next). And again I pull a Norse Rune to help me connect with Persephone, Goddess of the Underworld.
Channeling Persephone ~ A Ghostly Tale
Persephone: "Meet me in the Circle" (there are ghosts everywhere), but we go deeper and deeper into the center, which is blood-red.
Persephone hands me a sphere also colored blood-red. "Drink, drink," she says and so I do and the sphere empties of colour and glows clear. "Now, you are one of us. You can see/hear/feel everything down here."
She puts a paintbrush in my hand and I'm back in the cave, as before, waiting to be guided to what I need to do. Persephone helps me stay focused on my purpose and not get distracted.
Me: (I realize this is how I like to work). A sunflower lights my way and I hold it with one hand and ask the dark spirits what to draw.
Dark Spirits: Go on.
Persephone: Your way is lit, your eyes shine through mine. March on, march on, march on.
Me: I see endless trails of white leading to souls; unhappy, trapped.
Persephone: Be with them, reassure them, show them the light - the source. Hold up your sphere. The sunflowers light your way.
And then, like a vacuum cleaner, or a moth to a flame, the soul's eyes open and they are sucked up and into the light by force of their will and their desire to be One with Source.
Me: What am I?
Persephone: You are the witness.
