You are goddess, witch, moon mama (Peacock Ore Meditation)

I am the peacock of your soul.

Sharp and sensual,

I inspire you to hold your head high

and remember who you are.

Repeat after me:

I am goddess

I am witch

I am moon mama

Carry this knowing in your heart.

Be proud my sister.

We are Divine, you and I.

Peacock Ore opens the third eye and stimulates psychic vision and inner knowing. This helps us learn to trust our psychic abilities and manifest them through visualization.

Excerpted from Gemstones A to Z by Diane Stein

Today's painting was inspired by the Moon in Aries and the gemstone Peacock Ore.

Vision Questing as Raven Persephone

Channeling Persephone: A Vision Quest "Help me Persephone. I am exhausted with the business of selling."

And so Persephone becomes a Raven and we race through the Underworld, me on her back, until we come to an old woman wearing rags and feathers by the name of Gemma. She has very long fingers and a cloak which she wraps around me. I am listening, though I am weary and can barely stand. She taps me three times with a silver coin and I become one with the Divine and nothing else matters.

I am the Triple Goddess and I see a link with my art. "See something you like, make me an offer," but my rational mind says, "You have tried this and it didn't work," so I hop back on Raven Persephone and back we go through the Underworld; ancestors on all sides, and I'd like to stop and chat and I think, "these visions are stories that I could illustrate, but...I don't like to illustrate." And again my hopes are dashed.

On we go, faster and faster until all is a blur. I hold on tight. Then suddenly She is gone and I am floating, weightless, not really moving. And I feel nothing and my mind is blank. I hear my phone ring but I ignore it; it's the world calling again, but no one is home although I am getting hungry.

I can feel my hair growing and growing, down, down, down to the Earth and I have no fear. Nothing can reach me up here (or down there?) And I call out for Persephone yet again. But I am Persephone and Demeter is not here and I weep for my Mother who is so far away and she weeps for me. We are alone, each in our own worlds, but there is no time for weeping. There is work to do.
