I painted this Goddess at the Winter Solstice. May she fill you with hope and courage and energy for the New Year. May she help you delve deeply into this darkest of dark times. May she help you find beauty and wisdom within as you navigate stormy seas. Solstice Blessings to ALL and may these words also resonate with my Sisters and Brothers in the South who are celebrating Summer Solstice.

Happy Spring or Fall for those 'down under'. Have you set your intentions yet 'cause Spring is New Year's for nature lovers or, dare I say pagans, like us? The word pagan means 'country dweller'. Some of us just need to be near nature. How about you, what are your thoughts? Comments welcome below.

Goddess of the Light: Brigid Returns

Brigid's Day or Imbolc marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice  and the Spring Equinox.  The Cailleach (kal-yukh), Old Woman of Winter, was transformed into Bride (Brigid), the Fair Woman of February, fragile yet growing stronger each day as the sun rekindled its fire. ~ excerpted in part from Kindling the Celtic Spirit by Mara Freeman.

Brigit, excellent woman, Flame golden, sparkling, May she bear us to the eternal kingdom, She the sun, fiery, radiant! Seventh-Century Hymn to Saint Brigit

Brigid's Day (Mistress of Magic)

Prints, cards and original available at leftys.us

Brigid's Day is February 1, one of the four great festivals that are gateways into the seasons of the turning year. In early Ireland her festival was known as Imbolc, or Oimelc, a name that probably refers to the first milk of the year as ewes birthed their lambs, heralding the return of new life. In later centuries it came to be known as Brigit's Feast Day, but in the Christian calendar the festival was replaced b Candlemas Day on February 2, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and featuring candlelight processions. A powerful female figure of light hovers over both celebrations, and indeed, Brigit was often called Mary of the Gael.  ~ Excerpted from Kindling the Celtic Spirit by Mara Freeman

Don't Give Up Pandora

Is it just me or is this time of year slightly depressing?  To combat the general malaise... ahem (big words for big feelings) I paint, and I paint strong women plus I meditate and call upon Her. I participated in a Spiral Dance led by Starhawk for Winter Solstice last Saturday in LA after attending the Renegade Craft Fair; what a dichotomy!  Perhaps I'm being harsh but the fair felt like Gen Y's in corporate art mode (beautiful and all, but very very digital and the art all looked the same) and then in the Reclaiming Tradition the Solstice event was of course pagan and kinda like attending church for smart hippies; lots of dancing, calling in of the elements and drumming by folks with very interesting names.  I prefer the latter; dancing freely is fun! Plus Starhawk with her permaculture activist background orates spectacularly; all of us were mesmerized as we swayed in tune with her words and her drum.

Today's painting is yet another Goddess-ey being who i named Pandora after listening to Tori Amos' song Pandora's Aquarium. Tori is a Goddess, so if you haven't listened to her yet...do. She rocks magically, big time.
