Sacred Union

I believe one of the most sacred bonds in this world is the one between parents and their children. It is sacred because the bond that flows between them is the closest experience many will have to unconditional love and it is truely a gift to experience. Sadly the conditions people pick up or have imposed upon them in this world have made it difficult for many to experience this type of love. But this is our true birth right, to be loved and to continue to be loved, unconditionally, no matter what mistakes we may make or experiences we choose. A parents love is unconditional as even when they totally disagree with the way their child chooses to live, or vice versa, they can never stop loving them. Love can bring the greatest pain. And that pain means unconditional love; a sacred bond that was formed in our creation, that can never be severed, no matter how difficult this world can become. 

When I painted this picture, it was for my first official commission of an intuitive painting. Albeit, the person I was painting it for was a friend and I'm sure was gifting me this opportunity out of love, but I accepted her request and was very grateful. To my surprise, when I began the painting on the background I had already prepared, it literally only took eight minutes to finish. There was much simplicity to the painting, but having kept it a little while before giving it to her, I enjoyed the feeling of the painting and it spoke to me of unconditional love from parents to their child. 



As you can see the parents are on each side and the child is protected in the middle. 

 The mothers role in carrying a child and birthing is so special. There is a quote I was inspired to write some time ago, that talks to the sacredness of this union, and warns against anyone in this world that might taint it. 

“This is a sacred line.
No one should touch this line
unless given the honour.
From this line life springs forth.
Anything that contaminates this 
line contaminates this life.
Therefore it is sacred and should
not be touched unless given the 
honour. It is simple.”

Hathor - Mother Goddess

Hathor: Goddess of the sky, dance, love, beauty, joy, motherhood, foreign lands, music and fertility... I asked myself before beginning this painting, “What if I don’t know who I’m painting?”…Well this was one of those paintings…I thought I was painting Cleopatra because of the Egyptian features, but when I researched about her, it didn’t match up. Then I found out about Hathor - an ancient Egyptian Goddess, and it was speaking exactly what the painting had showed me. So I asked the energy, and yes! Wow - Thank you. I didn’t know there was a Goddess that represented all these amazing things. I knew from the outset that this painting was powerfully femimine, as the colour was a vibrant fuchsia and was painted in smooth circles going to the left of the centre. Then the Egyptian features, the way the hair has two strong egyptian like hair pieces on either side, the eye markings, the necklace resembling an eagle with two wings going up around her neck, one wing male and the ot

Before Birth

Image
This painting speaks to a topic that is often avoided, it speaks to the many people that have traveled this heart wrenching journey and are often very alone in this pain, a pain that is deep and tears at the very fabric of life, the pain of abortion. It is a pain that is least expected, a pain that no one wants to experience, but circumstances led to this fatal moment, the most difficult decision imaginable, to stop someones life before birth.  Although one of the saddest of situations, this unborn baby has come from the union of two souls, who in this physical life are experiencing a very difficult path, their lives being tested with hurt and pain, the bruises, the scars, the fear, the anger, the violence, the drug addiction, the mental torment amongst the better times during this strange and desperate relationship.  As the woman continued to try and break away from this co-dependant life that was slowly destroying her, a baby came… So the journey takes a turn, this union

Destiny

I saw a clear image of a horse and in recognising its colour and features I did some research and found the Palomino horse which is known for its golden chestnut coat and sometimes white patches. The image showed the horse as though you were standing in front of it, communicating and connecting.  The horse is a beautiful spirit animal representing freedom, bliss, optimism, drive, passion, direction, goals and result. It asks you to ride it in spirit knowing it will take you quickly to your destination.  This piece also includes the Mayan calendar, speaking of ancient wisdoms and oneness with creation. The calendar represents both the past and the present, and our place, our role within the marking of time. What is our mark? What will we leave behind once we have moved on? We are part of the ever continuous spiral of life. Part of a greater unfolding destiny, a greater plan.
