Knight of Humility

A knight…A protector… A servant who fights darkness in order to uphold all that is good in this world. One who faces many challenges and battles through them, growing in strength and character each time.  

Tests! Life's challenges! Why do we have them? They make the heart ache, they push us to breaking point…We may even feel like we are breaking. Our heart suffers because we love so much.

“But inasmuch as the divine Purpose hath decreed that the true should be known from the false, and the sun from the shadow, He hath, therefore, in every season sent down upon mankind the showers of tests from His realm of glory.”  - Baha’u’llah

The knight reminds me of these challenges, but with his armour, he can face anything and not be harmed. His heart remains protected. He remains firm and he withstands the severity of the storm.

So what is this armour the Knight wears, what is this golden sheild crowning his helmet, the red feathers and between, a blue sapphire stone? This Knight stands so well protected. He stands in Righteousnous and in honour to Truth and Justice. The red symbolises sacrifice; giving his life in service. The blue Sapphire; a diadem of eternal glory given to him in acknowledgement of his advancement and his armour is his wisdom and unfailing trust in God. 

We choose our life path by how we walk in this life, and by the choices we make. Protecting ourselves is vital as there is always both darkness and light around us. 

This knight clings to that which God hath bidden him to observe. He seeks His grace, and therefore treadeth His straight Path. This is his growing strength. This straight Path adorns him with the virtues he needs, such as truthfulness, humility, perseverance, grace, fortitude, forgiveness, love and so much more. This knight assists the world of humanity to free themselves from the darkness of ignorance and stand in the true glory of who we truely are.

A New Dawn

Image
Tonight, lying in bed after an exceptionally and strangely difficult evening of parenting with my three boys and my husband, I lay beside the boys after our prayers and as they went to sleep, I started seeing a vision in my mind. I saw many sketches of wolves with yellow eyes, snarling and aimed in one direction (east). Then I saw over characterised european faces, one after the other - quite grotesque looking. Then I saw side profiles of brown bears facing west, standing and stacked like packed dominos with their top arms reaching forward, then they started to fall backwards together, all as one, and their spirits started rising into the heavens. The spirit which was translucent black in colour, made a beautiful almost geometric but lose mandala formation in the sky, then the ribbons of spirit came down and touched the earth. Then a large beautifully intricate white spider web was formed all over the sky and in the centre I saw a black spider and the web and spider began shaking a lit...

A Time to Awaken

Image
This painting is about awakening to our higher conciousness, our spiritual reality. This piece began by reading a name someone had written in my enquiry book. I had a stall at a local expo called ‘Nourish Your Soul’ and while I had temporarily left my stall, I had a book for people to use if I wasn’t there. When I picked up the book and saw the name, I suddenly heard the name Shiva and saw a vague vision of a male figure facing me with a circle of circles surrounding him. I was very curious, so even though this person had not asked for a painting, not knowing that much about Shiva, I decided to go ahead with the painting. I had a large canvas at home that I had picked up from the local hospice shop, and it had been painted in acrylic with the word NAMASTE and a lotus flower. This would be perfect to use. So I prepared the painting by going over it with a few coats of white, then I did a couple of coats of gold paint in a brushed effect that reminded me of wood grain.   I rou...

Hathor - Mother Goddess

Image
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...
