Feri Lemniscate and Masculine/Feminine Musings...

[haloquin]

Devotional pastel Paintings of the Feri Lemniscate.
(Process and reasons at the end.)

Nimue

Nimue reaches into the world, coming into being. Pure existence beginning, growing from the seed in the dark into the light.

Dian Y Glas


Dian Y Glas Expands into the world, reaching out and experiencing every moment, looking in all directions and shining with the light he takes in.

Mari


Mari rolls in waves within the space. Like the ocean, all encompassing, cradling and containing and spilling over, like the galaxy.

Krom


Krom LIVES! With focus and abandon he cuts into existence, carving through life.

Arddhu


Arddu unfolds with every moment, every moment precious, complete prescence in the world with every step.

Anna


Anna is. Floating in the dark, the light, Being.

Totality
The 'Female' Gods exist, the 'Male' Gods act. Being and action. The young Gods begin, the old are in the moment, the Gods in their Prime are most fully alive, the perfect expression of action and being.

Instinctively painted, then edited digitally in GIMP.
After all six were painted I mused on what they meant, and especially what the division between 'male' and 'female' was. The lemniscate seem to be designated as 2 polarities, most often described as male/female, with Mari being the most female of the 'ladies', and Krom being the most male of the 'men'. And this didn't feel like it could be the whole story. What does this division signify? It must go further than 'masculine' and 'feminine', and what do these mean anyway!?
