Feri Lemniscate and Masculine/Feminine Musings...

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.

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!?

A Nice Day

I've just had a lovely Sunday.

I decided not to go to Art Soc, and this was fine.

I spent the afternoon at a new friend's house, with others, as she talked to us about her faith, Bahai.

My sweetheart drove me up there, and I forgot the directions so I had to direct us through vaguely remembered instructions... Oops.

It was beautiful though, the rolling Welsh countridie is gorgeous in a very soft way :)

We got there eventually and Avril greeted me form her doorway. I was just in time.

it started with music and words to meditate to, and then silence.

Next she explained a little about Bahai, and then we asked questions about it.

Eventually it, unsurprisingly, evolved into a gernal discussion about things, which was really nice. And there was cake and tea. Mmmm.

I got a lift home with someone I know from class, and he pointed out Venus as the sun set.

Now I'm pootling online while my lovely sits reading... and I'm listening to 'Spanish Earworms' ~ learning Spanish for my trip!

Pleasant.

Oh, and in a bit I fully intend to start work on my next essay. I still haven't cut down the previous one!!!
