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

Nimue
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
Dain 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

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

Krom
Krom

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

Arddhu
Arddhu

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

Anna
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!?

The Dance

The beat. Struck. Deep.
Rhythm. Pulsed. Through.
Bodies. Dripped. Danced.

The sweat poured from her skin and she did not notice. It made her movements smoother, easier, removing all friction from between her and the world.

She danced.

Lights flashed every colour imagined since neon, a riot of manic patterns coating the room with jilted visions of seconds snapshotted from the ravers’ lives.

The beat struck deep in her bones.

Her arms moved of their own accord, feet dragged willingly on puppet strings of song. She did not dance, the beat danced her.

She was the dance.

No thoughts. No mind. No feeling but pure bliss.

Only the dance.

Her eyes, half open, watching the floor. The floor, moving beneath her, known only by the touch of her feet.

She was the dance.

Then, into her sight, came another pair of shoes.

Feet faced feet, dancing together.

Matched perfectly, dancing in the dance.

The music raised their faces at the same moment and they met, recognising in each other themselves.

They danced together.

Time began, mirrored in each other’s eyes.

They danced in until the lights came up, the sun rose beyond the walls.

The danced out together, fingers entwined, along the beach where the waves began to pound.

They danced together, no longer alone in their world, alone in the dance.

They danced together and a new world was born between them. A world of wonder.

They danced together.

And the world danced too.

A little while ago I aquired Seena Frost's book Soulcollaging and read it through.

The companion Suit chapter clarified the whole chakra animal thing for me, the point is that the animal helps reflect the state of the chakra and the lessons to learn from it, its how you are in those parts of your life, and needn't be an animal specifically.

As this made sense to me, (Cut for simplicity) ) I made a start.

Today was a good day.

I volunteered at a local Cat sanctuary!

And there were about 20 kittens and I got to play with almost all of them!!!

And cuddle/stroke other cats too!

*snuggles*


Also, today, I have managed to do the Morningstar Candle Chants from Thorn's Feri training (very nice), sew on the main beads for my Feri shield/Mandala (pretty - lots more work still to do, plans for swirling blue-fire beaded pattern), finish and post my first ATC swap cards (which was a surprising wrench, getting used to letting go of artworks is going to have to get easier), and unpack/organise some more boxes.

All in all, a good day.

Oh yeah, and I cleaned the bathroom sink (again), mirror, shelf, and bath. Not bad.
