ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

Posted on Instagram on December 23, 2018

The Solstice and Full Moon have been really intense...especially, for me, the Moon - or maybe it was a build up of combined energies. The sleepless night I spent weaving these rings in my mind, putting things together, messages, thoughts, signs.
.
They are about sisterhood - in the widest sense I can imagine - as wide as the universe.
.
Something that was brought to my eyes recently is how my relationship with women has changed.
I grew up in an environment that gave us for granted. That taught me we are weaker. That we need a man to survive - be it a husband or a father - because they are smarter and more practical. That women aren't particularly bright. And that we are quite silly and that you can't trust us because women will always backstab you.
.
So much of that seeped in me without my realization.
And the journey to hold a scrape of self esteem in my hands has been a long long one - no surprise with such premises.
The journey to accept my cycle and how the Moon and the emotions influence me? Longer.
Actually, I am still walking both.
But I am not where I was, and this is something.
.
And I found myself thinking about the Women that have crossed my path in the past few years.
How they came in perfect timing, when I was ready for their particular energy. How they helped to shape me up.
Some came as inspirations - in art and life. Some came as healers and examples. Some as friends.
All of them showed me a way of "being female" that I could love. That made me feel accepted and that I could accept. A coming home.
A common way of feeling and sensing and being. A special sensitivity. A hard, marvelous journey to reach the point of owning all those special tracts and walking with pride.
.
It felt right to make two of these rings. Because one would be lonely.
.
They talk of a fat moon, of many snake sisters entwined. Of roots and hair, of links of connection.
They are about this web of life and death that connects all of us, even if we are spread out on the entire globe. Even if we are separated by the Veil between life and death.
