This
painting and poem are very much connected to another one titled ‘Revolution’,here…
I began ‘She Who Knows’ shortly before going to
Paris, then she came to a stop, indicating I was to gain much insight and
growth from the trip and I would be ready then to integrate Her within me.
I begin nearly all my paintings with an
intention; whether in the form of a prayer, a question, a healing, or insight
and then I let the process and painting speak to me: showing me what She wants,
and whispering Her messages.
For
‘She Who Knows’ my intention was to gain clarity around my bigger purpose and
how I was to bring it to the world.
Indeed when I returned from Paris, after having
painted ‘Revolution’ I was brought back to what became this beautiful and
powerful inner Goddess/Priestess. She changed dramatically, in terms of adding
many layers of colour, growing darker, deeper, and richer – much like we do as
we walk a conscious journey and enter the ‘wisdom years’.
I
find Her breathtaking and by far my favourite piece. I listened to Goddess
music during the many, many hours of painting, which helped me to go deeper and
her messages came. I was in awe and dizzy for days when she was completed –
every time gazing upon her my third eye pulsing to Hers.
She instilled in me a deeper understanding of
what it means to be a Goddess/Priestess – honouring and living attuned to the
cycles and rhythms of life and nature: working with them rather than against
them, allowing them to teach and guide me. I am a different woman having
painted Her!
She Who Knows
Om Shanti Om
We all come from the
Goddess
And to Her we shall
return
Om Shanti Om
I am She
The flame within
Om Shanti Om
She Who Knows
Whispering softly… give
birth to your soul dreams
Om Shanti Om
Call upon your sacred
ancestors
Your mother’s, your
father’s
This lifetime and
beyond
Om Shanti Om
To stand by you, to
guide to
To enliven your life
force and blood
With their strength and
wisdom
Om Shanti Om
Work with the seasons
The cycles, the
rhythms, the elements
Om Shanti Om
Reclaim yourself, your
true self,
That which is me
Om Shanti Om
Attune, attune, attune
Live, breathe, and be
She Who Knows
Om
Shanti Om
