February Full Moon Altar: Galentine Goddesses

Image

For women friends, February 14th is Galentines Day! And these goddesses are busy celebrating it for this month's full moon altar. At the centre is a terra cotta circle-of-friends-style statue of four Divine Feminine friends -- Greco-Roman goddess Artemis / Diana, Sumerian goddess Inanna, Hindu goddess Kali, and Egyptian goddess Isis. They have all previously been separately celebrated on my blog with full moon altars of their own (click the links if you want to see those posts), except for Isis. Her full moon altar is coming soon though, I promise! This terra cotta statue was purchased many years ago from Sacred Source.

Image

On the left is a generic goddess figure in a neolithic style. Her big hips and vulva adornments emphasize her centrality to the creation of life. She was sculpted from clay and given to me a long time ago by my former Circle Sister who passed away last summer (and who I wrote about here).

Image

On the right is another generic goddess figure in a modern style. Her arms evoke the full moon and the circle of life, her body is covered with vines and plant life evoking Mother Nature, and her womb is adorned with the Sacred Spiral of Life. I obtained this statue years ago in an Edmonton spirituality store.

I just recently bought the cute female-faced candle holders. Aren't they adorable?

Happy Valentines Day later this month to all you lovers out there! Happy Galentines Day to all my women readers! And Happy Palentines Day to all my men readers!

Friday Face OFF -- Portrait Challenge: The Winter Soldier

For today's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of

Nicole's challenge for us this week is
to do a portrait of our own choosing and 
accompany it with the photo on which it is based.

So here's my portrait of
Bucky Barnes the Winter Soldier,
drawn freehand directly in white ink pen
on black Stonehenge paper.

I am very pleased (and relieved)
that this turned out so well.

Image

It's based on this promotional poster by Marvel Studios
for its recent superhero movie Thunderbolts* --

Image

Incidentally, if you haven't seen Thunderbolts* yet,
it's a good movie! The point of its superhero plot
is to explore mental health issues and the
emotional fallout of trauma, guilt, shame and loss.

Let's Celebrate Australia Day!

Image

If someone cuts down a tree for their view in Australia, government installs a sign to block the view --
Image

[That's actually a damn good idea --
defeating the benefit of illegal acts
removes the incentive to do them.]

And now, as a public service, here is
an instructional video on
"How To Eat An Australian Meat Pie" --


Love you Aussies!
Seriously!
Enjoy your National Day!

Friday Face OFF -- Friendly Neighbourhood Camel

For today's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of

Here's that camel drawing
I was working on a couple of weeks ago,
as some of you spotted in a previous post's photo --

Image

A face only a mother could love!

Image

[Freehand drawing on brown kraft paper
done directly in black ink pen, white ink pen,
and black ink wash with brush]

I drew it from this internet meme --

Image

If I were doing it again, I don't think I would use
all that white ink on the camel's muzzle.
I got carried away and overdid it.

But at least it got me back in the swing of drawing again!

Greenland and NATO Win!

Since Arctic Hares have joined the fight
(rallied by blogging buddy Tundra Bunny, no doubt),
it appears to have turned the tide!


Yesterday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland,
Trump made an abrupt about-face, dropping his threats to
invade and take Greenland by force, or to levy more
punishing tariffs on European allies who opposed a sale.

Trump and the Secretary-General of NATO have apparently
now agreed to a “framework of a future deal” on Arctic security.

Regarding Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's
well-received speech on Tuesday,  however,
Trump did complain about how
ungrateful Canada is, LOL!
