Drawing Down the Moon

Drawing Down the Moon

Drawing down the Moon is an ancient ritual performed by a Priestess invoking the Goddess (symbolised by the Moon) to enter her body and speak through her. It is a wish for a divine influence to inspire her work.

Here the Priestess is holding the moon (as both sickle and full) in a loving embrace. Together they are three. Around her is water, darkness and reflection. The glass globe by her side represents the transparent globe of prophesy and the empty receptive mind of meditation. Behind her  comes a flow of inspiration in the form of symbols from above, below and beyond. Her eyes are closed, as she is lost in another world.
