The Vodoun Spirit

The Vodoun Spirit Vodoun Spirit, while on a visit to Haiti in the late 1980’s, I happened to be in a market selling locally carved wooden images of Vodoun deities and animals.  As is typical, all were painted in brilliant colors, except for one which really stood out. I purchased the unpainted carving which became the model for this painting. There is more to this story because a friend who was with me purchased two of the painted statues.  At the end of our trip, my friend returned to England and I came home to Minneapolis. About a year later I was in […]

Gone to Earth

Gone to Earth Gone-to-Earth, is an oil on canvas symbolic painting, 48 inches by 24 inches. Original painting available from Saatchi Art Gone to earth is to enter our inner being, where we become  empowered through contact with our ancestral roots, nourished by the avatar of our power animal.  It is, the healing place. Conversely, to retreat from what we see as the dangers of the world into a secret lair. To go away to a place where people will not be able to find you . Featured as Princess of Earth in Tarot of the Morning Star deck

Religion of Dream Dreaming

Abducted by Dreams or The Religion of Dream If we need a religion, then let it be from our own inner reality.  Let it be our Religion of Dream. The Religion of Dream is not a doctrine but a practice: to honour the subconscious as our primal temple. Here, symbols replace scriptures, and the act of creation becomes prayer. This is a faith without hierarchy, where every dreamer is both disciple and deity. Abducted by Dreams Oil on canvas, 24 inches by 20 inches, 2010 See Magick Original painting of Abducted by Dreams available at Saachi Art Roger Williamson visual […]

Tarot Tower Explained

Tarot Tower Explained The tarot Tower card signifies destruction, but it is important to recognize that this destruction comes from within rather than from outside forces. The Tower represents the moment in our journey when we gather the courage to transcend the false self-image we have constructed—the Tower itself. By breaking free from this illusion, we are able to unleash our true selves and perceive the Tower for what it truly is: a mere eidolon (an unsubstantial image or phantom). This card suggests liberation, awakening, and the courage required to shed old beliefs and embrace authenticity. Tarot of the Morning […]
