“However veiled the Feminine is always naked.” Marion Woodman
Linda HIll – Printmaker

My creative path is the the joyful art of print-making and life drawing. I enjoy the process, and the unexpected. My interests are Jungian psychology, mythology and alchemy. My life continues to be a journey of enquiry and exploration of the Divine Feminine of how She travels in both ancient and contemporary times. She is found in myth, story, poetry and dreams and it is in these place that I meet her greet Her.
“My speech is imperfect. Not because I want to shine with words, but out of the impossibility of finding those words, I speak in images. With nothing else can I express the words from the depths.” C.G.Jung

The winged Greek Goddess Palioxis is the personification of strategic retreat, who flew high above the battlefield spreading her wings and her wisdom.It is said she was the daughter of Eris, Goddess of strife. In the I Ching the hexagram 33 is named RETREAT (Dun) and offers those that consult its wisdom to ensure that when negative conflict overwhelms them it is often better and wiser to strategically retreat. Stepping back and reflecting on the situation rather than escalating it leads to great success. When something triggers us and pushes our buttons we find ourselves in the middle of a highly charged situation. But the core of the negativity always offers us a teaching. Fixed ideas, core beliefs and a desire to blame are often involved. This is because our egoic self is standing in the way of our soul Self, our true Self. Confrontation therefore calls upon us to reflect on our own Shadow. Preserving our energy until we know how to reposition ourselves limits damage to ourselves and to others. We all need to step away from the "battlefield" at times to re-evaluate, strengthen and gain vision.......I AM RETREATING.........“In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion." Albert Camus from The Minotaur.......#redseedsart #redseedsoracle #theredseedsoracle #redseedsoracle2 #oraclecards #sisters #tarotcollector #goddessart #oraclecommunity #oraclereadersofinstagram #oraclecardreading #womenartists #womanempowerment #feminineart #goddess #femaleartists #mythologyart #divinefeminineart #greekmythology #oracledeck #divinefeminine # #thegreatmother #oraclereview #equalitynowThis morning I rose early in the darkness for day 30……. to contemplate the 4 cards I had pulled for each week: 1. BIRD WOMAN: She represents the landscape of knowing, silence, divination and listening encouraging me to deeply enter such a space for this journey. Feminine receptivity dreaming the visions and the truths. 2. METIS: Justice for the Feminine. Mary’s cloak hides centuries of diminishment. Telling us to rise up from being small…I was feeling small. 3. SHEELA: always brings revelation but demands we find our courage to look with her into the void. My dear friend is dying. 4. MARY on the ROSE-LINE: The Feminine’s spiritual desire is to restore wholeness and equal union with the masculine. She tells us we are waking up. I then read Jay Ramsay…”We will see we have been every kind of rose; love rose, desert rose, death rose, nothing rose,…and in each new rose we all know that Love is working behind everything. And who are we then ? We are a Rose Garden....perfect or so I thought .... And so I crept downstairs to clean my permanent Mary shrine and look what happened! She was broken ….. Leonard Cohen’s hymns were in the background ……Ring the bells that still can ring, Forget your perfect offering, There is a crack in everything ,That's how the light gets in. (!) A powerful metaphor. She will be mended……Thank you all for your sisterhood on this journey at the Hearth of Mary that has been overflowing with grace and love🙏🌹🌹❤️ #30dayswithmary #walkingwithmary #thefrenchmadonna #thegreatmother #redseedsoracle #redseedsart #feminineempowerment #sisters #goddess #equalitynowDay27: #30dayswithmary #walkingwithmary Reading Hettienne’s post this morning put me in a space to remember the seed of my connection with Mary. My grandmother wanted to call me Stella-Maris, she was an excommunicated Catholic as she had married a protestant man after ‘living in sin’. As a child I was the only one in my family drawn to the church. I was a shy, quiet ‘good’ girl with a lot on her shoulders…and that was my view and resonance of Mary at that time. I was often given the part of the Virgin Mary at school and in the Christmas Church novena. Being Mary wasn’t all that easy as she had to be very very still, well…I thought she had to be still ? which was hard as I often had a cold in December:) At 13 I awakened and finally found my voice and my wildness. I queried why God was masculine and how did Mary immaculately conceive.The church gave me no answers. I left and set about devouring books on religions and philosophy. In later years the search for the lost feminine became more and more important and led me to the path of feminism and the Goddess. My journey changes and continues. I can now see beyond the ‘pure’ the ‘good’ the “no voice” and the desexualised image that is outwardly displayed by the Mary archetype and know that she was and is a part of the Great Mother, the sacred feminine which is finally awakening. My journey continues…..Thank you Hettienne for sharing your stories of your journey with Mary and the Great Mother. I would love to hear stories from others walking Her ways. #thegreatmother #divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #redseedsart #redseedsoracle- Alchemy
