“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

I have felt so unfocused but finally found my creative response to the Pandemic: The NOSOI were feared Greek personifications of plague(LUES) sickness (MORBUS) and disease(PESTIS). They were among the evil spirits that flew out of Pandora's jar that had held all the illness and evils of the world. In our modern world 'going viral' relates to images, videos, fake news and links that spread rapidly through a population by being frequently shared with many individuals. At this time in our history the biological virus COVID-19 is rampaging throughout our world infecting many of us. We are affected both personally and collectively as we try to navigate the grief, the loss and the sudden changes. The lack of connection with each other bites into our souls and yet our hearts and minds are finding new ways to reach out not only to our dear ones but to all human beings. No more powerful is it than now to understand the true meaning of ‘we are all connected’ . Carl Jung used the phrase psychic infection to describe what happens to us when we become worn down, burnt out and anxious...or when we are overly affected by the Collective. We run the risk of getting sick psychologically in much the same way as our body catches an infection. This is a time when our core beliefs and social constructs may become challenged and whilst this may in the long term be a positive thing in the short term it may feel like we are walking on very shaky ground. Fear and dread alongside frequent news bulletins and social media interaction may become overwhelming ramping up our feelings of stress, panic and anxiety which can create poor physical and mental health within us. May we all find nourishment for our bodies and souls and are able to create peace within the space that has just opened up, allowing our biological and psychic immune systems to carry us through these unprecedented times.....I AM VIRAL ….Perhaps you would like to share what you are doing with this space and time that is helping you ? ❤️ #redseedsart #redseedsoracle #sisters #oraclereadersofinstagram #divinefeminine #tarotreadersofinstagram #greekmythology #thegreatmotherThis all time favourite poem describes the balance many are finding at this time of difficulty and unknowing❤️. The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. #wendellberry #community #Today I have put my Etsy shop which sells The Red Seed Oracles on hold as so many of us are in lockdown. If you wanted to order let me know and I can then email you when I can send them onwards❤️ Here from RSO2 is One of the much needed Goddesses of the pandemic ...HYGEIA (Hygiene)who is the personification of good health, both mentally and physically, and is associated with health maintenance, cleanliness and the prevention of disease. Her sisters were PANACEA who was associated with the concept of treatment and LASO who personified remedies. Wishing you health and blessings as our world grows quieter and cleaner and we can listen out for the singing of the birds and know the waters are getting clearer .... with love ❤️ #redseedsart #redseedsoracle #thegreatmother #divinefeminine #mythologyart #coronavirus- Alchemy
