She is The Essesnce of Dandelion



Dandelion emerged through the paint. I followed no reference. I was very, very focused on my surgery and healing when I worked on this piece. If you notice it seems the bottom part is a fair representation of the inside of a skin cell or hair follicle. ¬¬When she emerged I decided to look up the properties to Dandelion in Jamie's book.


Here is a piece of what it said:

It is a blood tonic, blood cleanser and lymph cleanser. (I'm having my lymph node biopsied while I'm there because it causes me so much pain and headaches.
The tumor itself is vascular)

From a more "spiritual" aspect here is a piece of the book:

They can teach us a lesson that applies to our shadow selves: if we engage in the act of constantly denying an aspect of ourselves, it will ONLY GROW. THAT WHICH WE RESIST PERSISTS.



That has been my personal battle with this whole thing. There is much more in the book, but this is a very good part of it.



This gives you a clear since of what to look forward too when we are all done!

Over and OUT!

(PS>>>Love you guys)

Well, the blogspot I spoke of has been created. It's quite pretty and I  hope you take a peek over to see what magic awaits. :0)

I am going in for surgery on Friday so I'll be blogging over at my new spot from here on out.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

I just wanted to say thankyou for all of the great comments and messages you have been sending. So much warmth and kindness.

It's funny, in the last few days I have broken some ways of being that I wasn't aware I had.

With the outcome of the surgery on my face a mystery to me, I have looked at the situation from so many different angles.

What I have come to realize has been very empowering for me. I realized, I was never taught to enjoy the man I was married too. I saw a different view as a kid.

I am now looking at my husband for the first time with new eyes. I have also lived my adult life so objectified, mostly by my own doing, that I never took the chance to get to know "me".

When Mindy went missing I cried so hard and had the realization that if a person can love a cat that much then the potential of love between me and my husband could be very, very deep.

I came into contact with a blind woman who asked me to describe my artwork to her.

I have pretty abstract stuff I'm working on right now.

She had been blind for 6 months. I treated her as if she wasn't blind because she could still remember everything so I talked about broccolli and mucha mostly. (don't ask).

She got it. It was cool showing a blind person art.

Then I was thinking...she really enjoyed her visit and she couldn't see the art or my face, and yet she was having a great time.

I know this is no longer about me because I watch tv and I can actually see how much everyone on tv has become objectified and the deep human not exposed.

So I am here to ask that we all begin to go on that journey of meeting ourselves like I did that blind beautiful woman.

I am on this journey...it's the path I chose in dealing with this.

I really, really appreciate you all as my friends.

For now I have named her Provance. She is the "Essence of Lavender" and will be premiering and speaking in the new book Jamie and I are doing called "The Faeries Guide to Herbalism and Green Magick.
"

She is also the first painting to come out of my new studio and the beginning of my healing process in dealing with the surgery I will undergo on Jan. 9th.


Stay closely tuned as both Jamie and I will begin blogging about the reality of the issues we are dealing with in our lives as we process, heal, and bring the faeries magick to life in this book. It isn't just about mixing herbs. It will be a very profound symbolic message and journal of our world and our healing and the healing that we see being created around us through the mystical web of nature.
