“Beauty is not a luxury, it ennobles the heart and reminds us of the infinity that is within us.”

I am madly, madly in love with this altar! The pinks and yellows…and oh the gold leaf, love. Altar No. 9 SNAKE GODDESS The serpent, or snake, is one of the oldest and most widespread mythological symbols. Before it was demonized by patriarchal religions the snake was a revered symbol representing fertility or a creative life force. As snakes shed their skin through sloughing, they are symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing. This altar was inspired by my research into Neolithic cultures and the history of the Goddess, and my desire to rebirth our ancient Goddess lineage and bring her back to life in the modern era. I am reclaiming our ancient symbols for the Goddess and for women. For your reading pleasure, couple of lines from the Sumerian poem ‘Inanna and the god of wisdom’, circa: 2285 BCE She leaned back against the apple tree. When she leaned against the apple tree, her vulva was wondrous to behold. Rejoicing at her wondrous vulva, the young woman Inanna applauded herself. * * * There was a time, and it lasted for many, many millennia before the outbreak of the patriarchy, that Woman was revered and all parts of her celebrated. Let us celebrate Women again! #goddess #goddessworship #inanna #snake #handmade #madeinla #homealtar #altar #sacredspace
As a aesthetically sensitive person I use to sometimes feel my need for beauty was somehow entitled or perhaps an unattractive deva type trait. And then I heard John O’Donohue’s interview with Krista Tippet many years ago, The Inner Landscape of Beauty, and the spiritual and psychic value of beauty became crystal clear for me. I have spent my life creating and sharing beauty and I really do believe it reminds of our infinite nature. May your day be filled with infinite beauty. #beauty #johnodonohue #birthdaylove #inspirationalquotes #inspiration
I love experimenting and I’m super excited to be launching a new table top line that will be available in plenty of time for your holiday entertaining. I think I’ll call this glaze Sacred Sea since it reminds me of the bright blue ocean… What do you think? #handmade #tablesetting #madeinla #homedecor #ceramics
✨Happy Monday! ✨ Sharing from my altar series today. Altar No. 13 Beltane Altar This altar was created while in Sedona at an artist residency. It began without a plan in mind, I let it unfold intuitively. During the finishing process, it came to remind me of the Mists of Avalon, and the sacred Beltane union between the stag and the priestess of Avalon. The perfect balance of feminine and masculine energy. This altar is an expression of hope for the return to balance. Adding a beautiful altar to your home provides the opportunity to create sacred space. It’s an opening to stillness, a point of focus, which invites the Universe to direct her energy your way. ✨ May you be happy and at peace ✨ #sacredspace #handmade #madeinla #girlboss #homealtar #loveyourlife #homedecor #homestyle
