Faces of the Goddess Magazine SGC 21

What advice would you give someone who
is going to try to channel the deity in this
way?
I don't believe there is any right or wrong way
to deepen a connection to a deity, I would just
advise to approach with the same caution as
any spiritual practice, with a knowledge of
how to let go of the connection and ground
yourself afterwards.
Do you think that art has in any way
helped certain deities to be closer to us?
I believe that each time we create
representations of deities it is an offering
to them and a way of honouring them and
keeping them in the mind of others who will
similarly honour them. Creating spiritual art
is very different to creating other visual art.
I never sign my work because I believe I'm
creating tools that can be used in ritual or
private practice to help people connect.
Who is your our favorite artist and / or
artistic piece?
One of the pieces of art that was most
influential to me was the Mud Maid at the
Lost Gardens of Heligan. At the time of my
visit, in the late 1990's the piece had been
recently installed and wasn't as well known as
it is now, so I unexpectedly came across her
whilst wandering down a meandering path in
the woods! The image of a sleeping Goddess
half emerged in the earth, interwoven with
nature and the elements has always stuck with
me.
