Autumnal Leaf 1

Leaves are the symbols of spiritual continuity. Grow, fall, rest.. The metaphor for life is too simplistic: they are the metaphor for breath. In, out, rest. Each leaf is a meditation on the fundamental technicalities of life. 

Autumnal leaves are beautifully stunning in their colours and textures. They could be made of leather, skin, the skin of the body that grows, falls and rests. The growth is unmistakable. The frailty is in your breath. The strength is in your soul.

Orchid

The orchid is a symbol of sexuality and strength, powerful but often trivialized. Commercialized in recent years, orchids are available for little cost at corner stores. They have become disposable, ignorable, representing a non-committed flight of fancy. This painting is not.

This orchid is unique to itself. Its availability is restricted, its cost puts it beyond the reach of many. It is not disposable, it is not a flight of fancy. This painting is committed to the sexuality and strength it portrays.

Pansy

Secrets abound inside the pansy. Surrounded by a universe of mystery, the pansy holds powerful qualities which belie their reputation. Only in mindfully experiencing this power will you ever fully understand it.

Books and Bag

An old leather hand-stitched bag can carry a remarkable collection of magical things wrapped in time and life and death. The bag is worn with use, discolored from life's journey, strong, natural, and full of magic -- a fair and accurate representation of the spirit within. Keeping a book used to cost a witch her life, if it was to be discovered. But the smart witch knows secrets of nature to hide her words. Invisible inks,  runes, spiritual symbols of transformation. A book can get you killed even today. Owning it, writing it, reading it. They are some of the most dangerous things anyone can possess.

Besom

Besoms are used to sweep out bad energy from a space. Using a besom and sweeping the air, all in the same direction toward a door or window, will clean a room of bad energy, or even just used up, tired energy. By getting rid of the old and bringing in the new, you are healthier and spiritually stronger.

Pan

A representation of the God is typical in the home of a witch. I have both the Green Man and Pan, both of whom are sides of the same coin. Pan represents a joyful and active sexuality, and he is looking like  the mischievous little fellow that he is. He is a god of the forest, and so the background is moss and rock and forest canopy.

Flowers and Herbs

Rose petals and dandelion, rosemary and burdock can be ground in a mortar and infused with the magic of shark teeth and other unexpected objects to create powerful spells. Herbs and flowers in the hands of a witch can become powerful tools when  imbued with energy and magic.
