Painting is fun!

You may think I am totally nuts but I believe I see fairies.... balls of light that dance around & sometimes sparkle then disappear. I went to the eye doctor to check out my eyes and he said they are fine. I have a strong affinity to fairies!

Would love to see your pictures and especially your painting. I know it is limited viewing for now and that's ok.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes, a jungian analyst talks about kissing the hag as being the natural process of a mature relationship. Meaning that until we can kiss the hag (dark,angry, unlovely) side of our mate, the relationship will remain forever superficial. Kissing the hag is to take the relationship to a deeper level.... warts and all. Also in the fables you speak of it is about sovereignty. The Knight accepts her for what she is and she becomes whole and beautiful in his eyes. He looked beyond her appearance, kissed the beauty of her soul and she rose to the occasion inside and out. If you men are single there is a very important message here.

Bear with me on the Hag/Sheela theory. So the Crone/Hag has sex for the fun of it and is a bit wild in the process. She makes no apology and has many suitors. She is well beyond child rearing years or worse yet knows herbal lore for birth control. Can you think of any greater enemy to the christian movement?

Also if women were never in a position of power what is the point of kicking a dog when she is down. Thier put downs are so extreme they seem to be coming from fear or some past domination.
