2015 Queen of Heaven I created this Art Peace and had no idea what I had just „conjured up…“ I had only heard of The Queen of the Night in Mozart‘s Zauberflöte. This Art Peace was an important part of a larger puzzle I had no idea I was exploring! I was confused and asked the „Source of Inspiration“ from whence it came, to send me more information on what I had connected to… a few days later, a friend popped past and gave me a book titled, WHEN GOD WAS A WOMAN… Queen of Heaven was perhaps a myth many thousands of years ago, when matrilineal/matrichial rule was a Culture of sustainable Life… The original symbolism of a fish would definately surprise many people… May I suggest you explore the research of Merlin Stone and her fascinating colleagues?

The Sacred & Divine Feminine

2015 Mother Sight Made in Germany Ceramics & Wood Height: 38cm Private Collection, Germany

Our Grandfather came from the „Einstein Generation“, and he had an overwhelming respect for Life in all shapes and sizes. As Einstein once said, „There are two ways to live your Life: One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.“ Growing up in Africa was a privilige and an enrichening experience… the diversity of people, the land which claims you, the soil that bleeds… The incredible trees, who stand in unbearable heat and yet manage to grow and give shade and Life. The diversity of living beings such as the fragile glass-eyed bird, compared to the magnificent and powerful matriachal elephant herd… I was incredibly blessed to have so many strong women around me, and even more so, some real men who could appreciate them. However, the world I witnessed was not perfect. There were/are more men who are unable to appreciate the Significance of the Feminine, and, sadly, there are too many women, who look upon it as weakness, and not Power. These are men who have forgotten the Sanctuary of Balance and the Sacred Masculine role we should be evolving into… „If we do not honour our past wo lose our future if we destroy our roots we cannot grow.“ Freidensreich Hundertwasser This is an Ode to Life - Life nurtured, saved, adored, relished, Life loved… Life born by the Sacred, Devine Feminine… I was raised to believe or see Earth as a Living Being, as Mother Earth. Our Mother instilled this deep awe & respect for Mother Earth in my Brother & I. A copy of Chief Seattle‘s Treaty Oration hung in our home… A great rolemodel taught me that we, as Creators or potters, should respect our materials/Sources. Respect the sacred clay, for it is Mother Eart‘s flesh. Each time we burn clay into a shape we made, it will forever be unable to grow a living Being. No seed can sprout from crushed burned clay. The Earth lives. Take nothing for granted!

„Bastet is the Egyptian goddess of the home, domesticity, women's secrets, cats, fertility, and childbirth. She protected the home from evil spirits and disease, especially diseases associated with women and children. As with many Egyptian deities, she also played a role in the afterlife as a guide and helper to the dead although this was not one of her primary duties. She was the daughter of the sun god Ra and is associated with the concept of the Eye of Ra (the all-seeing eye) and the Distant Goddess (a female deity who leaves Ra and returns to bring transfromation).“ Source: https://www.ancient.eu/Bastet/

We are made of her flesh . . .

Did we ever imagine to live in a time, where ephemeral politics dominated ancient instincts, and being born a Woman, made a Mother, by the grace of Nature, would seem something to be ashamed of? Where a small group of life-disrespecting scientists, who believe themselves to be on the creative level of Source itself, made themselves believe that they had the sole right to change the very essence and nature of Mother Nature? This Art Peace, is dedicated to Mother Sight, and the Soul-wired instincts Mother Nature bound within our motherly bodies.

Daily, I read about political so-called advancements/changes towards (industrial) sustainability… Sadly, I do not read about a single politician/“leader“, who stands for the protection of trees, jungles or forests… Destroying forests for the sake of mining for e-car components is still a priority… The secrets to healing and spiritual culture that are being destroyed, is one of the worst crimes ever commited, and we are not even aware of it! I recommend those who are interested in genuine ecology, to start following the lectures of this inspirational Mind:
