Description

On the hilltops in the British Isles you can still see bonfires burning joyously away on Beltane or May Day, May 1st. Beltane is still celebrated as it has been throughout the ages as a fertility festival by farming communities in olden times. The awakening of the land was very important when peoples existence relied upon it in order to reap a good harvest in the fall. It is traditional not only to dance around a maypole and weave colored ribbons about the pole, but also to dance around, between, or leap over bonfires. This is for purification after the long winter. As the celebrants dance about the circle, sparks of energy that they have raised with their jubulant dance flow about the circle like fireflies. They are all dressed differently, representing different backgrounds and traditions, but come together in the circle in fellowship. One woman has donned faerie wings, a reminder that the first of May is a day of much faerie activity. The drummer keeps time and one man plays lilting airs on a flute. We are a circle, within a circle, with no beginning, and never ending. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor pencils on Illustration board.

EPCINN: Poster, Color: Inner Journey(11x17) :: EPCINN

Item Name: Inner Journey
Item Number: EPCINN
Price: $45.00


 

 
 

A place outside of a place, a time outside time, the world that we travel in dreams and meditation is as real as this one is. Real is all in perception, and you can affect change in yourself from this place of meditation as you can in the physical world. Sometimes the journey within is just as important as the journey without. In this place, this traveler has created a world in her minds eye. We see pieces of earth free floating and unconnected to each other. A sacred spring wells up at the feet of a goddess figure. The tree of life appears before her with the light of truth shining from behind. Paths float, and can be chosen, or not. The traveler passes along, deep in meditation, a light scarf serving as a connection between the worlds. This is a place of safety and introspection. White doves pass far off in the distance, spiritual guides, there to assist if called upon. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor pencils on Illustration board. By Mickie Mueller

 

 

 

     
EPCMOO: Poster, Color: Moon Goddess(11x17) :: EPCMOO

Item Name: Moon Goddess
Item Number: EPCMOO
Price: $45.00

 


 
"The moon has been represented as feminine in spirit by many world cultures. She is the cool shining counterpart to the fiery masculine sun. She is often associated with healing and rebirth due to the ever changing cycles of the silvery orb. She is also associated with love, childbirth, prophesy, and magic. Wiccans and other modern earth-nature oriented religions regard the moon as a source of power to effect positive change and inspiration. The moon effects the tides, and as we are mostly water many believe she effects our emotions and energy with her magnetic pull. Just ask any police officer or emergency room worker, or anyone who works with the public, they will tell you that you can always tell when it`s a full moon. This piece is the oldest of all that appear on this site. I was pursuing different avenues with my art when the inspiration came to me for the `Moon Goddess` It was a real effort at the time to make time to create something that was just for me. After many years I gradually dedicated my art to my spiritual visions and have found myself happier in my artistic pursuits than I have ever been before. Looking back at this piece, I feel that the Goddess blessed me with the peace that I have found creating the art in these galleries. I fondly remember as a child how the Lady Moon seemed to follow me everywhere I went, as if watching over me. She still does." 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller

 
 
 

 

     
> EPCVIO: Poster, Color: Violet Faerie(11x17) :: EPCVIO

Item Name: Violet Faerie
Item Number: EPCVIO
Price: $45.00

 

 
 The Violet Faerie can be found hovering above the grass or in shady groves where violets bloom in the spring. She is the guardian of the violet flowers and carries within her essence the magical energies and spiritual vibrations that the tiny purple flowers do. If you ask her permission before you gather the first violet you see in the spring, she may grant you a wish. Be sure to thank her if your wish is granted by leaving a new penny for the violet plant, or better yet, a small fertilizer spike. If you can coax her to appear to you she may be useful in healing a headache or dizziness. If you are feeling temperamental and having trouble sleeping, meditate upon the Violet Faerie and she will soothe your mind and bless you with sweet dreams. Her delicate wings spread out behind her as she slowly moves her wand through the softly scented air. The crystal tip glows slightly within the crescent moon wand which mirrors the violets` association with lunar aspects and water. She waits tentatively to see if you will speak with her, or if you will move too quickly and never get the chance. My charming teenage friend Erin was the model for this piece, very much a young fey herself. The wand looks very much like her own made of copper and crystal. You can also see this young high school athlete lending her likeness to The Maiden Huntress. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller

Dragons area symbol of strength. They also express grace, beauty, and power. This is a creature of cunning, you don`t want to get into a battle of wits with a dragon!

Proud and majestic he soars over his homeland as its protector and mascot. Dragons have long been regarded with a mixture of curiosity and fear, their place in our psyche is undeniable. This dragon is the masculine "Yang", he is like the sun; hot, energetic and proactive. He soars over a formation of Garnets, a stone of passion, his talons gleam as he approaches his consort, the Crystal Dragon, to create balance. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller

 

 

EPCLUG: Poster, Color: Lugh of the Long Arm(11x14) :: EPCLUG

Item Name: Lugh of The Long Arm
Item Number: EPCLUG
Price: $45.00


 
 

Lugh or LLew, (pronounced Loo, ) means "light" or "shining" and although believed to be considered a deity of the sun by the ancient civilizations of the Celts, the Roman invaders associated him with their God Mercury due to his many skills. He is known as Lugh of the Long Arm, as he is he guardian of the magical spear of Gorias. Another of his magical weapons is the sling which he used to kill his terrible adversary Balor, by using the sling to drive Balors evil staring eye backwards in his skull, so that it stared down it`s baneful magic upon Balors own armies. Lugh is also known as Llew Llaw Gyffes "bright one of skillful hand" and his ancient festival day Lughnasadh circa August 1, was usually associated with the bountiful harvest of wheat , sports and games of skill. In one legend, he was refused entry to the city of Tara. as he was told that only someone who had skills that no one in the city possessed could gain entry. He challenged the keepers of the city with his many talents, wheelright, metal-worker, warrior, bard, magician, doctor, cupbearer, and more. He was told that all those skills were met by individual people within the city. He then asked if any one man possessed all of those skills, to which the reply was "No." This was how Lugh gained entrance to the city of Tara and came to serve as steward to the King Nuadha and rule after Nuadha lost his hand in battle. In a story from the Mabinogion, Llew had a spell placed upon him by his mother Arianrhod, that he could not have a wife of the human race. Great magicians Gwydion, his uncle and Math magically made him a wife of flowers, Blodeuwedd which means flower face. While Llew was away she had fallen in love with another man. She then tricked Llew into showing her the only method by which he could be killed. She later had her lover Gronw Pebyr attack him in the manner described. According to legend, the spear only wounded Llew, who turned into an Eagle and soared away. Gwydion found Llew and changed him back, and he also transformed Blodeuwedd into an owl to live out her remaining days. Llew slayed Gronw Pebyr upon the same spot where he had fallen. With Llew now healed and restored, the land grew bountiful and prospered. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller

 She nurtures her small infant in her arms beneath the protection of a willow tree. A new member of the Fey race, born in the spring will grow with love and be taught the ways of nature and the magick that is used by The Good People to make all things live and grow. In the faerie mother is seen the strength of love a mother has for her child and wisdom held within to be imparted to the young and passed on to future generations. Protection, nurturing, and patience are the blessings a mother bestows upon her young. In the faerie child lives infinate potential and possibilities, everything new and fresh, and the begining of the paths of life. Everything is new through the eyes of a child. This was created for my own mother who taught me many things, and several other mothers in my life for Mothers Day 2005. As a mother myself, I always appreciate a gift made from the heart. This work would be equally well recieved as a gift to any mother as well as a gift to hang in a childs room or nursery. It would also be a great meditation focus for healing your inner child. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller

 
 

 

 

EPCWAN: Poster, Color: Waning Moon Woman(11x17) :: EPCWAN

Item Name: Waning Moon Woman
Item Number: EPCWAN
Price: $45.00


 
..
 This is an interpretation of the Crone, one aspect of the Triple Goddess. I chose to portray her as a Native American woman, growing up in New Mexico, I always thought the Navaho women of age with their long silver hair and lines of experience must have some great secrets and wisdom behind their knowing eyes. My wonderful friend, an Elder in a tribe in Wisconsin advised me on some aspects of this piece as well as a crash course on the medicine wheel. ( just the smallest tip of the iceberg) In the basket before her are herbs including Chicory and Sweet grass. A smudge stick, for cleansing, corn representing nourishment, a gourd bowl filled with water representing the cauldron of rebirth, and a tortoise rattle. The two arrows in her hand are a version of the two spears associated with her Celtic Crone sister, as is the cauldron. Her prayer shawl is the deep blue night, alive with stars, crescents, and spirals of rebirth. She draws down power from the waning moon, mysteries, magick and wisdom are hers. A crow, her totem animal, soars through the dark of the waning moon. She reminds us of all things great that come with age, the wise women we can learn from and must show respect to, for they hold the whisperings of our ancestors. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller

 

EPCGOD: Poster, Color: Goddess Ostara(11x14) :: EPCGOD

Item Name: Goddess Ostra
Item Number: EPCGOD
Price: $45.00


 

 
Description

The Goddess Ostaras (Eostres) celebration day can vary from the spring equinox (circa March 21) to the first full moon after the equinox. She is the Anglo-Saxon / Germanic Goddess of new beginnings, fertility, hope and renewal. It is a time of balance between day and night. Her symbols include the hare, colored eggs, spring flowers, in older times celebrants wore brand new clothing to celebrate her festival. Does this all sound familiar? It should, the symbolism and even the name of Ostaras / Eostres festival were adopted by the Christian celebration of Easter which also celebrates renewal and rebirth. One should note, that the holiday of Easter moves every year. It always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. Ostara is an interesting Goddess because she is considered a Maiden Goddess but instead of a new crescent, uses full moon energy. This makes sense if we consider that she is the Goddess who fires up all the growth in the spring. Physics teaches us that an object at rest, tends to stay at rest, it takes more energy to begin momentum that continue it. Consider the seed sleeping beneath the earth or the bud tightly wrapped on a tree branch. Its like when the alarm goes off while you are snug under your blankets; the hardest part is just getting up and moving, and it takes a lot of energy to get started. That may explain a Maiden with full moon energy. This dynamic Lady of spring has also had the female hormone Estrogen named after her. Bursting full of the power of femininity as well as regeneration, she takes the relay of life firmly in hand as the Crone has passed it to her from the underworld. As we note the sprouts, buds and blossoms bursting forth from the deep dark earth, take a moment to thank Ostara. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller
 

 

 

     
    EPCMAI: Poster, Color: Maiden Huntress(11x17) :: EPCMAI

Item Name: Maiden Huntress
Item Number: EPCMAI
Price: $45.00


 

                                             

She is known as Artemis to the Greeks and is closely identified with the Roman Dianna, she is the Maiden Huntress. She is a Goddess with swiftness and grace and a force to be reckoned with. She hunts the woods and mountain regions, accompanied by one of her fine hunting dogs, the ancient hounds that are sacred to her. Other animals sacred to the huntress are the stag and the owl. The Maiden Huntress should be approached with the utmost respect as she is not pleased with unwanted intrusions, nor with any harm to her sacred animals. She guards her virtue fiercely, ask her for assistance if you wish to stave off unwanted advances. She is seen here clothed in a silvery tunic and her athletic build stands against the darkening sky of the early evening. The waxing crescent moon is her symbol. That very thin crescent that you see in early evening that looks like the Cheshire Cat`s grin is sometimes known as "Dianas` Bow". She has left her hair free and blowing in the evening to represent her free spirit and untamed nature. At the first sighting of the thin sliver of the moon in the west, blow her a kiss three times, then donate silver money in her name, and she will grant you abundance in return. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller
