Return of the Light at Imbolc & The Swan Blessing
Michael Hiep - 'Awakening of Spring (Element: Earth)' http://www.michaelhiep.nl/eng/index.php |
Bright Blessings to you all at Imbolc! On 1st August we celebrate the ancient Celtic festival of Imbolc - the Returning of the Light after the dark winter months. It is a time of awakening as the creatures and plants and sleeping parts of ourselves emerge from our caves and burrows. Awakening from our Winter dreaming to feel the glow of the sun and the approaching excitement of Spring.
Recently I had the pleasure of sharing The Swan Blessing with visionary Australian artist, Sharon McLeod who created this incredible image of Brighid below. Imbolc is Brighid's festival - may her fiery arrow awaken the dreamer within to their full potential. Today is the last day of the special introductory price of $135 for The Swan Blessing - book your session by 1st August to receive this special offer.

Dream Vision - Albrecht Durer
Albrecht Durer. Dream Vision. 9 June 1525 Watercolour on paper |
“In the year 1525 between Wednesday and Thursday (7-8 June) after Whitsunday during the night I saw this appearance in my sleep, how many great waters fell from heaven. The first struck the earth about four miles away from me with a terrific force, with tremendous clamour and clash, drowning the whole land. I was so sore afraid that I awoke from it before the other waters fell. And the waters which had fallen were very abundant. Some of them fell further away, some nearer, and they came down from such a great height that they all seemed to fall with equal slowness. But when the first water, which hit the earth, was almost approaching, it fell with such swiftness, wind and roaring, that I was so frightened when I awoke that my whole body trembled and for a long while I could not come to myself. So when I arose in the morning I painted above here as I had seen it. God turn all things to the best.”
Translated in A. Rosenthal, “Dürer’s dream of 1525,” Burlington Magazine 69 (August 1936)

Mountain Mystic Encaustic Art
Two encaustic pieces painted on Mount Tamborine as I was giving a demo to Mikailah's children on how to start making their own creations. Children are really incredibly perceptive and can see symbols and stories in the wax very quickly and of course, paint beautifully and easily. Mikailah's daughter (7) told me the top piece was special and should come home with me and Mikailah's little boy (5) said the second piece is of a 'water dragon'. Out of the mouths of babes...
I have just 2 encaustic starter kits left at $115 each - they include everything you need to begin your dive into the colourful deep x

The Power of Words
Mark 'E' Everett |
Recently I have been rediscovering the power of the written word, tracking down books that I have wanted to read for years and also embracing writing letters by hand again. Letters of Note is a wonderful and absorbing website to inspire you to pick up the quill and get writing to your friends, perhaps even to your best friend - yourself.
Here is a brilliant letter by Mark 'E' Everett, lead sing of the Eels who wrote a letter to his 16 year old self for the book: Dear Me: More Letters to My 16-Year-Old Self
Chateau E
June 12, 2010Dear sweet, naive, 16 year old me,
You poor sap. I know you won't believe any of this, but you should. How can I get it through your thick, acne-pocked skull? All the stupid things you are so worried about really aren't very important at all. In fact, they are the opposite of important. What if I told you that all the "winners" around you right now were actually the losers? Well, I just did tell you that, but you still don't believe me because I'm an adult and 16 year olds can never trust adults.
What if I tried to explain it this way: That feeling you've never been able to put a name on -- it feels something like, let's say, a bone-crushing insecurity and cluelessness about your place in the world -- just forget about it! That's right. You can forget about it and go about your days -- confident with the knowledge that it's all going to work out just fine. Because as you get older, you will figure stuff out. A lot of stuff. And that bone-crushing feeling will slowly dissipate. I'm sorry. I can't remember if you knew what the word "dissipate" meant when you were 16. You will feel it less and less as time goes on. That's what I meant to say.
And all those "winners" who appear at the top of their games and lives are indeed, just that: at their peaks! It's all downhill for those idiots from here. Ha! Come on, let's have a laugh. At their expense! It's okay. You've earned it!
While YOU get to do the opposite: Things will just get better and better for you. And here's the best part: It turns out that girls like geeky smart guys much more than dumb sports guys. For many reasons. You'll see. So relax, man. Just relax. And I can even pass along this shocking piece of information: You will enjoy your life in your 40s! You heard me. It's gonna be great!
Now, I'm not saying it's not going to come with some serious bumps in the road along the way, but don't worry. Those bumps are the very thing that will make you a better person along the way and make you appreciate yourself and the world around you more and more. So you can stop worrying about the mean kids around you and stop putting any energy into being mean yourself. Ignore all that crap and enjoy the nice things in your life. Now how 'bout a smile? No? Well, you ARE 16. I get it. But I can tell you're smiling just a little on the inside.
Sincerely,
(Signed, 'E')
A Fully Grown Man Called E
