This Anhinga bird is my new familiar. She dries her wings in my backyard. "Anhinga" means "devil-snake bird." She swims with her neck out of the water and looks just like a snake swimming toward you.

The autumn equinox was an auspicious day in ancient Crete. Orion would have dominated the night sky, which could have been seen as an axe - a pervasive symbol in that culture.

In ancient Egypt a blood moon was a sign that Goddess Maat was angry and had disrupted universal balance and truth.

Statue of St. Sebastian under the altar of his church in Rome. Cecilia's cell in the catacombs lay directly beneath it.

Shrines Happen! Sleeping goddess of Malta with images of the cave she was found in. Spiral necklace I purchased there and of course, crystals for sacred dreaming!
