Whether intentional, natural, or only divined through the filter of the eye of the beholder, images and symbols of the Feminine are everywhere in the world around us.

Dolmen at Columcille
Wrapping up this week of Divined inspirations from the Association for the Study of Women and Mythology Conference I attended last week, with this image. This dolmen is from the Columcille Megalith Park, adjacent to the site of the conference. What an incredible place!

Shelia Na Gig

I share this today in honor of Her creator, Lydia Ruyle, whom I had the privilege to meet at the Association for the Study of Women and Mythology Conference this past week. We worked and shared and learned surrounded by the watchful eyes of Lydia's fantastic banners, depicting Goddesses from around the world.  Her work is inspired, and inspiring, and quite DIVINE! Please visit her site for more amazing Goddess imagery and to learn more about this incredible woman!

Goddess of the North

Goddess of the North
Landscape Sculpture in progress in Northumberland, UK

For more information about this incredible undertaking, which will be created from 1.5 million tons of earth, and take two years to complete, please read this article from BBC news, which includes a video of artist Charles Jencks, who designed the sculpture, explaining why this image is non-offensive. While it is amazing  that this Landscape Goddess is being created at all, we are presented with yet another reiteration of the view that women's bodies are something that need to be censored, rather than being something to celebrate.
