Navajo Goddess She is the queen of a realm unseen by most and felt by nary but a special few With a whisper of smoke and a shiver of a birds wing she sings a song so faint the ears can not hear but is heard only by a heart that is dear and pure of light she intoxicates all who find her, glimmering in the starlight shine, in the rushing river, the blossoming flower, in the silvery spinning of a spiders web.

Sugar Skull Goddess - self portrait With the light always comes the dark. She lives in the deepest of places, but she is not a dark entity she is not death but a representation of the ultimate manifestation of the self. When you allow old ideas and behaviors to pass you find a renewed sense of self and an opportunity to grow into your full potential. She stands at the gateway of old and shows you the door to the new, the full moon lights the path. Only when you have walked through the darkness can you than stand in the light.
