The Four-fold Goddess
38"H x 12"W each, digital scratchboard illustrations; 2023.
The Eleusian Mysteries were one of the most popular religious cults of the ancient world. It is believed that initiates experienced the powerful cycles of death and rebirth as personified by four Goddesses as one: Kore—Waxing Moon: Daughter of innocence, maiden of flowers and the promise of Spring. The virgin whose sexuality is yet to come. Demeter—Full Moon: Great Mother of abundance who brings forth life and provides her children a harvest of plenty. She is the embodiment of fertility at it’s height. Persephone—Waining Moon: Consort and Queen of The Underworld, keeper of souls and Earth’s deep riches. She is the confident woman of desires fulfilled. Hecate—Dark Moon: Sovereign of the crossroads, ruler of magic and guardian at the threshold to Mystery. The wise woman past her fertile years has other work to do. Love, then, is a journey as well as a fulfillment. The journey makes a cycle through life, and teaches us about growth through change on the way to becoming whole.
