Description: Hail Sekhemet - May we learn to envision her radiance in new ways, learning from the past as we begin again, making healing our primary focus even when things seem really challenging. I don't take her medicine lightly. This iconic Goddess from Egypt, has been by my side for many life times. And even though her stories are about fierceness I also know her to be the embodiment of love and healing. May she also bless your life, with renewed perennial mother wisdom, offering protection, guidance and fierce truth telling in the name of love. Even now she is dreaming our remembrance of the ancient ways, as we find our way back to her temples, stand at her gates and begin again to live from truth and integrity.

Affirmation: I am safe, I am sound, the mothers got my back, and holds me with her ancient codes of integrity.

Description: This image was crafted on 12-12-2020 - Feast day of the Virgin of Guadalupe. I made this collage to honor Guadalupe, this digital alchemy collage features a stone carving of the Aztec Goddess Tonantzin, and an image of the Original Picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe (also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe) shown in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in México City.

The intention was to merge the energies of Guadalupe and Tonantzin, that the fuller energy of the Mother Earth Goddess could be drawn closer to us in the reception of the artwork.

“She will appear to you as much in the midst of noise, upheaval and times when we feel the sky is falling as when there is peace all around, at least in one’s own little universe — for she is often most present whenever there is most need for order, strength, endurance, a new idea, fierceness, hope and vitality.” - Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.

Affirmation: I stand impeccably poised in the knowing that Love is Bountifully available. I see the planet holy, healed and whole, as humanity wakes to a bigger understanding of love.

Description: Effulgent and pregnant with possibility, Gaia’s full belly and breasts are emanating the codes of regeneration. Inviting us to open to our own creative nature as we develop an understanding of our guardianship of the planet. Two Divine Masculine Guardians, riding Unicorns are on either side of her, and elemental beings, flutter and sit around her belly, anticipating the birth, of hers and yours creative out pourings. This image is about catching the feeling, and hum of Gaia’s great fertility and vulnerability, and the subtle beauty available to us, as we playfully accept our place in creation.

Affirmation: I align and open my energy with the heartbeat of Gaia. I am natural energized in her expansive birth giving potential, igniting my own creative wisdom and inspiration.

Description: I created this image in March this year 2020 to honor the Spring Equinox. It was just weeks after the Pandemic started and the virtually almost all the flights had stopped. The world had become still for a moment. Collectively humanity was in a bit of a panic, but outside in the fields all manner of beauty was still rising to greet the day and express life, living and the impulse of creation. Equinoxes are those mid points in the year, where we have balance between light and dark. This year we were deeply initiated collectively to stand in the center of our knowing, and choose what we wanted to focus on. That is why I choose to make this image, one of Earth being re birthed thru the Cosmic Rose Portal. Even though it felt like the familiar in our lives was dying, I couldn’t help but since that something profound and sweet and filled with possiblity was just ahead.

Affirmation: Poised in the still point, I patiently participate in the active knowing that all is well, sacred and safe.

Description: This image is inspired by the elements of the lands where I currently reside on a small island called Gozo, in the Mediterranean sea. Close to my house is a chapel dedicated to Stella Maris, Star of the Sea, where Mary is honored as a guiding light, and a protectress for fisherman and people of the Sea. Her energy rising from the earth, emanates love in an upward sweep, as the magical hands of an elemental pour forth pearls of wisdom. This image is about the fundamental connection of the elements, the planet herself and that fundamental connection Mary holds for us. Encouraging us to stand rooted where we are, as we weather the storms of life and clear days.

Affirmation: Feet rooted on the Earth, energy rising up, I illuminate my life with wisdom, faith and love. I am in the mother and the mother is in me.

Description: The Sacred Feminine is rising on Earth, and Mary holds the high watch. This is a celestial cosmic Mary, that beckons a new dawn, she calls to us and demands with her empathic penetrating gaze, to soften our hearts, make tender intentions, and hold a clear vision for that which we wish to create. She invites us to expand our perspective, and hold the larger vision for what is possible for our selves and the collective.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝘉𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯 is reminding us to stand tall in our Sovereignty, in our inner wisdom as we balance all the energies of this life.

A sovereign woman is a Chalice, she knows herself, what she can give and what she needs to say no to. She greets her life from a place of authentic self acceptance. She shines her own unique light out into the darkness of the world, and brings solace to others thru her soft lens of heart filled clarity. She is not trying to be anybody special, other than her authentic self, for she knows just to be tenderly, vulnerable human is enough. She breathes, she laughs, she cries, and creates from the wellspring within her being.

𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

I honor my authentic self. I create from love!

Knowing it’s fun and safe to Just be…the Queen, knowing I am connected to all the women who have come before me and all those that will follow.

I create and lead as a legacy of Love.

Description: Luminous, Reflective, Sensuous and Regal, each Full Moon we are blessed with her radiant glow. As we begin to synchronize ourselves with her rhythms, we find strength clarity and resources for personal divination and revelation.

Walk out into your garden at night, gather flowers, bath yourself in the moons soft illuminating light. Let this energy penetrate your being as you soften into a deeper, more tender understanding of your own resilience and strength.

Consecrate this time as your own personal “Sanctuary”.

It takes courage to consciously enter this sacred space, but this is where you will be nourished, and there by recharge yourself to be nourishing to others.

Fill your own Chalice by the light of each radiant Moon, and watch as your own heart becomes a Sanctuary, that nourishes your world.

Affirmation:

I practice the Art of Receiving Sanctuary

In the light of the moon, I recharge myself.

In my Garden at night, I find myself.

By the glow of the moons soft light, I am reminded of who I am and Why I cam here.

I am of the Rose Pink Moon, and She is of Me.

Description: What is at the still point of your focus?

What do you choose, when resting and connecting to your inner knowing? What seeds are resting in the fertile womb of your consciousness, gestating, waiting to spring to life, as you move through the seasons. In the tender stillness of your holy center, what's blossoming on the inside? What is your prayer for humanity and what will you choose?

Affirmation:

I rest deeply in the holy still point of my center!

I allow creation to manifest from the depths of my inner being.

I trust deeply in the process, and surrender all doubts.

I am the Beauty Way and the Beauty Way is me.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Sometimes our worlds of perception collide, and we can feel disillusioned. Sometimes we can be faced with a great challenge, disappointment or loss. Life doesn’t always make sense, and it is in these times when we feel most challenged, that we are also presented the golden opportunity to find the grace, gifts and gold linings in life’s challenging lessons.

Our Lady of the Sunflowers holds this space for us, she is here to remind us, to discover the gold at the heart of things. To be resourceful, willful and radiant. She teaches us to open to receive, but also to share our gifts, abundantly with our world. She reminds us to be bold radiant and life giving. In this way, the mind stops judging and a new resilience springs forth naturally from “Life Loving Life” for what “just” is. We find acceptance, resourcefulness and a wellspring of internal energy to share with the world.

𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

I am radiant.

I am Grace.

I see the Gold, and Gifts.

I am resourced beyond my wildest dreams and live from this place.

I am in the Mother, and she is in Me.

Serendipity is a digital Alchemy Collage created by Artist Shelley Sophia Crawford in 2023.

This is about the fortuitous creativity that flows through feminine consciousness, when relaxed and nourished by the warmth of our Sun the expansive solar light of Creation.

Wave upon wave of blessing, as we open to the creative spark of co-creation, with a playful and alive, and relaxed attitude. This brings Serendipity.
