a Digital Alchemy Collage Altar Card
by Shelley Sophia Crawford

8×8inch Square Laminated Altar Card

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.
