Remembering all the lovely entires and you charming energies, I chose the first 3 for my Gyspy Priestess page drawing, followed by 3 others for my Goddess of the Gypsy Moon website drawing. Below are the images as I did so. (the heart doodle on Cirene's slip of paper was scribbled early this morning on the tablet.

Maggie Laura McReynolds

Poet Mary Oliver is one of the goddesses whose voice resonates with me:

The Journey

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
... kept shouting
their bad advice--
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do--
determined to save
the only life you could save

Lisbeth Cheever-Gessaman

This was hard, because I am in a very Nerudaesque mood (who also wonderfully embodies the Goddess with every word he breathes on Love).

But hands down, this to me utterly represents the spirit of the Feminine:

““I am an excitable person ...who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
― Anaïs Nin

Nici Tietjen Derosier

Here is my entry...it is a Soul Collage card I made depicting the Goddess...images of Kuan Yin, Nut, the moon, and a the lotus...they all inspire me.

Lyn Thurman

This is something I painted over the weekend and thought it would be perfect for an entry to your contest :-)

I wish to express deep gratitude for every woman who entered this contest and shared in word or image what speaks Goddess to them. We each form a facet of the goddess... May we ever shine bright. 28 November 2011
