HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

History of Halloween

The Festival of Halloween is a celebration of the end of the fertile period of the Celtic Goddess Eiseria. It is said that when Eiseria reaches the end of her fertile cycle the worlds of the dead and the living interlap. This happens on October 31. Masks are worn to show respect for the Goddess Eiseria who, like most Celtic deities, does not wish to be seen with human eyes. The day also proceeds All saints day, which was at first the celebration of the start of a new cycle of fertility for the Celtic Goddess Eiseria. Couples incapable of producing children thus tried their luck on All saints day.

I haven't been on my computer for ages the weather has turned into Summer and I have been enjoying the sun and getting into my painting and cooking.

On Monday we went and had lunch at Cracked Pepper and while we were there I asked them if they wanted to change their art work, they were dead keen. So we came back pick a few pieces and went back and changed their atmosphere. I have organised to rotate the art on a regular bases. I think Rere, Stefano and I have found a place to have the 'Our Love' exhibition.
When we were walking to have lunch a green rubbish truck went through the lights and knocked the lights off with a big bang. It gave use a hell of a fright when we saw things flying all over the place. We were lucky that we didn't get hit by any of it and if it didn't happened we wouldn't have gone to Cracked Pepper for lunch and my paintings would be still in storage here. Everything happens for a reason.

I went out to the beach with Ralph yesterday and I ended up taking photos of a dead goat. I don't know why I like taking photos of dead things?
I have uploaded my favourite dead animal photo I took when I visited my Friend Mara. Her man is a hunter and hangs all his heads on a tree which I found fascinating and took about 50 photos of them all.

I had a day of people yesterday. I called into see Ness, Carolyn and tried to catch up with Rere but it didn't happen. The kids came up and I made them cheese puff and they sat around playing the playstation, it was nice to see them laughing and having fun! I'm going to paint Ness a family portrait and was thinking about it while they were here, I will wait until she has had her next baby.

Yesterday was 3 years since my Gran died and I love and miss you Gran.

My message for the day was: It is easier to hear us when you are alone, especially when you are in a natural setting.
It's another beautiful day here in Wanganui! I wounder what the day will bring? CANDY hahaha. I might see if the kids want to go trick and treating tonight? Oh I love being a kid! I so enjoyed having a massive flower fight the other night with the kids!

Good-Bye Summer Family Ritual

For the past week I have been feeling the shift of seasons from summer into autumn. This has motivated me to c lean out closets, freshening up our home, make this summer photo collage, and created a family ritual. I find ritual really powerful it allows you the time to honour what has come before, say goodbye, and create intentions for what will come next. I've been poking around the internet and have found interesting articles on family summer rituals. Here are some of the suggestions I have read… Summertime is full of outdoor pursuits, so adding the outdoors into your ritual fits perfectly. Preserve summer fruits for the chilly months ahead. Engage in cooking or baking with summer ingredients. Shared a meal of seasonal food. Press summer flowers or herbs in books. Create a memory book of the past summer with photographs, ticket stubs, memorabilia, quotes, family jokes, poem, or anything else that reminds the family of fun times. Create a summer nature journal, detailing a

Every artist should own a copy of that book!  I was talking to a friend yesterday and she wanted me to order her a box of encaustic wax. I haven't done any encasutic for such a long time, so today was the day to dust off the cobwebs and get melting.  Here are my 2 creations for the day...
