Many ancient cultures recognize the Goddess in a triple form,
Greek, Roman, and Celtic to name a few. The concept of the Triple
Goddess is a representation of the divine feminine reflecting three
phases of a womans' life, Maiden, Mother and Crone. In the form of the
Triple Goddess, the feminine principal is celebrated in all three
forms, each equal in importance, and each with an significant part to
play in the cycle of the year, as well as the cycles of the moon.
The Maidens' season is the spring, her color is white, her phase of
the moon is the new, waxing crescent smiling down in the early evening
sky. She is new beginnings and possibilities, she is the awakening
earth, fresh and new. The Mother is the growing bounty of the earth,
the height of summer and the early harvest. Her color is crimson to
represent the womb from which all life is born. She is seen in the
full round moon high in the sky. The Mother is nurturing and
encompassing, she is powerful and giving. She protects her own like a
mother bear. The Crones' time of the year is the end of the growth
cycle, when the leaves turn, then fall, and the earth sleeps deep in
winter. Her phase of the moon is the waning moon that you may see
rising in the eastern sky very late in the night. Her color is black,
protecting and deflecting negativity. This Grandmother figure brings
wisdom and teachings, she is tough yet reserved, she takes all that
dies into her cauldron of rebirth to be born again.
All three Goddess archetypes are known individually, but when the
three aspects come together in the triple form, their power
multiplies. She reminds us of the beauty of all the parts of life and
the cycles of the earth.

"Brighid"
11"x17"
This ancient Celtic Goddess known as Brighid, (Brigit, Brid, Bride,
etc...) is beloved to Ireland and the British Isles, as the keeper of
the home's hearth, patroness of healing, smith craft, fertility,
poetry, and midwifery. Legend says that when she was born at sunrise,
a tower of flame reached from the top of her head to the heavens. Her
birth is said to have given the family house the appearance of being
on fire. The household fire is sacred to Brighid, and each evening the
woman of the house would smoor the fire, (cover it over to keep the
fire overnight)' asking for the protection of Brighid on all its
occupants.
Brighid's festival is Imbolc, or Candlemas and falls on February 2,
and is the in between time after the winter solstice and before the
spring equinox. It is the time the very first signs of impending
spring become apparent, as the ewes and cows come into milk and
prepare to give birth. This festival is usually celebrated by keeping
a flame burning in the home, either in the fireplace or with candles
to honor this fire Goddess, and invite her to bestow blessings upon
the home. Traditional foods served during this time include dairy
items such as milk and cheese. Many Irish households proudly display a
Brighid's Cross, an ornament made of rushes and hung in the home for
protection, and to honor Brighid.
She is one of the best historic examples of the survival of a
Goddess in Christian records. During the time when Christianity moved
into Celtic areas, her followers refused to give up their worship of
Brighid, so the Church had no choice but to bring her into their fold
by making her a saint. The most popular folk tale being that she was
midwife to the Virgin Mary, and thus was always invoked and prayed to
by woman in labor. There had been a shrine dedicated to the Goddess
Brighid at Kildare, Ireland with a Perpetual Flame tended by 19 virgin
priestesses called Daughters of the Flame. Their tradition was that
each day a different Priestess was in charge of the Sacred Fire and on
the 20th day of each cycle, the fire was miraculously tended by
Brighid herself. When Catholicism took over Ireland, the Shrine became
a convent and the virgin priestesses became nuns, but the same
traditions held, and the Eternal Flame was kept burning. For over a
thousand years, the Sacred Flame was tended by nuns, and no one knows
how long before that it was kept by the priestesses.

"Rhiannon"
11"x17"
acrylic and Berol Prismacolor
Pencils on Illustration board
Rhiannon is a Welsh Goddess, she is also known as Epona, Macha,
Rigatona and The Great Queen. She is a Mare Goddess as well as a
Goddess of birds. She hails from the otherworld known as Anwynn and is
often connected to the Fey. Her stories are told in the ancient book
of Celtic mythology known as The Mabinogin. The tale leads the reader
through her courtship, during which she displays her intellectual
prowess and ability to get exactly what she wants. Her Wedding tells
us of her great generosity. Later in her story, she meets with tragedy
and suffers humiliation, which she bears with great dignity and grace.
She eventually overcomes her tragedy with great triumph.
The Mare Goddess has been a very important figure in history,
evidenced by the many statues of her that have been unearthed, as well
as the amazing monument of the great White Chalk Horse carved into the
side of a hill in Uffington. The horse culture advanced the people
with the ability to travel farther, and their use in warfare as seen
in the Goddesses aspect of Macha. In much later times the horse was
used in agriculture and therefore was a bringer of abundance.
Rhiannon is sometimes accompanied by magical birds that sang so
sweetly that they lulled the living to sleep and could wake the dead
to repeat their tales. She has been described as wearing a dress of
gold and riding a white mare that, while seeming to run at a normal
pace, can not be overtaken by the fastest horse. The trick to catching
up with her is deceivingly simple, merely ask her to stop, and she
will tell you that you would have saved your horse the strain if you
had asked her sooner.

Freya, of the Vanir branch of deities, is the Norse Goddess of love
and of war. In addition to her association with sexuality and marriage
corresponding with Aphrodite and Venus, she is also known as a seer
and the Queen of the Valkyries. The Valkyries were spirit women who
would fly over the battlefield on horses choosing the bravest of
warriors' souls to bring back Valhalla to spend eternity with Odin.
Freya as Queen of the Valkyries chose half of the warriors to join her
at her hall. She is also a Goddess of magic and divination
She is often depicted either riding a boar, or driving a chariot
driven by two cats. Freya owned the precious Brisinga-men's necklace,
which she acquired by trading four nights of her love to the the
dwarves who owned it. The necklace was sought after in several tales,
just as was Aphrodities famous girdle. This necklace is believed by
some to embody her power over the material world; an emblem of the
earth-goddess since the earliest times. It is said that her shed tears
turned to amber or gold. She also had in her possession a cloak of
feathers which allowed her to change into a falcon and travel between
the worlds. As the embodiment of the holy life force, she was the one
who brought magic to the Aesir, a later branch of Gods.
Friday is named for Freya. Fridays magical correspondence is love
and beauty. She is seen here driving her chariot with her two cats and
casting flowers as a blessing from her hand, the snow is receding and
love eminates from the great Viking Goddess. My thanks to Nordic
beauty Carrie for posing for this work.

"Faerie Guide"
11"x17" Acrylic wash & Berol
Prismacolor Pencils
There are many legends surrounding the Fey, or Faeries. In ancient
(and not so ancient) times people had many names for them, Daoine
Sidhe, Good Neighbors, The Gentry, People of Peace, Twlwyth Teg, and
the People of the Hills to name a few. Faeries lived in lochs, lakes,
and faerie hills below the earth. These enigmatic spirits were often
associated with the Tuatha De Dannon, a mysterious tribe that came to
Ireland long before the Druids were in power.
It is considered wise to regard them with respect, as they are
protectors of the land. They enjoy an occasional offering of bread or
milk. It is believed that unseen faeries can be made visible by
looking through a stone with a natural hole in it. Many a light bulb
has blown due to the dancing feet of a slightly mischievous faerie.
They love music.
My lovely youngest daughter modeled for me. This faerie is a
friendly guide of the Tuatha. She is clever, witty, and a fine
tracker. She can guide any who wish to follow on a shamanic journey to
the land of the Fey. Her season is Summer, her friends are the
fireflies, and her spirit is laughter.

"The Lunar Eclipse"
11"x17"
acrylic and Berol Prismacolor
Pencils on Illustration board
In December of 1999 there was a total eclipse of the moon that
appeared in the sky here in the Midwest. It was beautiful! It is quite
amazing to watch a lunar eclipse because you can observe something
very similar to the phases of the moon, unfolding over merely a period
of hours, instead of the month as usual. I say similar, because it
looks different somehow, the dark section isn't black, but an
otherworldly color, sometimes gray sometimes a brownish-maroon, and
the shadow is different, not a sharp edge, but a bit fuzzy.
It's easy to believe that an eclipse was considered supernatural
long ago. As I watched this heavenly show unfolding before my eyes, I
explained to my daughters that it was the shadow of the earth passing
across the full moon. Gazing up at the almost totally masked moon, in
my mind's eye, I saw the spirit of the Moon Goddess, pulling her dark
cloak around her, amusing herself with a celestial game of hide and
seek.
I kept this picture in my head for 9 months until I finally put it
to paper, it had aged to perfection. It was completed on a full moon
night the following August. A lunar eclipse can bring about change, it
is a good time for letting go of the past and unveiling something new
in your life before you. It is a time of blessings and wonder.

"The Solar Eclipse"
11"x17"
acrylic and Berol Prismacolor
Pencils on Illustration board
In ancient times a solar eclipse was considered a very powerful
omen. It is a very unearthly feeling as anyone can attest who has
witnessed it. The sky turns a unreal dark shade, the birds and insects
stop making any sound. As the dark lady moon passes in front of her
consort, the sun, the shadows that the leaves cast upon the ground all
become little crescents, mirroring the event unfolding above. It is a
moving event, even if it is only a partial eclipse, all of life seems
to hold its breath in awe nervously until the sun is full and bright
again. During a full eclipse, stars can even be seen.
Of course, in these modern times eclipses solar or lunar are
scientifically explained. We know the earth casts a shadow across the
moon during a lunar eclipse, and the moon passes between the earth and
the sun during a solar eclipse. But these explanations don't really
take away any of the magic or awe, just observe one of these celestial
events and you'll probably agree. If we see the moon as being a
representative of the Lady and the Sun a representative of the Sun
God, then their meeting in the sky, however brief, must be a symbolic
meeting of the two. A celebration of the joyous reunion of the two who
circle each other in the sky.

"Dancing the Circle"

Acrylic wash & Berol
Prismacolor pencils
On the hilltops in the British Isles you can still see bonfires
burning joyously away on Beltane or May Day, May 1st. Beltane is still
celebrated as it has been throughout the ages as a fertility festival
by farming communities in olden times. The awakening of the land was
very important when peoples existence relied upon it in order to reap
a good harvest in the fall. It is traditional not only to dance around
a maypole and weave colored ribbons about the pole, but also to dance
around, between, or leap over bonfires. This is for purification after
the long winter.
As the celebrants dance about the circle, sparks of energy that
they have raised with their jubulant dance flow about the circle like
fireflies. They are all dressed differently, representing different
backgrounds and traditions, but come together in the circle in
fellowship. One woman has donned faerie wings, a reminder that the
first of May is a day of much faerie activity. The drummer keeps time
and one man plays lilting airs on a flute.
We are a circle, within a circle, with no beginning, and never
ending.

"Heal the Earth"

acrylic and Berol
Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board
Our earth is our mother, too often we see the burdens
that our society has placed on her and the ill effects they
have on the environment. We must all do what we can to help
protect our planet by treating her with loving care and
being responsible for how we use and reuse the resources she
provides us with. She gives us life, energy, and many gifts
unnumbered. Many Pagans feel the responsibility so deeply
that in addition to the things that we can all do to help
our earth, they also send healing spiritual energy to the
planet. People of many faiths often send prayers to the
earth.
The girl in "Heal the Earth" has sent healing energy into
the crystals that she plants in the earth. This energy is
sent through concentration and love. She is surrounded by
spirits representing the four elements. A Sylph or fairy of
the air hovers in great interest over her right shoulder. A
fish-tailed Nymph from a nearby pond brings water as a
symbol of healing and love. An earth Gnome rests comfortably
near the spade used to gently part the soil. A nearby
Salamander supplies energy. Salamanders were considered fire
spirits due to the fact that in ancient times they would
hide in logs, and appear scampering away when the fire was
lit.
"I call upon the Universal Power that flows through
everything.
My Earth, my Mother is in need, I bring to her this
healing deed.
By warming sun and cooling breeze,
To ancient mountains, towering trees,
To mysterious oceans pulled by the moon,
To fertile soil from which life blooms.
I send to her loving energy, healing power, so mote it
be!"

"The Thin Veil"
11"x17"
acrylic and Berol
Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board
Many people believe that things that remain unknown to us
in our everyday lives can be accessed through the methods of
divination. These events unseen do exist, and you only need
a way to tap into the world that is beyond the veil that
separates our existence from the next. Almost everyone has
at one time or another known who was on the other end of the
ringing phone, (without looking at caller ID) or had a
"feeling" about driving a different way than usual only
later to discover that you avoided an accident on your
normal route. How many times have you said before, "I knew
it, I just knew it!" without any physical or practical way
of having such knowledge, just intuition. Everyone can use
these extra senses, you just have to be open to them, some
people control these senses by methods of divination.
The woman is dressed in a green robe, symbolic of this
world and surrounded by purple, symbolic of the next. Her
divination tools are spread out before her, crystal ball,
runes, tarot cards, a pendulum. A stone goblet of water is
symbolic of the Goddess' association with intuition. Incense
smoke drifts from a tiny cauldron and a candle nestled in an
amethyst cluster adds to the vibrations that are just right
for divination, as well as her amethyst ring that helps her
attune with the next world.
This piece was created for the fourth issue of the U.K.s
Witchcraft and Wicca's magazine cover. It was a Samhain
issue, (pronounced Sow-wen) also known as Halloween. This is
the time when the veil between the worlds are at its
thinnest, and communication is easiest. Faerie magician Gia
modeled for this one, a dear friend from my days with Clan

"Daughter of the Nile" By Mickie
Mueller

acrylic wash & Berol Prismacolor Pencils
on illustration board
"The people of ancient
Egypt hold a mysterious fascination for me. Their culture
was an enigma to us for so long until the discovery of the
Rosetta Stone and the much later deciphering of it. Through
the ability to translate the hieroglyphics, we have learned
much about their culture, there is a even a modern revival
of the ancient Egyptian religion. There is still much debate
about other subjects like the age of the Sphinx and the
climate of Egypt when it was built. Some people theorize
that the Pyramids were never tombs, as we have previously
believed, leaving us wondering even more.
The Daughter of the Nile is
also a mystery. Her eyes are lowered leaving us little
insight into her nature. She is the feminine spirit Egypt,
her thin garb and plaited hair swirl around her in the dry
desert air. She could be a mere woman, priestess, or a
Goddess (is there really a difference?!) She owes her
existence to the great Nile, the river from where all life
in Egypt flowed. She is illuminated from the side, only
partially in the shadow, revealing some secrets while
keeping others safely guarded. Consider this, The Pharaohs
believed that by the practice of mummification and the magic
writing of their priests on tomb walls they would achieve
immortality. Through these things, as discovered through
modern archeology, they have."

"Cernunnos in
Repose" By Mickie Mueller
11"x17"
Acrylic wash & Berol
Prismacolor pencils
"Cernunnos is a very
ancient Celtic God of nature. He rules over the forests and
the beasts and is also represented by the sun. He is often
referred to as the 'horned one' or 'lord of the animals'
Cernunnos was the God of the hunt, and is also associated
with the ecological balance of the land and the harvest of
wild game.
One of the oldest
representations of him that exists is on The Gundestrup
Cauldron, an artifact from the first century. He was a icon
of masculine principals and fertile land. The early
Christian church, in an effort to stamp out Paganism
condemned Cernunnos to be used as a representation of the
devil to discourage the popularity of the Forest God among
the Celts. He is usually depicted sitting cross legged or
lotus position. Some conjectured that this was evidence to
eastern influence on early Celtic society, while others
believe that it was just as likely to merely be comfortable
position for early hunters to sit, yet remain alert.
I have shown him here
resting, at peace with nature. he is attended by the stag,
boar, fox and badger. On the stone slab where he peacefully
meditates are found pine cones and acorns which are
associated with the God. The sun shines through the trees
upon the shoulders of the Goddesses' divine consort. This
place actually exists, it's at a creek near the home I lived
in at the time this piece was created."

A place outside of a place, a time outside time, the
world that we travel in dreams and meditation is as real as

change in yourself from this place of meditation as you can
in the physical world. Sometimes the journey within is just
as important as the journey without.
In this place, this traveler has created a world in her
minds eye. We see pieces of earth free floating and
unconnected to each other. A sacred spring wells up at the
feet of a goddess figure. The tree of life appears before
her with the light of truth shining from behind. Paths
float, and can be chosen, or not. The traveler passes along,
deep in meditation, a light scarf serving as a connection
between the worlds. This is a place of safety and
introspection. White doves pass far off in the distance,
spiritual guides, there to assist if called upon.

"Violet Faerie"

The Violet Faerie can be found hovering above the grass
or in shady groves where violets bloom in the spring. She is
the guardian of the violet flowers and carries within her
essence the magical energies and spiritual vibrations that
the tiny purple flowers do. If you ask her permission before
you gather the first violet you see in the spring, she may
grant you a wish. Be sure to thank her if your wish is
granted by leaving a new penny for the violet plant, or
better yet, a small fertilizer spike. If you can coax her to
appear to you she may be useful in healing a headache or
dizziness. If you are feeling temperamental and having
trouble sleeping, meditate upon the Violet Faerie and she
will soothe your mind and bless you with sweet dreams.
Her delicate wings spread out behind her as she slowly
moves her wand through the softly scented air. The crystal
tip glows slightly within the crescent moon wand which
mirrors the violets' association with lunar aspects and
water. She waits tentatively to see if you will speak with
her, or if you will move too quickly and never get the
chance.
My charming teenage friend Erin was the model for this
piece, very much a young fey herself. The wand looks very
much like her own made of copper and crystal. You can also
see this young high school athlete lending her likeness to
The Maiden Huntress.

The Greenman is commonly seen as garden ornaments, and architectual
detail throughout the ages. His lovely leafy countenance is a
recurring theme in medieval art and decoration. You will even see him
decorating many old churches and cathedrals. But the origins of
Greenman are very deep and far reaching. He is a representation of the
spirit of nature, of the forest and of the growing seasons. He is also
known as Jack-in-the-Green, or The Man in the Oak. His spirit protects
the trees and growing things in wild places. Greenman is the joyous
and laughing God of growth and woods.
Greenman is an excellent spirit to call upon for assistance when
you are looking for prosperity and abundance. He also represents
renewal and the endless ability for life to find a way. When you spy
some green leaves pushing their way through cracks in the concrete,
this is the strength of Greenman at work.
When you are walking in the woods, you may spy him, if for only an
instant peering through the trees at you. Look again, no, it's only
the leaves moving just right...or is it? I have seen him many times in
my minds eye while spending time in wild places. You will know he is
there by the warm safe feeling you will feel, as long as you are
showing respect for his realm.

"Beltane Grove"
11"x17"
acrylic wash with Berol
Prismacolor on Illustration board
Beltane is an ancient holiday that is still celebrated in many
parts of the world. Beginning on the eve of May Day, it marks the
bright half of the year. The festival is named after the Celtic God,
Belenos, who is a Sun diety. At this time of the year cattle were
driven between bonfires for purification and fertility, in parts of
Europe you can still see bonfires atop the hills at Beltane.
The celebration of Beltane is one of fertility and ensuring that
the eventual harvest will be abundant. A springtime "greening" ritual,
dancing around the Maypole, honors the female and male principles of
regeneration and creation. The May Queen and King represent the
Goddess and God.
This is a depiction of "The Great Rite", a beautiful symbolic
ritual celebrating the joining of the God and Goddess. Priest and
Priestess met in a quiet grove on a joyful Beltane evening. The
chalice represents the life-waters of the Goddess, the blade
represents the vitality of the God. When the two combine, the land is
fertile and green. Some modern versions of this ritual have the roles
reversed, with the Priestess presenting the chalice and the Priest the
athame or blade. The version shown here is very old, going back to the
roots of ritual nature worship in Europe, and points to the duality of
man and woman, for each of us has both masculine and feminine aspects
to ourselves. This piece was created for the good people at Children
of Artemis (U.K.) for their third issue of Witchcraft & Wicca
Magazine. It appeared on the cover of that issue.

"Winter Solstice"
11"x17"
"Winter Solstice is the longest night
of the year,circa December 21. It was also called Alban Arthuan by the
Druids and is celebrated as Yule by modern earth-nature based
religions such as Wicca. It is traditionally the time of rebirth of
the Sun God, for after Yule, the sun remains progressively longer in
the sky every day until the Summer Solstice.
The rituals of Yule usually include fire , whether a
candle or small bonfire, or even a fireplace that burns all the long
night and keeps vigil until the dawn. Gifts are exchanged and trees
are decorated with natural ornaments. Traditional fare is nuts,
apples, oranges, cakes soaked in cider, and pork for non-vegetarians.
If you see similarities between Yule and Christmas, you're right.
Remember that most Biblical scholars agree that the celebrated day of
Christs' birth was placed near the Solstice as an effort by Emperor
Constantine to convert members of the Cult of Mithras, another Sun
God, to Christianity. No matter what you call Him, or Her, we are all
the Creators children.
This is my representation of what a solitary Wiccan
Yule ritual might look like celebrated by a lone practitioner
somewhere in the British Isles or perhaps Ireland. She toasts the
return of the sun after a long night vigil at the fire. The 'bubble'
represents clarity of vision, and the sharp and singular appearance of

"The moon has great energies, love,

emotions with it's cycles. The full moon is a time when it's energy
and magnetic pull is at it's pinnacle.
It is this time when the energy of
the moon may be called upon to grant our dearest desires. She stands
before the open sky, her blade held aloft as if an etheric lightning
rod, and she draws the energy of the Goddess within her, that she
might discover some ancient secret wisdom, lost long ago. The waves
break on the rocks below and a gentle breeze dances through her hair
as she becomes one with the Moon Goddess, in a communion of spirit.
The candles flicker only slightly and the sounds of nature are heard

"Goddess Ostara"
11x14
acrylic and Berol Prismacolor pencils on Illustration board
The Goddess
Ostara’s (Eostre’s) celebration day can vary from the spring
equinox (circa March 21) to the first
full moon after the
equinox. She is the Anglo-Saxon / Germanic Goddess of new
beginnings, fertility, hope and
renewal. It is a time of
balance between day and night. Her symbols include the hare,
colored eggs, spring
flowers, in older times celebrants wore
brand new clothing to celebrate her festival. Does this all
sound
familiar? It should, the symbolism and even the name of Ostaras / Eostre’s festival were adopted by the Christian
celebration of Easter which also celebrates renewal and
rebirth. One should note, that the holiday of Easter moves
every year.
It always falls on the first Sunday after the first
full moon after the Spring Equinox.
Ostara is an
interesting Goddess because she is considered a Maiden Goddess
but instead of a new crescent,
uses full moon energy. This
makes sense if we consider that she is the Goddess who fires up
all the growth in
the spring. Physics teaches us that an object
at rest, tends to stay at rest, it takes more energy to begin
momentum that continue it. Consider the seed sleeping beneath
the earth or the bud tightly wrapped on a tree
branch. It’s
like when the alarm goes off while you are snug under your
blankets; the hardest part is just getting
up and moving, and it
takes a lot of energy to get started. That may explain a Maiden
with full moon energy.
This dynamic
Lady of spring has also had the female hormone Estrogen named
after her. Bursting full of the
power of femininity as well as
regeneration, she takes the relay of life firmly in hand as the
Crone has passed it
to her from the underworld. As we note the
sprouts, buds and blossoms bursting forth from the deep dark
earth,
take a moment to thank Ostara.
