I have to say, that it does bother me that I go to Home Despot and buy "plywood" without thinking about where it comes from. Normally I would not do this - but only for this project - normally I would be using found materials and making do with what I have, but this is to raise money for the Mustangs so I really did not have time to source any found materials when I decided to do this project in November of 2024. I barely had time to figure out how I was going to do it.

It also bothers me to use Acrylic paint because it is derived from the blood of the Earth - OIL which humans are not supposed to touch.

Today I am probably going to Home Despot to get moulding to frame the piece...which bothers me.

I am also in the process of writing a "description of this project" for the Director so she can "market" the artwork.

Jordanna Anawait of Choice Tribe spoke at the Annual Great Escape November Fundraiser.

She spoke for Snowman,a former herd-leader, stallion who lost his eye in the Round Up and of course, was gelded, all on the same day, who told us to walk consciously on the earth paying attention to every step. I took this to heart.

What does this mean exactly? I asked myself.

Waking up to the presence of living nature in your own life.
How to do that?

I took it to mean that I must watch carefully every action that I take, of every moment of the day and night, and ask myself, who is being affected by every decision I make. Every action is a decision and ever action has a cause and an effect and I must analyze every single action and ask myself if I am being harmful or helpful, from the must mundane to the most complex.

I live in a system which is destroying Nature. My actions contribute to this destruction. I am agreeing to it. The plight of the mustang is also my plight.

I am the mustang, and the mustang is me.

The orderfollowers of the nefarious agenda on this planet are rounding me and my family up and stealing our land and enslaving us, jabbing us with toxins and traumatizing us, branding us and torturing us, and we are allowing it.

The mustangs plight is a mirror and I must become more conscious and prayerful in seeking to understand this situation and finding a way out of it before it is too late.

In addition, I must practice Natural Law – treat others the way I would like to be treated. Don’t steal. And do not co-conspire with those who steal through murder, rape, trespass, theft of property. Stand up for principle.

The whirled has it’s focus on “Materialism” – that is the nefarious agenda – cutting us off from Nature. Materialism is about stealing from one another competatively and without attention to our heart and what is right for all concerned. Denial of compassion. It is satanism – meaning – that it promises more than it can deliver – at the expense of freedom.

How do I do what Snowman asked, I asked myself?

I was a month away from the Winter Solstice, which is an extremely powerful time for the Earth itself. The Winter Solstice contains the energy necessary to birth the new year in Nature. Our Gregorian Calendar is for the Solar Cult – the Romans had a Lunar Calendar, and the Druids had an Earth focused Calendar, celebrating our home – Earth. Where we and the Mustangs reside together. How to bring focus back to that? Utilize the Winter Solstice Energies.

I intuited to utilize an ancient tradition of gathering the energy from the Portal of the Winter Solstice for the purpose of carrying out the will of Snowman.

First, I have to become conscious again of every moment and every action. Being so distracted and bombarded by EMF polution and chemtrail polution and Suncor Refinary Polution daily – this might be difficult.

Creativity is of Nature.

We humans are a connector between heaven and earth, between unity and duality. And the so is the Mustang as a mirror and our healers.

An artist has the gift to “draw” down the Aether into matter - wood, paper, using the “medium” of paint, chalk, graphite. To channel those spiritual energies into form – a gift from God – as I am created in His image.

A painting that contains these energies acts as a Portal itself to the viewer. It is a spiritual aid for meditation and works subtly upon the Aura to guide the viewer into alignment with Natural Law.

I look to those who venerate the Earth. The Druids. It was November 2rd.

“Coincidentally”, this was the last day of Samhuinn in the Druidic Traditional Calendar which takes into consideration the Earth’s Rhythm’s.

The veil between this world and the World of the Ancestors, which is the world that Snowman is speaking from, was drawn aside on these nights, and for those who were prepared, journeys could be made in safety to the ‘other side’.

This must have been, inadvertantly, an influence for this project, because I received an intuitive download to apply the Winter Solstice Portal energy while I sat and listened to Jordanna’s talk.

According to the Druids, “ This is the time of death and rebirth. The sun appears to be abandoning us completely as the longest night comes to us. Linking our own inner journey to the yearly cycle, the words of the Druid ceremony ask “Cast away, O wo/man whatever impedes the appearance of light.” In darkness we throw on to the ground the scraps of material we have been carrying that signify those things which have been holding us back, and one lamp is lit from a flint and raised up on the Druid’s crook in the East. The year is reborn and a new cycle begins, which will reach its peak at the time of the Midsummer Solstice, before returning again to the place of death-and-birth.”

The Solstice is the shortest and darkest day in the womb of the following year.

Scientifically - if you care about that (I do not)

The Winter Solstice is a key event in Earth's orbit, marking the shortest day and the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It occurs when the Earth’s axial tilt is farthest from the Sun, and it has a profound connection to Earth's position in space.

The Winter Solstice is an important astronomical event, marking the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and the gradual lengthening of daylight that follows it.
https://druidry.org/druid-way/teaching-and-practice/druid-festivals/the-eightfold-wheel-of-the-year

Samhain (October 31 – November 2): A time of honoring ancestors, and preparing for the winter. The transition between light and dark is significant here, and it marks the start of the Druidic new year.

Imbolc (February 1-2): Celebrating the halfway point between winter and spring, Imbolc honors the awakening of life and fertility.

Spring Equinox (March 21-22): Spring full on.

Beltane (April 30 - May 1): A festival of fertility and fire, marking the start of summer and the blossoming of the natural world.

Summer Solstice (June 21-22): Light is at its maximum, and this is the time of the longest day. This is another very important day with another 11 days of Portal Energy to gather by the Artist.

Lughnasadh (August 1): A harvest festival celebrating the first fruits of the season and a time to give thanks for abundance.

Autumnal Equinox (September 21-22): Harvest time.

This is how the nefarious agenda that is separating us from Nature began it’s progress – by creating a calendar which did not follow the Earth’s Rhythms, but was more about the Solar Cult - the Sun.

The Roman Calendar, which only had 10 months was more closely aligned with the phases of the moon whereas the Gregorian Calendar added 2 months, January and February to more closely align with the Solar Year and the seasons.

The Druidic Way uses a Sun Dial and they are so closely tied to Nature that they know when the holidays are because they watch, listen, smell, feel. I felt this is Snowman’s request – that “we” become more observant of Nature.

Each individual person could do this with the Tree in their backyard. Go hug your tree every day and see what happens to you over the course of a year.
You would begin to follow Snowman’s instructions if you did this. People in the community who have horses and animals, may be more in step, but I live in the city – and so hugging my backyard tree and my cat and dog, daily helps me to receive information from Nature.

The Winter Solstice

**The Artist **gathers the energy from this energy portal of the Winter Solstice. Art created intentionally this way has more power in it than any other art and gives the viewer Spiritual rest. That is a purpose of Art - to give the viewer - spiritual renewal.

In the old days – when we were not bombarded by images constantly, art was for the “common man” – like Van Gogh’s work was for common people to rest and renew their spirit.

It also has gathered the potent vital energy of the Winter Solstice into itself and that energy permeates the interior of the place where the painting is hanging, subtly influencing the viewer through intuitive channels.

This Project:

So, I took Snowman’s message to heart, I drew down the energies from the Aether from December 21 through January 1. Then I used those energy infused elements to create artwork that aligns the viewer with Nature in the image of mustangs - the symbol of freedom, kindness, abundance, and healing.

I make the artwork in alignment with the Moon stages to reintegrate the lunar cycles beginning it on the New Moon and completing it in the last quarter.

According to the Mystical Days instructions and including some mystical teachings of ancient knowledge - Tarot, the Kabbalah, sacred geometry - and Nature Prayers for the Horses and from the Horses to us… I am attempting to make potent work that will bring wildness back into our lives through art and awaken that part of ourselves which has become too civilized.

Rudolf Steiner suggested that, beginning at the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21), these 12 days offer an opportunity for deep reflection and inner transformation, and that each day corresponds symbolically to each month of the coming year. The spiritual themes or meditative content of each day aligns with the 12 months of the year. In addition, I did double Capricorn for the following year’s December-January as a gateway for the new year.

Snowman was talking about us getting back into the rhythm of Earth. So, the Earth is the main focus – represented by the Mustangs, and other planets and constellations represent the Sun and Moon and the planetary influences but mainly, altogether, Natural Influences rather than materialistic influences, bringing that back in to our lives.

January – Capricorn – the piece I am currently working on, with the Full Moon coming up on Monday, January 13-14, made during the lunar cycle, which began December 30th with the New Moon, but incorporating the Astrological sun sign constellation as well as the Sea Goat Image of old, and an image of a horse which emulates that sign.
I will do something special on the piece on Monday honoring the Full Moon - when the culmination of the ideas of this project will be at it's peak... and perfectly timed.

Since I started this project, and I have downloaded all this energy into the house, I have been actively pursuing Energy Medicine upon myself and my husband, using the work of these Masters:

and

I have been having a personal full on deepening of spiritual understanding of Energy since I began working on this project. Wherever I turn, I get another way to look at it and do it.
As I watch the globalists restructure the United States for 15 minute cities using the elements for the Hunger Game Scenario - Fire and Wind and Water - I must find a deeper connection to the Creator. These assholes can't be fought in the physical realm - they must be fought spiritually - and Energy through the Astral Plane is how to do it.

Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth Sign – which means it is a leader, nimble, hard working, creative and visionary but also practical. A rearing stallion came to mind. Ruled by Saturn, the planet of limitation because it is the last planet in our solar system which the ancients could see with the naked eye – therefore it is the “limit”.
