This mystical winged goddess knows her strength. The
subtle horse's head that is seen on the left side under her open wing span symbolizes
power and the ability to be in the physical and nonphysical planes at the same time. To
the left of the horse's head, a challenging face appears, a symbol of fear. The mystical
goddess has confronted her fears and has gained her full strength.
This painting was inspired by a journey the artist took to visit ancient
Celtic mounds. The mounds were deep in thick woods and were once used as fertility rituals
by Celtic women.
