"Return of the Divine Feminine"

“Return of the Divine Feminine”

The Divine Feminine is the principle that lives within us all aside from gender. This archetype can manifest in multiple ways ranging from the all-nurturing-Divine Mother, which is its most common association, swinging all the way to a merciless and sometimes castrating overpowering force.

This painting is in reference to Ayahuaska, Natém, Santo Daime or Yajé which  is revered by pre-Columbian Amazonian people as the most self-revealing sacred plant medicine of all, and considered to be an entity of Female Nature often referred to as the "Grandmother", or the “Queen of the Forest".

Throughout time and throughout the Americas, sacramental participation has allowed the human consciousness to interact with plant consciousness allowing the psyche to unfold and also to confront the false ego. This medicine is here to assist human evolution into higher realms of existence in close empathic communion with the Earth.

This painting came about in an attempt to document the state in which one often finds oneself during this sacrament. Ayahuaska as a woman in a deep state of surrender to her own divinity. This image has also been associated with the crowning of the baby during birth, and it has assisted many women in their birthing process.
