Digital Alchemy Collage Altar Card
by Shelley Sophia Crawford

6×6inch Square Laminated Altar Card

Description: This image is inspired by the elements of the lands where I lived for 2.5 years on the small island of Gozo, located in the Mediterranean Sea. Close to my house was a chapel dedicated to Stella Maris, Star of the Sea, where Mary is honoured as a guiding light and a protectress for fishermen and people of the Sea.

Her energy rising from the earth, emanates love in an upward sweep, as the magical hands of an elemental pour forth pearls of wisdom. This image is about the fundamental connection between the elements, the planet itself, and the profound connection Mary holds for us. Encouraging us to stand rooted where we are, as we weather the storms of life and clear days.

Affirmation: Feet rooted on the Earth, energy rising, I illuminate my life with wisdom, faith and love. I am in the mother, and the mother is in me.
