Venus Aphrodite in her celestial realm...

A digital alchemy collage by Artist Shelley Sophia Crawford.

The painting used in this collage is called: Venus of Urbino by Tiziano

“Both the planet Venus and the rose were sacred to the ancient goddesses of old. Isis, Inanna, Ishtar were said to have created the rose giving it shape and form. And hidden within its petals, the goddesses placed their powers over life, death, rebirth, regeneration. “  Quote by Danielle 

I made this collage in honor of the royal sensuous beauty of the feminine body & consciousness which has its roots in the stars, and blossoms in many manifestations of the earth mother. Every woman carries the spark of this divine beauty way within her beingness. Our bodies are sacred expressions of the divine.

I want to honor & celebrate the bold , wild, tender, wise reality of the feminine soul and body.

Wild Woman is a digital alchemy collage by

Shelley Sophia Crawford

I wanted to create an image that celebrated womens wild intrinsic connection with the Living Earth.

and I was inspired by a poem, written By Aisha Wolfe.

“Woman,

You belong to the night.

You have blood on your thighs

and fuhrze in your hair.

You smell of loamy fertile soil.

Your breasts give life,

Your sex is a mystery school

leading to the holy of holies.

Turn your eyes inward,

use owls vision to see where you come from.

Slip beneath the surface,

and feel yourself become full.

Make a marriage to the moon.

Divorce the false gods of intellect and reason.

Find meaning in your dreams

and in the secrets of your body.

Follow no authority -

but your own true nature.

Make a sacred fire

and throw on it all that you

would use to harm yourself.

Make kindling from shame.

Let your dance be wild,

your voice be honest

and your heart untame.

Be cyclical,

don't make sense..

Initiate yourself

Initiate yourself!”

Poem By Aisha Wolfe
