I was thinking about saints and goddesses, and came across an article on living goddesses “The Kumari”meaning virgin or unmarried girl) she is dressed in the finery of the goddess. She may leave her residence- the kumari Chen- only to attend festivals a dozen times a year, when her feet must not touch the ground: she is carried around by attendants and transported in a palanquin. When she shows signs of reaching puberty and before she begins showing any signs of menstruation, her role as goddess is deemed complete. She is returned to her family and another child is chosen to take her place.
This Image was achieved by using hula hoops painted with glow in the dark paint . At the time I was thinking of fallen angels, and Pope Joan, by using the two Halos the smaller halo depicts the child she allegedly gave birth to.
More ramblings…
The shape of the classic halo is obviously a circle, and in Paganism, a circle represents the spiritual idea of ritual and the divine (in that the divine has no beginning or end).
Pagan Worship is mainly concerned with the honoring of Immanent divinity. The rituals are akin to a symbolic language of communication between the human and the divine , one which speaks not to the intellect alone but also to the body, the emotions, and to the depths of the human mind, allowing pagans to experience the sacred as whole people within the act of worship.
Another Image relating to my spiritual light project. This image was inspired by the light streaming through a church window , I used the dark space at uni using a light and cling film.
