Mother of life

Mother of the seas

Mother of the skies above

Holy Mother Earth



By your grace do we live our mortal lives

By your grace the Gods fill the void with their power

By your grace children are born and grow

Fed by the riches of your very flesh



May we be blessed by your gifts

The bread we bake

The water we drink

The air we breathe

The love we share one with another



Blessed Mother of all things

May my words please you

Queen of Heaven

Daughter of Kronos

Keeper of oaths

Avenger of wrongs



Let us lift up your name in praise and respect for in it is a reminder of your divine authority and power

Let us remember always the oaths and vows we make for in them are promises to you

Let us be as you would have us be, a people of honest discourse and keepers of the truth



Queen of Heaven

Daughter of Rhea

Mother of war

Mother of toil



Let us not be wronged by the lies of others so that our faith in them be justified

Let us not fall prey to the whims of liars so that we may honor you with fidelity

Let us not become that which you hate most so that we may be forever in your good graces



Queen of Heaven

Wife of turbulent Zeus

Goddess of righteous vengeance

Lady of the throne

5 years ago, I started compiling my journal entries in what would become a study of nature spirituality through four seasons and a memoir.

Behind me, 30 years of Ahead, my life-changing relationship with the Morrigan

My journal entry for today's date in that year described an encounter with a crow, which I now recognise as the Great Queen inviting me to meet her, learn about her, and eventually dedicate myself to her.

Thank you, my Goddess. I love you.

As an author and artist, I'm a small business trying to make my way in the crowded marketplace. Once a week I share one of my creations with you. Maybe one of them will ring your chimes. Up this week: Labrys & Horns, the how-to guide for inclusive Minoan spirituality. Meet the deities, set up an altar, invite their energies into your life, do some sacred crafts and other fun stuff. Ariadne, Dionysus, Rhea, the Minotaur, Therasia and so many others await you...

A paperback copy of Labrys and Horns: An Introduction to Modern Minoan Paganism by Laura Perry stands on sparkling golden sand. The book has a light aqua cover with an image of a labrys standing between the points of a pair of sacred horns. The book is surrounded by snippets of text that are connected to the book by arrows. The text reads, "Minoan deities, inclusive spirituality, make an altar, rituals, sacred calendar, devotionals."

«Quiero el rostro de doncella y el cuerpo de ave, como escribió Virgilio sobre las arpías, con "manos que se hacen garras". Quiero la lujuria y la repulsión. Quiero tener una carcasa de porcelana y ser un amasijo de carne. Quiero ser temida y admirada, conjurar la muerte en mi pecho y la vida en mi vientre.»

Extracto de "Me dibujaron así: Por qué el mundo odia la feminidad", de @nlopeztrujillo.

Ilustración representando a una arpía de alas de halcón y abundante cabello negro y rizado, que sostiene un espejo en una de sus garras mientras nos mira gozosa, orgullosa, desmesurada y libre. Telas rojas se entrelazan alrededor de su cuerpo y las alas. La ilustración tiene un estilo de dibujo a tinta, con el rojo como único color de acento.

Praised be Athena, daughter of heaven
Lady of Wisdom and swift action
Moving as the wind from mind to mind
A challenger to ignorance


Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Hephaestus, son of heaven
Lord of smiths and the work of men
Working with strong arms the malleable metal
A shield and a sword against barbarism

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Ares, Son of heaven
Lord of warriors and the bloodshed of the battlefield
Spear in hand piercing the heart of the enemy
A fierce protector of civilization through savagery

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Hermes, son of heaven
Lord of demarcations and borders crossed
Moving along the dark paths between life and death
Gifting humanity with speech and negotiation

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Artemis, daughter of heaven
Lady of stags and the hunters that seek them
Shining like the ghostly light of the moon
Bringing with you honey and safety in childbearing

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Apollo, son of heaven
Lord of wolves and of the northern aurorae
Healing the sick and bringing with you art and music
A shining beacon of reason and health

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Dionysus, son of heaven
Lord of the vine and the drunken prophet
Bringing self realization through inebriation
Giving mankind a means to grow

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Persephone, daughter of heaven
Lady of the sunless world and the Springtime
Bringing hope for the future from the land below
Blessing the land with growth and killing it off again

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

And I've been punished, I've been blessed

Ilustración de Asteria para las guardas de la edición especial limitada y en tapa dura de "Rojo y Oro", completamente revisada y reescrita por sus autoras Iria G. Parente y Selene M. Pascual, que saldrá a la venta de la mano de la editorial Molino el día 20 de octubre.

Ilustración a línea en blanco y negro representando a una mujer joven casi de cuerpo entero, una amazona guerrera. Tiene cabello corto y liso, viste una túnica griega, sandalias y algunas piezas de armadura, y esgrime una espada. Su pose es grácil, pero llena de fuerza, como si luchase bailando, y extiende su brazo libre en un gesto decidido y urgente, como si estuviera intentando agarrar a alguien de la mano. Su cuerpo está surcado de cicatrices. La expresión de su rostro es fiera y angustiada.

Black and white illustration depicting a young woman, an amazon warrior, almost in full body. She has short straight hair and is wearing a Greek tunic, sandals and some pieces of armour, and she is wielding a sword. Her fighting pose is graceful and full of strength, as if she were dancing, and she reaches out with her free arm, determined and urgent, as if trying to grab somebody’s hand. Lots of scars cover her body. Her expression is fierce and anguished.

Witch Tip: You don't have to anthropomorphize Gods or spirits. You can just let them be what they are.

“Both Charlies, Hebdo and Kirk,” writes Lyonel Perabo, “played pretty much the same game: riling up people, both for laughs & to score political points. Kirk’s ideology was rooted in Christian conservatism, while Charlie Hebdo was staffed by left-libertarians. Yet they both met with the same fate: they were murdered because their speech was deemed dangerous.”

I guess it could be translated as : people live in their bubble and only recognise their own. Very common for crooks to try to isolate people from their ref group. Christianity. Many churches were built on top of previous sacred ground. Crooks take on new cloaks every now and then. A good reminder that 'Paganism' existed long before.

Matthew 5:47
"And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?"

¿Os acordáis de “Rojo y Oro”, la novela juvenil gloriosa y terrible escrita por Iria G. Parente y Selene M. Pascual que ilustré hace nueve años?

El día 20 de octubre, saldrá a la venta una edición especial limitada en tapa dura, publicada por Molino. Además de tener mis ilustraciones originales en el interior, las guardas serán dos nuevas obras que he creado con salvaje alegría 🖤

Esta es la primera de ellas, Orión, en su versión en blanco y negro.

#illustration #MastoArt #paganism #mythology

Ilustración a línea en blanco y negro representando a un hombre joven casi de cuerpo entero. Tiene cabello rizado y negro, viste una túnica griega, brazaletes y una corona de laurel, y lleva un puñal en una funda atada a la cintura. Extiende uno de sus brazos en una pose delicada y lánguida, como si estuviera cayendo e intentase agarrar a alguien de la mano. La expresión de su rostro es serena y melancólica.

He reaches out with a delicate gesture, as if he was falling and tried to hold onto somebody’s hand. His expression is calm and melancholic.

Sink your hands into the dirt
Breathe deeply of the sky
Drink the waters of the rivers
Say a prayer of thanks
For these are the fundamentals of existence.
