| Gaia Goddess Garden Carving Sculpture carved in driftwood |
This carved, driftwood pole is a representation of Gaia who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her
fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must
return after their allotted span of life is over, their energy and compounds
retaken and reprocessed into another life, be it sentient or not.
The Goddess’s core is starting to deteriorate
and decay but two small trees have sprouted from her crown. This art piece will
slowly rot, the encapsulated energy in her wooden rings will change and be
recycled into fresh life, representing the cyclic nature of birth, life and
death, that is constant for all things, here on our green and blue planet.
* She has been left unsanded, rough and jagged to represent the wild,
untamable way of Nature.
* Her belly has a spiral on it, representing the female powers of life and fertility.
Spirals are primal, raw, and unrestrained power and growth.
*A blue Apatite gemstone is embedded into her brow. Associated with the
Third Eye Chakra, the gateway that
leads to the inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. To know that all
things are connected on our planet, is to be enlightened. May all people know
this.
*Her crown is made up of three Celtic tree branches, Willow(healing and
ability to adapt to changes), Rowan(protection and healing) and Birch(strength,
new beginnings and protection). May Mother Nature adapt and grow stronger.
*Adorning the crown are Chevron Amethyst and Quartz crystals which are
associated with the Crown Chakra(spiritual connection to the seen and unseen forces/energies)
and a Willow fork in the center representing, a portal between the different
dimensions of physical and ethereal existence. They represent our ability to
expand our minds and beliefs beyond our current ones. May we all learn and
evolve into better beings.
