Correspondences

We went to the Nelson Art Gallery.

Our gallery is world reknown for it's Chinese Art collection.

Many times it was mentioned in this gogreous book.

                                           I am studying the Asian way in January.


                                                           I went looking for Kuan Yin.

My porceline statues are not as exquisite as those at the gallery but I love mine.

I am looking for the Goddess.

I was raised with Mary, Mother of God.
I know her.

  In my book "Sacred Symbols"
Mary is known by many names.

She is human and becomes divine like the Bodhisattvas
in Buddhism.

I was raised with these myths.

I did not know about Lady Day.
I am adding March 25th to my March special days.
I will do some research and see how this day is celebrated.
Perhaps there are Lady Day cakes.
I wrote about this in my journal.
For now my Goddess is Mary and
Quan Yin.
I love them both.

I finished reading
"Traveling with Pomegrantes."
Sue Kidd is searching for the Goddess too.

I found a book at the used bookstore.
It spoke to me.

I did not know my lists were correspondences.

I have been creating my own for years.
Now I am creating a correspondance for my Archetypes.

I will add to my lists as I learn about each Archetype.

I have stamps of the symbols of the zodiac.

I will learn what these symbols mean.

I think they are old correspondences.

I want to learn how to draw Mandalas.
I know these as the Flower of Life.
I do not know the history.

At the Gallery I saw fantastic ancient artifacts

of the Chinese Scholar.

I do not know the face of my

Scholar.

I am searching.

I saw this magnificent Scholar's writing desk

and this Scholar's box.

I can just imagine what once was in it.

I shall gather my pens and ink into a lovely box.

I would love to make ink like the ancients did.

I read how they took soot and water from their rice cooking and pine sap

mixed together and made a paste.

They would mold the paste into cakes or sticks.

I have been reading about the symbols in ancient China.

I have a few stamps and chops.

When I was very young my Grandmother sent me a picture of St. Ann.

She is the Mother of Mary.

She is my patroness.

I am gathering my icons.

I am seeing the face of the Goddess.

Sometimes she has a lotus blossom

and sometimes she has a halo of stars

and a crescent moon.

I wrote in my Goddess correspondence

"Bee".

Athena is associated with the bee.

I wonder if Mary like the bee?
