Many people believe that things that remain unknown to us in our everyday lives can be accessed through the methods of divination. These events unseen do exist, and you only need a way to tap into the world that is beyond the veil that separates our existence from the next. Almost everyone has at one time or another known who was on the other end of the ringing phone, (without looking at caller ID) or had a "feeling" about driving a different way than usual only later to discover that you avoided an accident on your normal route. How many times have you said before, "I knew it, I just knew it!" without any physical or practical way of having such knowledge, just intuition. Everyone can use these extra senses, you just have to be open to them, some people control these senses by methods of divination. The woman is dressed in a green robe, symbolic of this world and surrounded by purple, symbolic of the next. Her divination tools are spread out before her, crystal ball, runes, tarot cards, a pendulum. A stone goblet of water is symbolic of the Goddess' association with intuition. Incense smoke drifts from a tiny cauldron and a candle nestled in an amethyst cluster adds to the vibrations that are just right for divination, as well as her amethyst ring that helps her attune with the next world. This piece was created for the fourth issue of the U.K.s Witchcraft and Wicca's magazine cover. It was a Samhain issue, (pronounced Sow-wen) also known as Halloween. This is the time when the veil between the worlds are at its thinnest, and communication is easiest. Faerie magician Gia modeled for this one, a dear friend from my days with Clan of the North Star. 11"x17" acrylic and Berol Prismacolor Pencils on Illustration board By Mickie Mueller
