Spiritual Goddesses
Northern Illinois University Senior Showcase
Artist Statement:
My subject matter is spirituality and its deep inner connection with our natural world. This kinship has a more powerful impact on our lives then what we initially perceive. Women today suffer more than ever from many physical and mental illnesses that require taking a multitude of medications, so they can have some type of relief as to live a normal life. But there is also an increase in today’s society to find more natural ways to help combat these illnesses using herbology, spiritual practices, and Wicca.
My tarot card series, Spiritual Goddesses, outlines two important aspects of a person suffering from these illnesses, the aliment itself and the healing process. The aliment card shows the harsh realities of the mental or physical illness and how at first glance a person can seem to be beautiful and healthy but as you look closer you start to understand that they are not okay. The healing card on the other hand, is the one with all the answers. Every herb or spiritual image within the healing card can be used to help heal someone who is suffering from that aliment in a more natural and holistic way.
My work is targeted to healing my community and finding alternate ways to help others. I am a calm and collective individual who seeks out spiritual guidance in many forms and I hope that these cards help others as they have helped me.
