ON THE COVER
"Goddess of Awakening"
by Bettina Madini

I am glad to be featured on the cover of the Monthly Aspectarian, a Lightworker Magazine from the Chicago area, with my painting "Goddess of Awakening". Please, read below.

"This painting has a very rich symbolism referring to depictions of the Goddess in ancient cultures. The center of the painting is the Goddess, here depicted as Kwan Yin. She is the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion.

The goddess is seated on her throne made from ancient stone. The waters underneath the throne are the “Waters of Life” and symbolize the continuous flow of life and the final healing of the emotions. The dragonfly is a symbol for transformation and the magic in life, the miracle that happens in the Now. The twinkling lights of its transparent wings symbolize to me delicate strength and transparent power. The material world, symbolized by the jewels above the Goddess, is breaking apart and the light is beaming through. From the ‘I AM Presence’ or the Higher Self emanates the droplet as the symbol for the moment of awakening or self realization."
