Cianna - The Angel of Creativity

Cianna - Angel of Creative Power

Colored Pencil and Watercolor on Paper - 2014

Open your heart and call on this angel for a spark of inspiration and she will assist you. She may guide you through past experiences, awakening a new insight which leads you to begin an artistic project. She will assist you in sustaining your focus. Purple energy heralds her presence, yet as she takes on human characteristics you'll see her bring forth a rainbow of colors. Here she is depicted with the heart, throat and third eye centers, to emphasize her deep compassion, power of communication and vision. Cianna projects red, orange and yellow as well, to let you know she'll help boost your physical energy, support a healthy flow of emotion, and heal self-esteem issues.

History:

I kept noticing a lot of purple energy in the room during my meditations, and also when I was working on a piece.  Then I started catching glimpses of a being that appeared to be an angel.  As she was around me more often, it became easier to "see" her.  I felt guided to draw her as a way of acknowledging her assistance with my art and her powerful positive presence which seemed to give me more energy to continue and complete creative tasks.

In meditation, in answer to my questions about her, she told me I could call her "Cianna" and that she was an angel of creative power.  I told her how grateful I am to have her companionship and beautiful energy in my life.  She is an angel who will help whoever calls her to them, with their sincere desire to make their creative efforts come to fruition.  If you purchase a print of Cianna, you may want to put it in the Helpful People corner of your dwelling.  As you are standing inside your doorway facing in, just to your right is a spot to put symbols of Helpful "People." These helpers can be personified symbols of Spirit/God, like statues of Buddha, Jesus, Mary, or Durga, and they can also be your Animal Spirit Helpers.  

I moved my original drawing of Cianna to the Helpful People area last night, and today I recieved a message on Facebook, that a print of her had been sold! Thank you, Cianna!

Journey to Japan - Pine Spirit

Pine Spirit of Japan, Watercolor and Colored Pencil on Paper, 2014

On March 15, 2011, four days after the tsunami hit Japan, I joined a monthly gathering of healers. I suggested that we journey to Japan to offer our assistance, and everyone agreed with me. The group leader instructed us to travel there individually to seek permission to give healings, and each of us did so. As soon as I stated what I wanted to do and that I sought permission, I found myself on a mountain top in Japan, speaking to the "Spirit of the Pine Trees." He drew me to him, far from having to ask permission, he was seeking me out. He told me that the pine trees were sending out prayers form the mountains to assist with the disaster taking place in Fukushima and surrounding. He asked me to go up to Griffith Park near my home, sit with the pine trees, and offer prayers from there, and also to grow pine trees from seed. This painting shows the Pine Tree Spirit as he appeared to me, with an owl in his branches, a fox in his roots, a single crane beside him, and babes taking shelter within his trunk. The Japanese Shinto "religion" was adapted from the Chinese, and is more of "A Way of Life" than a religion. The "Kami" are animistic -- sometimes humanlike, and associated with forms of nature. I mention this, because, at the time of my shamanic journeying, I did not consciously know about them. The Pine Tree Spirit is clearly one of the Kami. I added the crane because cranes, usually shown in pairs are for longevity, as are pines. The dire situation with the nuclear accident at Fukushima, followed by the earthquake and tsunami have set the fate of Japan on a precarious course, so I used only a single crane. The crane is holding an amethyst in his beak, representing access to visioning through the third-eye. The fox is Inari Okama, an androgynous Kami plays many roles; sometimes identified as being a food goddess, sometimes as an old man, and sometimes as a bodhisattva (enlightened being who assists humans). The owl may be a messenger of doom or a symbol of hope.

The Pine Tree Spirit gave me his blessing to assist, and I soon found myself in the wreckage by the sea. This is the first painting in a series.
