God's Summer

She is abundant and filled with the harvest of life. God’s Summer is one of a series of nontraditional images of the feminine that remind us to bring nurturing, compassion and heart into our daily lives. She exemplifies courage, and wears it as a halo as symbolized by the mane of yellow hair. The circles and spirals are the goddess signs of eternal life, death and rebirth. Her swirling blue dress is indicative of the waters from where all life has begun and since neolithic times has represented the “mother,” from where all life derives. She is fruitful in all her ventures and in the scene she is always inspired to action by the bull, an ancient symbol of the masculine. The sunflower guides her into the light. Magic occurs when we open to life.
