Altar for art

Today we had two lovely sisters to visit us. 

While these cute sisters were playing with my kids this morning I was busy making my little energy altar. Gathering things that hold the energy i want to pull in during the painting adventure "Visual Quest".. An online course i will be participating in starting tomorrow. Well it actually starts today, but that’s US time. Here in Holland, i will only be able to start tomorrow morning, when the first lessons will begin. Pixie Campbell is the teacher. She is a shamanic painter from the US. I have been following lots of her teachings in the past. Among those teachings are her Spree cast video's, and other media she uses to reach out. She teaches deep lessons about spiritual quest in life, relationships and in art. I love the way she tries to emphasize the responsibility we all have for our lives. To get out of the victim consciousness we are all in at times and to move into taking the bull by the horns when it comes to creating the life that you want. And a lot of her teachings are about how to take that responsibility in your own hands. 

This course means a very very whole lot to me, i just know i will be amazed and will spiritually grow by her teachings. I always do. And now it's going to be linked to something very important to me, painting!  So my little altar represents  and more it evokes all that is important to me right now. Energies I want to draw into in the paintings I will create during my Visual Quest course. Love is a big one, the energy that fills my heart in a big way since Oktober last year. And then my great grandmother, she is on the picture, she is with me as a guide right now. I can feel her warm soothing presence around me, which helps me so much. And the feathers i got from a special overseas friend. They come from her own birds, she gathered them for me in her garden. I use them to wave away negative energies and to cleans a room or a person with sage or incense. And my small collection of special stones and crystals, that hold special energy for me.  My altar feels complete right now..YES, I am ready to go :-)
