Description "Listen to the Words of the Great Mother, Who was of old called among men Artemis, Astarte, Diana, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Dana, Arianrhod, Isis, Bride, and by many other Names. At My Altars the youth of most distant ages gave love, and made due sacrifice. Whenever ye have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the Moon is Full, then shall ye gather in some secret place and adore the Spirit of Me, Who am Queen of All Witcheries. There shall ye gather, ye who are fain to learn all Magick, yet have not yet won its deepest secrets: to these will I teach things that are yet unknown."

Taken from "The Charge of the Goddess" - Originally written by Doreen Valiente.

This is a peice I have wanted to do for a while, and I am so glad its done now! Critique is welcome, I am, for the most part, happy with it, I had a few stumbling blocks along the way though


All work done in Photoshop CS. Lots of brush work & repainting! Approximately 11 hours.

Wow! Just amazing, my dear! I love how the sky and the sea meet and the contrast in color...very beautiful! Of course, the detail is just amazing too! As always, the background is absolutely gorgeous but the moon and the model always seem stand out perfectly to draw the focus on the theme! Great work Hon!
