celtic mythology: aine

Aine was both a Celtic Goddess and a Faery Queen. She has been known by other names, such as the Lady of the Lake, the Goddess of the Earth and Nature, and the Goddess of Luck and Magick. As well, there are some people who actually believe that she might be an aspect of The Morrigan. Aine was the daughter of Eogabail, a member of the Tuatha da Danaan and the foster son of the Sea God Manannan Mac Lir, while other versions of this legend claim that she was actually married to Manannan Mac Lir himself.

The origin of the term "Tree hugger"

The first tree huggers were 294 men and 69 women belonging to the Bishnois branch of Hinduism, who, in 1730, died while trying to protect the trees in their village from being turned into the raw material for building a palace. They literally clung to the trees, while being slaughtered by the foresters. But their action led to a royal decree prohibiting the cutting of trees in any Bishnoi village. And now those villages are virtual wooded oases amidst an otherwise desert landscape.

Not only that, the Bishnois inspired the Chipko movement (chipko means “to cling” in Hindi) that started in the 1970s, when a group of peasant women in the Himalayan hills of northern India threw their arms around trees designated to be cut down. Within a few years, this tactic, also known as tree satyagraha, had spread across India, ultimately forcing reforms in forestry and a moratorium on tree felling in Himalayan regions.

Having a Full Time Job Again!

I am still painting but now I work mon-fri at a pre-school. It’s great, I’m mainly in charge of the School age after school kids. I also love my toddlers and early preschoolers.

VIA:  A Mighty Girl

“ In 1942, a photographer snapped a picture of then 20-year-old Naomi Parker-Fraley, wearing her favorite red and white polka dot bandana while she worked on a turret lathe at the Naval Air Station in Alameda, California. Little did she know that her image would become the inspiration for the feminist icon Rosie the Riveter – or that she’d have to fight for years to have her own photo accurately identified. Fortunately, with the help of James Kimble, a professor of communications at Seton Hall University, Parker-Fraley, who’s now 96, has proven her case and can be confident of her place in history. “I just wanted my own identity,“ she told People. "I didn’t want fame or fortune, but I did want my own identity.” “

loss

I miss my grandmother, there is a deep ache in my heart when i think of her. Its been three years but still i miss her so much. I miss talking to her, I constantly want to call her to tell her about a life event or show her a painting im working on. I miss looking at family photos with her and hearing all her stories. She had such blind faith in me, i miss that. I miss her more than words can express.
