My First Witch Star
What you see here is my version of a witch’s star featuring the elements of spirit (purple eye), air (cloud), fire (red flame), water (rain droplet), and earth (leaf). I decided to paint the star black to represent the infinite possibilities of the Goddess. In the center of the star is a simple golden labrys, which represents the Goddess in an earthly form. I was inspired to paint a labrys on my witch’s star after reading an article called “The Labrys: A River of Birds in Migration” by Carol P. Christ. In her article she explains why she thinks the labrys was not a weapon, but instead a symbol for wings! After reading Christ’s interpretation of this sacred symbol, I can now certainly see how much it resembles a flying goddess in the form of a woman with wings.
