Celestial Sun
For those of you who know anything about the ancient Celts, you’ll know they were obsessed with the sun, as indicated in many pieces of Celtic Art. The sun was a symbol of life, fertility and growth to the Celts, and they spent much of their time focussing on the cycle of the sun [although we now know that it is the earth which revolves around the sun and not vice-versa], and the seasonal fruits its presence bore-hence why we have the Celtic sun-wheel motifs
Bloddeuwedd
This is the Celtic goddess Bloddeuwedd. The ancient Celts revered nature; that is why all of their deities are the embodiment of every aspect of nature. Essentially, their gods are tangible; [i.e. Teutates is the water, hence why warriors on the Gundestrup Cauldron were depicted being dunked head first into water]. In this instance, Bloddeuwedd is the very essence of the 9 Primroses, the moon and her totem animal is the owl
Aries
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and the meaning is ‘I am’. I’m not sure if this has something to do with the Old Testament Christian god who categorically states that he is the first and the last, and that he is the great ‘I am’. Coincidental as it may be, this is merely an example of my zodiac plaques. The pictures can be adapted to suit taste
Book of the Dead, and the Eye of Horus
The main piece with the hieroglyphics has been taken from the Egyptian ‘Book of the Dead’, in which Anubis [the jackal-headed god] guides the deceased on his journey into the after-life. First the person is judged by those depicted at the top. The glyphs on the right tell the story of how the dead man has lived his life. This will dictate on what kind of after-life he has. The eye of Horus on the trinket box indicates that the eagle-headed god Horus is watching over the owner. Again, like all my work, it can be adapted to auit individual taste, making each one unique
