Description

This is my latest piece... it's Sirona, a Celtic goddess of healing, rejuvenation, the mysteries of the womb and creation. She's also a river goddess, linked with hot springs in parts of Eastern Central Gaul, and her symbols are the snake (a symbol of healing and rebirth), the dog (healing and the lines between life and death), the egg (the womb, creation), grains (fertility). She often wears a long gown and a diadem with stars or on one statue, the crescent moon.

Her most important symbol is the star, as her name actually means "star." Though I have found no specific meanings for its symbolism, to me is a sign of hope... a light in the uttermost darkness.

Painted on a 5"x2" thin slice of wood.

I am available for more small devotional altar/icon work like this at a very affordable price. Please note me for commissions!
