Apocrypha



Apocrypha
From the Greek apokruphos-“hidden away”. I find it interesting that the word meaning “hidden knowledge” has come to mean instead “probably not true”. People are frightened of things they don’t understand and won’t take the time to learn. In this piece I have placed a carnelian crystal in a golden niche, behind this a copper curtain veils the Tarot image of The High Priestess. Carnelian inspires creativity and confidence, the High Priestess symbolizes the Feminine Divine, the mystery of the intuition and the unconscious. Her powers are always used for good purposes. But all this has not been understood. This life affirming knowledge has been locked away and forgotten
