Goddess Of The Moon

Taken from my exhibtion "Festival of Life" which was showing over the summer. The main element of this exhibition was showing that all cultures celebrate the important events in life.
This painting is about the ancient worship of the moon. The moon had a strong influence and was often seen as a female deity. Worked into the painting is the wiccan symbol of the goddess, the waxing, the full and the waning moon.
Many religions still use the moon to calculate their calendars.
