Final, Spruce Moon 2026
18″ x 24″, Acrylic & Collage on Paper, Jan 2026
Here is a link to a description of the year long project.
The purpose of ART is so much bigger than that of a piece of material to sell in the marketplace. ART is a connection between the Cosmos and the Earth expressed through me, the human and made into a readable instrument. In this case, I am utilizing ART for several reasons. 1 is to reconnect myself to Nature by way of the Lunar Months. 2 is to reflect back to myself lessons of the subconscious – utilizing symbolism – as in a dream, for spiritual growth. 3 is to allow God to talk to me – challenge me – grow me, through a process that is between me and God.
I share this process with others so they may be inspired to make a practice of art-making. FREE people make art. Making art and NOT selling it is how it was originally done before this fiat system of debt slavery was imposed upon humanity. Making art and NOT selling it is an act of defiance against the encroaching New World Order. Art comes from the Mystery of Chaos and is Disorder and find’s it’s own order in the Unity between me and The Creator, and I will defiantly continue to make it and not sell it purposefully against the tide of materialism.
Lunar Day 1 (Dec 21): Lamp (Oil Lamp or Candle )— The Day of New Beginnings
Read about it here. I didn’t see much because I was doing the other substrates…
Gelli Print Substrate I am using as a basis for this Moonth.
Lunar Day 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6,
I put the substrate on my easel so I could look at it.
I saw the Stinging Nettle Jellyfish (carnivorous) on the left side – and later saw the Moon Jellyfish…
Moon Jellyfish sting their prey but not humans – they are just slimy to swim through.
Interesting Jellyfish Fact:
The jellyfish species Turritopsis dohrnii, commonly known as the immortal jellyfish, possesses a unique biological mechanism that allows it to potentially live indefinitely under ideal conditions. This capability arises from its ability to reverse its life cycle when faced with stress, injury, starvation, or aging, transforming from a mature medusa back into a polyp stage through a process called transdifferentiation. This reversal enables the jellyfish to restart its life cycle, effectively bypassing death from old age.
What this means for me with regard to this artwork is that the experiences that I had as a child were the path that I was set on and my life has been a spiral, utilizing these experiences as a catalyst for spiritual growth through my whole life.
Lunar Day 7 (Dec 27) Rooster (Wind Rose)—The Day of Revelation and Purification
I drew in the Jelly fish and the shark with Chalk Markers
Lunar Day 13 (January 2) Ouroboros — The Day of the Destiny Wheel and Renewal
I saw the eye in the lower left…and I decided to put a few things together…
I took this substrate – and cut out the horse
flipped him over backward and glued him down…
Lunar Day 15 (January 3) Full Moon: Cobra — The Day of the Tempting Serpent
My husband found out his 28 yo son died.
Now, everything is upside down.
Interestingly, the Full Moon day warns of being a very hard day fraught with obstacles. We have God very strongly, which carries us through these difficult days – and this one is a whopper.
Lunar Day 19 (January 7) Spider—The Day of Temptations and Karmic Traps
I have been staring at the artwork unable to do much since we got the news. According to https://om-journal.com/moonday/ – these are seemingly universal occult definitions for the days of each month… I haven’t really been getting too into it because of the chaos of the death of my step-son.
It was on Day 19 I got this far –
The bottom section – I am thinking about gluing in – possibly cutting out a window to show the natural “eye” underneath…
We live in a tiny house. My husband had decided to “clean the living room” for me, for Christmas which bled into New Years – and he had also decided to “tile the floor” of the living room. My drafting table with all my paint is in the living room. I don’t bother to say much about these sorts of things because I am dealing with an Aquarius – who is grieving the loss of his only child, so what’s the point?
Instead, I pray.
I don’t work on the piece every day – a lot of days go by where I just stare at it and wait for answers to come. If I had a real studio I would probably work on it every day but having other people’s eyes on it – it is too hard to go through the disaster periods so I just wait until I decide exactly what I am going to do – and then I do it.
Today is Day 19 which is another naturally difficult day – and by the way – when I looked back COVID – 19 – started on Friday, March 13, 2020 – which was the 18th Moon day… self-reflection – leading right into the bad luck Moon Day of the 19th day the following day – making me think that’s why they chose that day and called it “19” – as well as other reasons.
The powers that should not be, are followers of the “Old Religion” from a dark occult stand-point and they worship the Earth Religion, but with the added human sacrifice & black magick sorcery components. They know all about the lunar days power.
I know that I will get the painting done in the time – and I know that I am learning the days and the phases of the moon. Originally when I read that the 19th Moon day was “hard” – I thought “this is not true” but then it become clear that it is true. However, I live by a spiritual way of life, so I was able to rise above the negative frequency of this day by chanting the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic and praying a lot.

Lunar Day 20 (Jan 9) – Eagle The Day of Spiritual Vision and Triumph
Today I am able to see what this painting is about – it is my childhood growing up at my father’s house in Inverness, CA on Tomales Bay, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean, salt-water with the Moon Jellyfish and the Great White Sharks and the Sea Nettle Jellyfish, Manta Rays and seaweed and my horse…vesica piscis and alcoholism. Eyes watching and seeing the truth about the violence and abuse I endured which colored every crevice of my life keeping me pinned to a card, flapping my wings and never going anywhere.
The upper right is the looming alcoholism of my family which tainted the beauty of the place I grew up and made it terrifying because of the polarization of opposites.
Details:
I wanted to reveal this eye I saw in the lower substrate so I cut it out of the foreground piece and then was “told” to meld the crease with a dollar sign since the thing that holds that family together is money – Mon – eye – One-Eye – The Monad…which also refers to the All-Seeing Eye.
I see the vesica piscis; of the moon jellies…
I see another eye – or black snake head – which symbolizes “shadow work” because the snake sheds his skin…I also put in some branches and noticed another tree on the left…
This is the next unknown… I see some eyes… but I have done enough for today… plus I still have another substrate to work into this lunation piece…
and 10 more days till the end of this lunation which will include the Funeral…the last day of this lunation… I need to review to see how my artwork lines up with all that has happened…
Lunar Day 22 (Jan 10): Elephant—The Day of Wisdom and Sacred Knowledge
I asked for this information which follows before I knew what today is…
Under in the subconscious is the cause. There is much danger, born out of the Vesica Piscis – the 2 mirror each other and bring both predator and peace. 2 types of Jellies and a big shark moving from past to the future. It showed the theme of this month- you are the support for “K” as he goes through the death of his son.
Horse running into the future alone. Tree eye snake – stay on land and keep going.
Look analyze digest witness the timing of all events. One door closes – (PP) and another one opens (GS) You will see more as it is revealed but don’t play in the water without God. That’s one layer.
This world is not safe if you are disconnected from Source. You are just prey without connection.
Top is past. Bottom is present. Middle is becoming present. Its saying “do your work, but you are alone and always have been” There are things you would like to have happen but you are at the effect of your cause in this life. Use this time to learn evolve and trust God. When how it manifests is none of your business. Appreciate what you have. Be grateful. Keep doing what you are doing and do the reading. There are many who don’t fit into the system.
Live simply, appreciate Nature but remain connected to God or you will be prey. Without connection to ultimate authority you are on equal ground with all forces and you are not equipped to meet them on equal footing. You will just be meat. But connect to Nature through God through prayer and living by morality and you will take your natural place and be safe – be in the picture not as prey but as an instrument – a conduit – playing your role.- God gives the power to be the TREE. BE a TREE rooted in the ground seeking growth from the sun /son – providing shade food house support for others – playing the role they are assigned and you play your role.
This picture is a small window. It’s meaning is multi-layered. It uses images from childhood to make you connect to vulnerability innocence feeling lost forlorn – to remind you that connection to God – Source is the most important thing as without that, no matter where you are, you will be in hell – and at the same time – if you are connected to God – you will be in heaven.
Then I added the snake…
The cat is out – has been out for more than 40 hours … I said a prayer – called in the Overlighting Devas and Pan for help and protection. Maybe he is staying with another family?
and I had to get rid of the dollar sign
I saw that it was mimicking the snake – but I couldn’t have that dollar sign there anymore – so what’s the meaning – that once I recognize that my family is all about money – the haves and the have knots in the family – the beggars and the philanthropists – the givers and the takers – and the ones that are just too damaged to take care of themselves – that came out from behind the symbol of “mon-eye” in the water (subconscious) and became a snake on the land – which is something I can work with – Shadow Work… because the snake sheds it’s skin annually – so it is a symbol doing regular shadow work to grow spiritually…
But then – I had to heed the words – so I started to put in the ripples in the water, then I started to reinforce the tree – because I AM THE TREE – and then I had to put in Duke’s (the pony) real colors – he was a raw sienna with gray main and tail… I made his hooves more stable – equal on the bottom of the page.
and then I had to connect the 2 trees together. I noticed that the tree was the only piece in the picture that actually was rooted at the bottom of the page so I had to reinforce that and then add more branches to put a separation between me and the water… so it wasn’t ruling over the whole piece anymore… now the tree is the most solid object and the pony as well. This makes me feel a lot better. I think the top branches might connect to the tendrils of the Stinging Nettle Jellyfish. And of course there is much more to do- still another week in the lunar month.
Yes I do see that the foreground is very tiny compared to the subconscious – water – but that’s ok – at least there IS ground…
I realized that the “tree” that stands below the seaweed IS the seaweed and it becomes the Spruce Tree from the Tree Calendar I made. The Evergreen Trees in Colorado are happy year round – including during the winter time. That’s me – the one in the middle with the big snake hanging on it, but the Spruce is Nature and MY TREE is connected to Nature – because
WE ARE NATURE –
The pony is Duke – my pony from childhood. He is alone – like I have always been alone. Horses and ponies should not be alone. They are herd animals. Duke was always lonely. My father used him as leverage to get me to feel guilty to come visit. Fortunately, my brother’s tenant took care of him. My astrology says I am best in groups of like-minded fellows – but that must be the challenge of this realm – sometimes you just don’t get what you would be best in. Oh Well.
“There is no such thing as happiness – I guess I will just have to be happy without it.” – Jerry Lewis
The Spruce (Nature) is on the far left – my future – GOOD! More Nature in my future. The Eye is about me looking – a left eye – the feminine perspective. The snake is a right EYE – it means I need to do some Shadow Work but also that there is a face in this painting also. MY TREE creates a nose – so this would be Pan – He has shown up unexpectedly – and I am glad because I did a ritual a while back inviting Him to be my secret lover…to go frolic with in my dreams! I am glad that He is here.
I also see my cat’s face in what would be “Pan”‘s 3rd Eye. I am glad to see him here in this picture as well. It’s very much like a dream… And Day 22 was very much a day of Wisdom and Sacred Knowledge…
Lunar Day 23 (Jan 11): Crocodile — The Day of Chaos and Inner Demons
I feel so good. I am finally making art just for me again – not to “sell” or to get people to “buy”… it’s is just self-reflection and interaction with the Divine… and that’s what the DOL’s want us not to have. So it’s a big F-YOU to the DOL’s from my inner teen – Tatiana – and from me – I just feel much more connected to myself again.
I delineated the cat-face in Pan’s 3rd Eye… and today was Weir-d… Bob Weir died…
I saw this driving down Colfax, at The Bluebird Theater, after the York #1 meeting I attended today…
This Lunar day is significant for the entire path of our evolution, it is a day of tests, so one should not give in to provocations and behave dishonorably. It will take courage for a virtuous deed and determination to defend the light.
I did have some tests – I wanted something and I drove 2 places to get it and it was not available, so given the day, I went home. Thus far, as long as I practice my spiritual path – I am mostly unaffected by the Lunar bumps in the road days…
I added yellow glints to Duke’s coat today… and I delineated Qi’s face in the 3rd Eye Branches of the Tree that Illuminated Pan’s face. I recognized the need I have for shadow work represented by the snake… but I am doing it so I am not sure what more there is. I also revisited the pain that Duke endured – he was a Welsh Pony my father bought me and used for leverage to guilt me into weekly visits. He never provided Duke with consistent food, water and no shelter and Duke had no friends. It was deeply sad.
My father was alcoholic. He murdered my dog, Brownie and buried her body in his rose garden, because she protected my mother and I against his violent attacks. He lied to us and said she “got out of the car” when he stopped for gas in San Rafael and then he never went back for her. The story doesn’t pan out because why he took her to Inverness in the first place, makes no sense. It was a premeditated murder.
Alcoholism is a spiritual possession. Alcohol is the last stage in the fermentation process before vinegar and the spirit of the plant is still contained within it. Taking in the solution of alcohol into the body with the live spirit of the plant held captive in it, opens a portal to the spiritual realm and invites other spirits to take over the body/mind/spirit of the drinker, and puts their unrested spirit to sleep for a while. I do not blame the alcoholic – however I was affected by growing up that way, and it is my responsibility to see that the buck stops here.
Lunar Day 24 (Jan 12): Bear—The Day of Power and Transformation
We are still going through K’s mourning of W’s (his son) death. The funeral is set for Saturday. We are going to the hot springs on Wednesday. W’s mom is planning the funeral.
People who are crazy from my past are calling me to bait me back into their chaos. I am also going to drive to Littleton for the GS meeting and I am wary about that. I don’t trust anyone really anymore. Everyone seems fake so I really want to make sure that they are not before I give over my whole self – which I won’t do anyway. I want to learn Donna Eden and Touch for Health, but it’s all too expensive. I am going to get the books and use the videos to learn it.
I feel very emotional today, so I am just praying my ass off to feel better and doing what little I can do when I feel this way. I can’t relate to the Lunar Day at all.
Lunar Day 25(Jan 13): Tortoise (Shell)—The Day of Tranquility and Introspection
This feels done… I added the Bat Ray today. Bat Rays are another one of the creatures that inhabit Tomales Bay. They are always on the bottom, buried in the sand. Bat Rays don’t sting – like Sting Rays. Further down toward the ocean, one encounters Sting Rays…along with crabs. The White Sharks that are swimming with us in Tomales Bay are no more than 5′ long and never bit anyone. It’s the Great White Sharks at the mouth of Tomales Bay that eat people. After JAWS though, it was impossible for me to swim blithely in Tomales Bay anymore, because you can’t see through the green water.
Pan Face 1
Pan Face 2
I can clearly see Pan’s face,… in this painting, which was “unintentional”. I did a ritual a few months ago in which I invited Pan into my life to take me on frolics in Nature in my dreams.
“My” Cat, Qi is in the Mind’s Eye of Pan. He came to me to save me from the depression I was in due to the state of the “wirl’d”.
Interpretation of the Painting
The Shark is the Family Disease of Alcoholism. It’s in the past but it is still in my present which is why it looms toward my future. The left is the future and the right is the past. The Stinging Nettle Jellies are the other family members that allowed the behaviors of my parents to continue. The Moon Jellies are other “benign” people who were around but said and did nothing. The sandbar is “getting stuck” and having to wait for a high tide (emotion) to get unstuck, but it never really worked. The ratio of land to water is that my life has all been under water. It was a life lived in the subconscious, barely manifesting. Dissociative. The snake is in the past but it is the way we do Shadow Work – annually shedding another layer of skin.
The Pony is me and the Orange Tree is me. The Spruce is God. It is winter and I am rooted. I have received a gift and I can show my true self without being judged for tattoos, because they are presently hidden. Pan makes an appearance showing me He is with me as Himself, not as the Devil, which is an “old theme” of mine when I am fragmented. His mouth is the little wave and also the bat ray, however you want to look at it. One is masculine and one is more feminine. The bat ray is another unknown entity in the Subconscious drama of the Family of Origin that I am no longer a part of. Entities that we just ignore and never investigate. It shows transformation, headed in the right direction. The bat ray is in the past and headed into the past. Being that it is the opposite color as “Duke” the Pony, I see that it was me back in the day. Ominous looking with a sweet funny smile underneath and a mean stinger in my tail. Using my mouth to cause harm – also in the past.
Pan’s face is in the present. Pan, the God of Nature is part of “God” – they work together. God manifested in the physical realm.
Lunar Day 27 – 28, (Jan 15-16)
It seems that I finished this painting on Lunar Day 25, and then had an extension of the Turtle on Lunar Days 27-28… Interesting.
I had an experience on Lunar Day 27 and was directed to paint it on Lunar Day 28. I did a different painting. I am basically out of paper from the first substrate but I found some test papers I ran before I did the actual substrate prints for the Solstice, so I used those. Here is the post about it.
Lunar Day 29(Jan 17)
Today is the day of my step-son’s funeral, and it is the last day of this lunar moonth.
The watchwords for Day 29 are caution, humility, and purification. Spiritual elders teach that this is a day to confront one’s shadow and to practice repentance for any misdeeds committed in the past month. People are advised to remain calm, prayerful, and introspective. – Slavic Lunar Magic by Tara Sovalil
