Anu ~ The Healer
 
This piece was completed at Mabon; the gentle nature based Anu who speaks of balance and bounty. Her nurturing strength nourishes both the land and tribes. 
 
She brings gentle strength, an unfolding warmth enfolding and profound peace. She may welcome you to walk with her; alongside Badger, Fox and Hare; or to fly with Raven and Hawk; to be still among the briar with the field mice safe with mother hedgehog; to celebrate the harvest and honour the animals and plants which sustain us; to remember with rewards always gratitude must follow. 
 
She is portrayed here standing in her landscape with the Paps of Anu behind holding a harvest apple in one hand and in the other flows honey as well as holding the seeds of next year’s growth. 
 
I see her as both goddess of the wild and goddess of harvest, and I have reflected these two aspects in the hound on one side with tribal battle standard behind and on the other is the wolf of the wild lands and the standard of the shaman behind. She holds us in this sacred space of sublime harmony and balance.
