I love the feminine Sun drawn by horses! I read a book all about feminine Solar figures a few years back and they are often depicted this way.

That image of the moon with snakes reminded me of the minoan goddess holding snakes in her hands. Snakes shed their skin, and therefore symbolize reincarnation and immortality, just like the moon who grows and shrinks. What is the connection here?

The visuals are always so beautiful, do you create art yourself? These videos have been instrumental in my art practice the past year ❤️ thank you for the content you create :)
