One of the challenges of Paganism-as-nature-religion is reconciling sacred calendars from different parts of the world.

The Minoan midwife-goddess Eileithyia is a fascinating character!

The front cover of Tales from the Labyrinth: Modern Minoan Myths by Laura Perry overlaid on a photo of green grass blades bejeweled with drops of dew. The book cover features the Minoan Snake Goddess and a labyrinth design. Text above the book cover reads, "Ariadne knew that she must leave the Underworld as a natural part of the cycle. She would return to the World Above for the season, rising up with the first green sprouts in the fields." At the bottom of the graphic is the URL LauraPerryAuthor.com.
I had so much fun writing these stories and painting the illustrations for them! Each myth includes a full-page color illustration, in the Minoan art style. Details, table of contents, sample illustrations: www.lauraperryauthor.com/tales-from-t...

The top of a cabinet, covered with a yellow cloth, holds an assortment of small colorful items. They include a broad yellow bowl full of linen thread and bay leaves, a small glass dish full of poppyseeds and a tiny green stone, three scallop shells, a black metal dish that holds an incense burner, three chestnuts, a square bottle full of blue liquid, a footed dish full of salt and the ash of incense charcoal, a small white marble bowl full of dried herbs, a footed cake stand that holds a bunch of dried lavender stems and a crocheted honeybee, a dried pomegranate, and a green glass paperweight.
The Minoan altar by the window in my studio is a busy place these days.
