A woman sits on a crate within St Paul's Cathedral in London, roses rise up from a circular grate in the floor wrapping around her body and blossoming around her. A golden halo of divinity is centered behind her head, "Goddess of the Land" was painted for Pax Londinium, supplement for Liminal rpg. Excerpt from the book: "Branwen stood, in legend, as the goddess of Britain, with her fate tied to that of the land. In a similar vein, the goddess Fflur was fought over by Julius Caesar and Caswallawn, with the Briton losing out to the Roman, leading to the Roman invasion of England. The diviners of the Council of Merlin have, for some time now, predicted that there is a new protector born in London somewhere — a new Boudica to rise and save her people. Who it is, who the people are and why this woman will rise are unknown, but the ancient power of British defiance could spark a war across the capital."
"Goddess of the Land" painted in 2019 for #Liminalrpg.
