I owe so much gratitude to my Angels, and my customers, for the immense satisfaction I get from my work. Making the Kwan Yin Pendant was no exception, because it served to re-awaken in me the empowering, life changing connection with the divine feminine as a result of my research into the multivarious manifestations of the Great Mother Principal, which is evident in all era’s and all societies throughout the world.
The Palaeolithic Venus statues, St. Bridget of my homeland Ireland, Mother Mary, Rhiannan in Britain, Venus of the Romans, Ishtar, Isis and Astarte (the list is endless) all restored within me deep feelings of connection to all womankind, and aroused a new sense of comittment to restore in women that female sacredness, which has been the target of such brutal misogyny and sexism, since classical antiquity.
Kwan Yin or Guan Yin the Great Feminine, represents the female principles of universal and unconditional love, whose qualities include connection, peace, oneness, empathy, nurture, compassion, fertility, mercy, healing and abundance.
In the many beautiful portrayals of the Goddess Kwan Yin we see her surrounded by a variety of symbols; a dragon to represent ancient wisdom, a baby for the goddess as mother, a lotus flower for purity, a bird for fecundity, a book for the Dharma which she often recited, a bottle for medicine, a waterfall for compassion, (Kwan Yin cried tears of compassion when she saw the suffering of the world), a sprig of willow also signifying tears, a rice bowl for material abundance, pearls for wisdom, a sea serpent as a protector of sailors and a hand, cupped in the yoni mudra representing the universal feminine.
She is often depicted with a thousand arms and varying numbers of eyes, hands and heads, sometimes with an eye in the palm of each hand. In this form she represents the omnipresent mother, aware of all humanity in all directions simultaneously, extending her many arms to alleviate suffering with infinite extensions of her mercy.
