Spirit Tapestries

by Savitri L. Bess


Images from Dreamtime, Myths, Ancient Cultures


When I weave a tapestry for someone, it becomes a partnership.

I draw from many threads—meditation visions, nature, archetypes, legends and mythologies, psychology and spirituality, even the person's astrological birth chart. Sometimes the images are shamanic in nature, and therefore transformational.

The act of creating the weaving is like an archeological discovery of soul. One can contemplate the finished tapestry in the same way one would a mandala or sacred object.

During the creation period you might have dreams or I might have dreams, or other experiences. These can be important to share.

If there is a story to go with the weaving, it can be a magical part of the creative process to post the story along with the image of the completed journey. And sometimes there isn't a story; the image speaks for itself.

"Hanuman and Devi" (38" x 45")

Responding to a call from all of nature, Hanuman, in an earlier age not unlike our own, flies through the night sky, bearing the healing herb mountain in his right hand, to join forces with the Goddess of the Crescent Moon and Hanuman's lord, a benificent king. It seems that a demon king is compelled beyond hope to destroy the oceans, the land, and all life.
