What is behind the Lunar Goddess Paintings - 3rd of 7?

10/8/2014

You are probably wondering what is behind the Lunar Goddess Series I am currently creating.  These are either mythological goddesses who have piqued my interest or real life women (human goddesses) who I have been inspired by. 

The third of my series of seven is Pele's Moon :  Ka wahine ʻai honua

Pele is an Earth Goddess and she inspires me in her intense passion for beauty and profound love.  She is of the Hawaiian people who say she can be found among her people blending in or shape shifting with natural beings.  I find her to be a very emotional goddess which lends to her beautiful creative fiery ways.  In her moments of her fury, the fire that rages inside her explodes in a creation of natural wonders that we can witness when new islands are created.  With her love of beautiful flowers, she brings forth the red berries known as “Ohelo ai”,  and can be found scattered around the base of the Volcano that is only hers, known as “Kilauea”.   I am sure you are wondering what the Hawaiian words mean in the title of this painting?  It is “…the earth eating woman”.

(Note:  Please see previous posts to learn about what is behind the other paintings to gain some insight on what the painting represents.)
