Diana’s Moon
By Dawn Zanfardino
                                    
As the Moonlight Kisses the Sacred Oak Groves,
Deep Into the Darkness, You Dare Venture.
With Beautiful Strength and Stealthy Prowess,
You Have Become A Most Glorious Huntress.
  
High in the Mountains and Far Into the Night,
Your Voice Speaks Softly, and Your Heart Beats Volumes
For All Woodland Creatures ~ Our Life’s Sacred Spiral.

Bast's Moon
By Dawn Zanfardino

Egyptian Goddess of the Sun and the Moon,
Behold, she possesses Utchat,
Into the Chasm, she illuminates deeply,
The Hidden, which none others can see.
 
From the darkness, ethereally,
Bast plays her Sistrum,
Evermore haunting, soulful, beautiful.
Music emanates from within the shadows,
Sacred Messages awakens her spiritual soul.
 
With her --- we can see,
Without her --- we cannot.
We stand here at the Portal,
Faced with a choice,

To Follow her into the Shadows, Open our Hearts, or
Be Destined to Fear Forever, the Shadows.
We.  Must.  Choose.

"Pele's Moon: Ka wahine ʻai honua" - Acrylics on Canvas (18" x 24") Dawn Zanfardino (Lunar Goddess Series 3/7) (Currently in Private Collection)
Pele’s Moon:  Ka wahine ʻai honua
By Dawn Zanfardino

Fiery passion, Caldera burns,
Pele dances under her moon,

Ancient whispers, Howling winds,
Pele dances under her moon,

Brilliant sparks, Lightning strikes,
Pele dances under her moon,

Molten blood creates new lands while ōhelo Red Berries bloom,
As Pele’s Sacred Witness, Rising toward the evening sky,
You now dance under Pele’s Moon, Upon her Sacred Land.

"Jezebel's Moon :: Tribal Goddess ::" - Acrylics on Canvas ( 18" x 24") Dawn Zanfardino ( Lunar Goddess Series 2/7 ) (Currently in Private Collection)

Jezebel’s Moon :: Tribal Goddess ::
By Dawn Zanfardino


In the shadow, I dance in the darkness of the night
to worship the diaphanous new moon,

Entering in the evening flight of fiery passion,
I become that of the dark raven’s soul,

Lured by the haunting music of the night,
for eternity intertwining fusion of the darkness.

For I Am Jezebel :: The Tribal Goddess ::

"Callisto's Moon" - Acrylics on Canvas ( 18" x 24") - Dawn Zanfardino ( Lunar Goddess Series 1/7 ) (Private Collection - Not For Sale)

Callisto’s Moon
By Dawn Zanfardino
 

I Am The One who once was a nymph named Callisto
I Am The One who was turned into a bear

I Am The One who now travels the dark night sky
To guide you toward the North Star

I Am Ursa Major – The Great Bear
