Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking
Religion & Spirituality:Spirituality
What does being in a body teach us about the nature of being in process? How might our lived experiences serve as connective tissues linking our artistic and spiritual practices?
Recorded in November 2022 - towards the end of The Lovers year, where the lunar nodes were in the Scorpio-Taurus axis - my conversation with Rachel Blodgett continued to work its potent medicine through me. Rachel is a kindred spirit and an artist whose work I dearly admire. You may know her from her Serpent & Bow garments.
As I'm thawing out of a period of hibernation from creating and sharing conversations, this one feels ripe to share.
We discussed about the secret body (a term Rachel came up with during our conversation), holding space for the human process, creating art, and symbols.
It's a fertile, rich conversation that keeps on giving. The conversation unfolded in magical, nonlinear time, and I feel deeply that the themes we covered here are more present now in the collective than ever.
May this conversation serve as a catalyst and a reminder for you, too.
Here's Rachel's bio:
Established in 2012, Serpent & Bow is the full time ritual art practice of Rachel Blodgett.
Working with natural materials and visual magic, Serpent & Bow explores transformative and liberatory embodiment through the creation, wear, and use of ritual artworks.
Rachel Blodgett (she/her) is an artist and poetic spellcrafter from Santa Rosa, California.
She is devoted to the mystery of being human, and to courtship with artistic expression as a method of communicating with the universe.
