Sorting through photos on my phone, I found some from a trip to Glen Lyon, where we climbed Ben Lawers and made the pilgrimage to Glen Cailleach and Tigh nam Bodach.

It is said to be the oldest uninterrupted pre-Christian ritual site in Britain.

To reach Tigh nam Bodach is a trek, a day's walk in and out with a river to forge in the middle. But that's the way of mountains; not unlike the aging process and of becoming Crone. They command respect and do not suffer fools gladly. A right of passage must be earned, and that can not come without some discomfort.
I often berate my body for not being able to do the things like it did before, but the Crone comes to remind me that strength wears many skins. This painting is inspired by my time at Tigh nam Bodach. It honours the bean feasa and her power of restoration.
The foundation for the painting as always is an eco-print. This one is from my latest batch, drawn from the brew under an autumnal new moon. Contained within her breast the healing spirit of Nasturtium and Calendula.
For all our hearts thrum to the same drum, let us dance to the beat and ne'er be defeated.
