When you have learned how to do something, the only way to innovate is to strip away the conventions that you have learned and apply your skills in new directions.

Perhaps The Hermit reversed could indicate this rebellious, but necessary, part of the creative process? 

What do you think?

Happy #worldartday2021. This is a self-portrait b Happy #worldartday2021.  This is a self-portrait by Artemesia Gentileschi, the artist as the allegory of painting. 

This fascinating artist was the subject of a recent Exhibition of her work at the National Gallery in London in 2020.

To find out more about this fascinating and successful female artist, you can look at her Wiki entry.

I can also heartily recommend the National Gallery book that accompanied the exhibition curated by Letizia Treves which can be bought from online retailers, including the National Gallery itself.

Active from Sunday, 4 April to 12 April - 8 Arrows Active from Sunday, 4 April to 12 April - 8 Arrows for us in the Northern Hemisphere. 

taken from A Year In The Wildwood

Some days, it's like trying to wade hip-deep through snow trying to get anything done - for every two steps forward, you end up taking one step back.  Everything fees like an uphill struggle.  You can feel hemmed in and trapped.

We fire off our arrows with good intent, but our arrows sometimes do not find their mark and show us wasted effort.

But it's not all hopeless - just as the woman clutches her useful walking staff and lantern, we too have the tools to power on through our daily struggle and free ourselves from the mire.

* Where is your own lantern that can light your way? 

* Want of your own walking staff? The 8 Arrows asks you to search deep within yourself for those resources that life within YOU that can help you negotiate the 'storm'.

When days of struggle arise, do not despair - you hae the tools to help yourself close at hand.

Finding so much from Caroline Myss' work that is v Finding so much from Caroline Myss' work that is very quotable with a #tarotcard! 

When do you know to stop struggling and just see where the tide takes you? When should you power on through to reach your goals? Honestly, I don't know.

Perhaps when pushing through makes you feel ill, unhappy, or unbalanced in your life - it might be time to take your hands off the wheel for a little bit and see how you feel, see what happens. We can't control everything, much as we might strive to.
