Card: Remember Who You Are

Landscape: Earth/Belonging

Title of Painting: Snake River Woman

Interpretation: Take a breath. Think back to the woman who bore you. Now think back to the woman who bore her. And even further. We all have ancestors. Some are connected by blood and other are chosen. They are as near to us as our breath and bones. Visualize the long line of ancestors from which you have emerged and claim them as a source of profound healing, guidance, and companionship. The next time you’re feeling stuck or paralyzed, remember that your existence is miraculous.

Deeper Resonance: This artwork is the cornerstone piece for the “Snake River Women” series. This woman is a giant among the foothills descending into the Snake River. She is of the land - elemental and inseparable from the topography.
