Wodaabe man flirtin'
Photo by Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher
From a page on the National Geographic photo gallery.

One Tuesday morning I made prayer and offerings to clear away my inner obstructions and nurture my highest expressions of courage and justice. Part of my observance involved face painting, inspired by the African Wodaabe tribe. Wodaabe men are known for their elaborate displays of body art and regalia. According to Wodaabe traditions, these ceremonial expressions of beauty are used to attract lovers.

Not looking for a lover per se, my adaptation of Wodaabe-esque facial paint was an expression of courage. First within, and then, outwardly as I walked to town wearing face paint. How long has it been since an African walked thru Crestone wearing sacred body art? Who knows. It must have been a dash of cultural cayenne for the folks in town. Too hot for some perhaps, though savoury to others.

Not war paint. Not a clown. Not for entertainment.
Raw regalia, spontaneous and in your face.
"Hello". :)
No apologies.

Shocking perhaps to some, fun to others.

For me it was simple Spirit-inspired work practice. Fun, challenging, revelatory and executed with the best of intent.

I received a long blank stare from one of the village matriarchs while shopping at the Mart. What was she thinkin? Hm.

"Cool!" one fella remarked before instigating a political conversation at the register.

Two people asked me to draw on their bodies. So I did. An unexpected opportunity to share the prayer.

Face paint ingedients included aloe vera gel, powderized pinon resin, cedar charcoal, non-toxic watercolor pencils and non-toxic gold and copper acrylics.

Neith Discourse

"Neith before me,
Neith at my right hand,
Neith behind me,
Neith at my left hand.
Neith within me,
Neith help me speak my truth."

- From the Feri Tradition daily practice prayer

-----------------

"The Egyptian goddess Neith has a reputation as both a military figure and as a mother goddess and nurse, characteristics that caused the Greeks to identify her with the goddess Athena. In Hebrew, Deborah means “Bee” and that symbol is closely identified with Neith. A Temple to Neith was called “House of the Bee”, and the Bee was the symbol of kingship in Lower Egypt.

Neith was one of Egypt’s oldest and most important deities. She was most prominent in the delta region of Sais, and her cult goes back to predynastic times. Her name appears as an element in the name of Queen Neithotep, who was married to either Narmer or Hor-Aha the founders of the first dynasty. The marriage of an Upper Egyptian warrior-king to a queen named after a prominent Lower Egyptian deity suggests to some scholars that the unification of Egypt may have begun with a military venture but ended with a diplomatic marriage.

Neith was mostly noted as a fierce warrior who had a strong domestic side to her. Although her symbol was a pair of crossed arrows over a shield, she was also identified as the patroness of weaving and as a mortuary goddess. Together with Isis, Nephthys, and Selket, she watched over Osiris’s bier. As patroness of weaving, the mummy shrouds and bandages used to wrap the deceased were thought of as her gift, permitting the deceased to partake of her divine power.

One of the features of Neith worship, according to Herodotus, was a great festival known as the Feast of Lamps, during which her devotees all through the night kept numerous lights burning."

EXCERPTS FROM:
Bible, Myth and History,
Neith and the Two Biblical Deborahs: One and the Same
Presented at the annual meeting of the American Research Center in Egypt, Atlanta 1995

-----------------

The Greek statesman Solon (circa 638-558 BC) had visited Sais, Egypt, where the priest of Neith translated an account of Atlantis from hieroglyphs on the Temple of Neith. The origin of the Atlantis story must therefore be sought not in classical Greece, but at the very dawn of Egyptian history. Atlantis had already been lost beneath the waves at the time the hieroglyphs were inscribed. The Egyptian priests stated that the event occurred in remote antiquity and that they knew little about it themselves other than what was recorded at Neith.

<>Few remains have been found at Sais, yet this city is extensively referred to in early Egyptian sources. Sais was a very ancient city founded by the first Pharaoh of Egypt, called Aha in the Egyptian records and Menes by the historian Manetho. The construction of the Temple of Neith is also attributed to Pharaoh Aha. These hieroglyphs on the Temple of Neith would have been inscribed in the very earliest period of Egyptian history, under the first pharaoh or his immediate successor.

from Traditions of Atlantis in History and Scripture

-----------------

In Egyptian mythology, Neith (also known as Nit, Net, and Neit) was an early goddess in the Egyptian pantheon. She was the patron deity of Sais, where her cult was centered in the Western Nile Delta of Egypt and attested as early as the First Dynasty.^[1]. The Ancient Egyptian name of this city was Zau.

Neith also was one of the three tutelary deities of the ancient Egyptian southern city of Ta-senet or Iunyt now known as Esna (Arabic: إسنا), Greek: Λατόπολις (Latopolis)[1], or πόλις Λάτων (Polis Laton), or Λάττων (Laton); Latin: Lato), which is located on the west bank of the River Nile, some 55 km south of Luxor, in the modern Qena Governorate.

It is thought that Neith may correspond to the goddess Tanit (Ta-Nit), worshipped in north Africa by the early Berber culture (existing from the beginnings of written records) and through the first Punic culture originating from the founding of Carthage by Dido. Ta-nit, meaning in Egyptian the land of Nit, also was a heavenly goddess of war, a virginal mother goddess and nurse, and, less specifically, a symbol of fertility. Her symbol is remarkably similar to the Egyptian ankh and her shrine, excavated at Sarepta in southern Phoenicia, revealed an inscription that related her securely to the Phoenician goddess Astarte (Ishtar). Several of the major Greek goddesses also were identified with Tanit by the syncretic, interpretatio graeca, which recognized as Greek deities in foreign guise the deities of most of the surrounding non-Hellene cultures. A Hellenistic royal family ruled over Egypt for three centuries, a period called the Ptolemaic dynasty until the Roman conquest in 30 A.D.

Neith was a goddess of war and of hunting and had as her symbol, two crossed arrows over a shield. Her symbol also identified the city of Sais.^[2] This symbol was displayed on top of her head in Egyptian art. In her form as a goddess of war, she was said to make the weapons of warriors and to guard their bodies when they died.

Her name also may be interpreted as meaning, water. In time, this meaning led to her being considered as the personification of the primordial waters of creation. She is identified as a great mother goddess in this role as a creator.

Neith in hieroglyphs

Neith's symbol and part of her hieroglyph also bore a resemblance to a loom, and so later in the history of Egyptian myths, she also became goddess of weaving, and gained this version of her name, Neith, which means weaver. At this time her role as a creator changed from being water-based to that of the deity who wove all of the world and existence into being on her loom.

As a goddess of weaving and the domestic arts she was a protector of women and a guardian of marriage, so royal woman often named themselves after Neith, in her honour. Since she also was goddess of war, and thus had an additional association with death, it was said that she wove the bandages and shrouds worn by the mummified dead as a gift to them, and thus she began to be viewed as a protector of one of the Four sons of Horus, specifically, of Duamutef, the deification of the canopic jar storing the stomach, since the abdomen (often mistakenly associated as the stomach) was the most vulnerable portion of the body and a prime target during battle. It was said that she shot arrows at any evil spirits who attacked the canopic jar she protected.

In the late pantheon of the Ogdoad myths, she became identified as the mother of Ra and Apep. When she was identified as a water goddess, she was also viewed as the mother of Sobek, the crocodile.^[3] It was this association with water, i.e. the Nile, that led to her sometimes being considered the wife of Khnum, and associated with the source of the River Nile. She was associated with the Nile Perch as well as the goddess of the triad in that cult center.

As the goddess of creation and weaving, she was said to reweave the world on her loom daily.

The Greek historian, Herodotus (c. 484-425 BC), noted that the Egyptian citizens of Sais in Egypt worshipped Neith and that they identified her with Athena.^[4] Plato, in his Timaeus, a Socratic dialogue written circa 360 B.C., stated that Neith was the Greek goddess 'Athene' by another name, although historically they do not share the same origins. In the mid-twentieth century work, The Greek Myths (8.a ff.), Robert Graves expressed the suspicion that the worship of Neith was imported from near Lake Triton in Libya into Crete and then into Greece as the warrior goddess Athena at a very early date, perhaps as early as 3,500 BC.

Plutarch, who lived from circa 46 - 120 A.D., said the temple of Neith (of which nothing now remains) bore the inscription:

I am All That Has Been, That Is, and That Will Be.
No mortal has yet been able to lift the veil that covers Me.

In much later times, her association with war and death, led to her being identified with Nephthys (and Anouke or Ankt). Nephthys became part of the Ennead pantheon, and thus considered a wife of Set. Despite this, it was said that she interceded in the kingly war between Horus and Set, over the Egyptian throne, recommending that Horus rule.

"Robes of Infinity" centers around an Egyptian-esque line figure's forehead where an enhanced third eye energy center emanates. Expanding from an inner void and seat of a microcosmic logos energies outward forming radiant auric robes. Regalia for a specific frequency. Related to an energetic center known by some as the "pieah".

"PIEAH, a word that refers to a meditation energy center located between the forehead and the back of the skull. At times the PIEAH attracts energy like a black hole and at other times it radiates energy with equal intensity." - Ref: Ross Rudel's Heads and Clubs art exhibition.

A halo-like disc known as the renawre emits a fountain of luminescent wings and dimensional possibilities around the figure.

6. What can you do from the Renawre to quiet your thoughts?

Light Body Grad's RENAWRE TIDBIT:
http://www.orindaben.com/seminars/seminar_prepcorecocoon.php#read
"As you get the energy bodies harmonized and play with the Renawre center, you begin to notice that some of the energy you are experiencing moves up and starts to fold around. That is the Renawre cocoon. As you gain radiance the Renawre cocoon takes on a shimmer, and might even get brighter and brighter. The light of the Renawre might be experienced as more of a white-silver light than the golden, yellowish light of the light body."

Symbols representing the Egyptian "uraeus" or caduceus combined with the figure eight, or infinity symbol on the chest of each cobra that emanates from the central figure's brow chakra. The "serpentine flux" and "infinity eight" patterns echo via intuitive penstrokes rendered with iridescent silver throughout the composition.

A larger uraeus disk echoes both above and below the figure, representing an aspect of the being with an even more expanded capacity for Vision. The higher self's third eye, basically. Doorway to universal omniscience, complimenting the microcosmic dot of inner omniscience at the forehead of the figure. The uraeus below also alludes to the saha light body center. Known for its empowering functions.

The feather represents angelic wings of light, common regalia to the energetics that may be involved during expanded states of awareness

THE CUTTING EDGE MEDICINE
Review of Vibrational Medicine Collection Entry

Posted Wednesday, April 04, 2007
Introducing the Vibrational Medicine Collection
Stylized representations of the human energetic bodies.

Consider the following quote by Mike Adams –
From The Ten Most Important Emerging Technologies for Humanity

“Vibrational medicine is the future of healing. While the eras of physical and chemical medicine are now fading, vibrational medicine is emerging as a far superior model for accelerating healing in patients everywhere.”

Vibrational medicine is a promising area of “technology” (it’s difficult to call it that) that covers a variety of pioneering healing modalities now known to be far more powerful than drugs and surgery in improving the lives of patients. These modalities include:

• Phototherapy: harnessing the healing power of natural sunlight to prevent cancer, reverse clinical depression, alter moods, increase bone density and much more.

• Color Therapy: using selected wavelengths of natural sunlight to create a physiological, psychological or energetic response in a patient.

• Homeopathy: using the “memory of water” to imprint a patient with the healing properties of selected substances.

• Sound Therapy: the therapeutic use of sound waves to create a healing response in the patient. Music therapy is one branch of sound therapy.

• Spiritual Healing: harnessing the power of prayer and focused intention to alter the health outcome for a patient. Also called “non-local medicine,” it is well supported by double-blind placebo studies… etc.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT - APRIL 2008

MR. TUFANI MAYFIELD

With art I pray, heal myself and harmoniously socialize with those around me.

Through art I am best able to share valuable insights I receive from cultural awareness and interfaith spiritual development.

I cultivate an expanded awareness and sensitivity to the influence of Spirit in my daily life. I prefer to focus on positive spiritual and cultural influences which make their presence known to me through dreams, visions and a myriad of circumstances. I learn to pay close attention to the order of nature which reveals relationships between different aspects of my life experience.

Divination tools are often involved in my approach to creation and discourse.
I reference diverse cultural and spiritual sources to help identify and communicate the purpose of each art piece. Indigenous African, Asian and American symbols are some of my favorite sources to work with.

Abstraction is an important part of my work. By setting a piece out in the rain or snow or allowing the liquid layers to flow, I create space for natural forces to leave their signatures.

MATERIALS
Specially selected colors, sounds, geomteric patterns, frequencies, textures, prayers and intentions go into each art piece.

I create seed drawings, sketches which act as reusable templates.

I scan or photocopy the original drawing and apply the copy to the surface. For adhesive I use translucent binders including acrylics, varnishes and hot wax.
Once applied to the surface the copy (or original drawing) is bathed in multiple layers of translucent finishes which I mix myself using interference, metallic and phosphorescent pigments. I draw geometric patterns between the translucent layers with permanent markers and/or paint pens.

SURFACES
When producing a new piece, I work with discarded surfaces, recycled materials and whatever supplies are on hand. Since moving to Crestone, I've found materials in our local freebox including Asian opera masks, worn furniture, cosmetics and clothing.

Once a piece is completed I may scan or take a digital photo of it. The digital imagery becomes a resource to design custom patterns, colors and printable graphics.

A new digital design element inspired by Dr. Masaru Emoto's Messages from Water.

Design Methods:

• Source components: You Tube screen shots from a Messages from the Water video. Digital image of water energized by the Universal Harmonizer an invention inspired by Dr. Emoto's water crystal research.
• Artist-enhanced with image editing software thus producing oscillating and amplifying effects.
• Artist's intent during creation of this piece, is to visually share auspicious blessings whose essences revitalized and reshaped Dr. Emoto's water, forming the beautiful and wholesome hexagonal crystalline structures.
  

"We can see that both the lifeforce energy (biophotons/light) in the central photograph and the crystalline structure (both essential to creating and sustaining life itself) have been enhanced, or restored, to ordinary tap water and distilled water respectively. This makes this water highly energised, structured, balanced and thus, beneficial to all life forms, especially human beings.
- Equilibria"

This quotes something a local mountain man suggested to me. Glad we listened.

Thanks!

Interesting view on fine art from Fine Art Views.

------------------------------------------------

"Want people to respect and enjoy your artwork more? Evidence suggests
that you should think about raising your prices.


"If it Doesn't Sell...Raise Your Prices"

We know a very famous, talented and respected artist whose paintings now
sell for upwards of $100,000 apiece. He once shared his pricing
"secret" with us. It was a simple philosophy. He told us, "If a
painting doesn't sell, I simply raise the price." He went on to relate
the story of showing a painting in New York for $2,000 where it didn't
sell. So he moved to another gallery in New York and raised the price
to $4,000. It still didn't sell. He moved it to a Santa Fe gallery and
raised the price to $6,000. It still didn't sell. Finally, he
exhibited the painting at a show in Oklahoma and raised the price to
$10,000.....and it sold.

How can this be? We've all heard about the "laws" of supply and
demand.....but those laws just don't seem to apply to art.....or indeed
other luxury items.


Expensive Wine Just Tastes Better"


-------------------


Thanks Clint!

Now this word, "luxury".

An english word defined as follows:

luxury (plural luxuries)

1. very wealthy and comfortable surroundings.
2. something desirable but expensive.
3. something very pleasant but not really needed in life.

[edit] Translations

very wealthy and comfortable surroundings[hide]

Croatian: luksuz (hr) m. Finnish: ylellisyys, luksus, loisto German: Luxus (de) m.

something desirable but expensive[hide]

Croatian: luksuz (hr) m. Finnish: ylellisyys German: Luxus (de) m.

something very pleasant but not really needed in life[hide]

Croatian: luksuz (hr) m. Finnish: ylellisyys German: Luxus (de) m.

Cybrarian's note:

Thank you to our English language for mystifying the values and purposes art serves. A luxury item indeed? Was it bad of me to make my art available at a variety of price points? Hope it didnt piss off the snobs. No disrespect. :)

The prices will keep going up as originally intended. Afterall, with all due respect to alternative economics ideals, (which we do support at Me Decor BTW), we have some things to buy too.

Unless someone barters $1-$4m worth of assets for my art. We can take the hit. Whose swingin?

The radio station office is also located in the southwestern-most sector of the building. The building is located in the southwestern corner of town.

To remedy the negative annual aspect occuring in the southwestern sector this year, I've made a close-up photo of rose stems into my computer desktop image (for their thorns and for the high-vibrational essence of rose), plus a strong female deity art piece; Het Heru is best for the southwest corner since some of Het Heru's highest expressions include social harmony, creativity, beauty and joy. According to Ra Un Nefer Amen's Metu Neter Vol I, Het Heru's spiritual direction is southwest.

Insights from the 26th hexagram of the i ching:
translation excerpt from the Compassionate Dragon Healing web site.

"Above; Mountain, stillness
Below; Heaven the creative

The creative power is subjugated to the Mountain which imposes stillness. This should be contrasted with hexagram 9 (Xiao Chu), the Power of the Weak, in the creative power is tamed by gentleness. Here, four strong lines are restrained by the two weak lines, in the positions of prince and the minister.

Perseverance brings favourable results. Subsisting away from the home and family without taking service at court, will bring good fortune. It is favourable to cross the great water. Crossing the great water symbolizes an undertaking of any kind including a trip.

This hexagram symbolizes strength and magnanimity, glory, and honour, a daily renewal of character. The firm rises, paying respect to the worth. Restraint in the exercise of power is praiseworthy. He who dines away from home is, by implication, entertaining other worth people. Great and difficult undertakings, such as crossing the wide river or the sea are successful because they accord with heaven’s will.

Heaven beneath the mountain is the symbol of the restraining force of the great. At the same time we glimpse the sky among the mountain peaks. The Superior man studies the sayings of antiquity and the deeds of heroes of the past, strengthening his innate virtue and learning to understand what is to come. "

SOUTHWEST SECTOR

(Romance, Relationships, Women, Woman of the House):

7 RED ROBBERY STAR LOCATED HERE

This sector has the violent 7 star here this year. There is a possibility for violence, robbery, or deception, theft, and gossip and slander – particularly for women of the house. Backstabbing is a big possibility. You should be especially careful if this is the sector where your back door or front door fall. If so, take extra security measures and watch all documents carefully and do not answer the door unless you know who is there.

The 7 star is also very pointed, like the blade of a knife, and has some good qualities – such as the ability to “cut through” a problem and can bring windfalls and acclaim, especially for women. This year watch as women break through and rise to greater prominence because the 7 star is in a productive location in the southwest. Women business leaders and owners will move ahead in their lives with hard work and the rewards will be generous – particularly for self-employed women, salespeople, PR people, actors, and anyone interested in starting a new career or job.

TO REMEDY: Double check all security features in your home from burglar alarms to fire alarms. Avoid loud noises, digging, or clanging. Place a picture of a deity or a religious image. Thorny plants will also help this area.
