GATHER THE WOMEN
ANGEL GODDESS

by Michelle Soule

I am made of earth, air, fire and water. 
Made of clay from the earth, sculpted by hand with great intention and angelic cooperation,
I am then raku fired to harden and temper and give the uniquely beautiful metallic green coloration.  Then Michelle embellishes my body with gemstones (used for tens of thousands of years for their beauty and healing powers), gold leaf and feathers.  I arise proud and strong as a symbol of all women, all “angel goddesses”.  

My body is proud and voluptuous,
perfectly formed to fit in the hand. 
There is a gold flow of energy going up through
all the chakras, front and back. 
And gemstones:  at the ground there is
turquoise for grounding and protection. 
Then amethyst bringing trust and peace. 
Amber gives healing, balance and manifestation.  Rose quartz brings the energy of gentle
love and hope. 
Then garnet for health and inner commitment.  Jade is the “dream stone”,
followed by pearl at the third eye,
seeing deep truth. 
At my crown is citrine for abundance and creativity, and a peacock feather symbolizing sacred rebirth.

I rise from, and rest in, a shimmering “basket” of your prayers, hopes and intentions. 
The green color symbolizes rebirth and renewal.  Amber graces the basket with healing, balance, manifestation and grounding. 
Golden hearts speak of the Divine Love
that is our core,
and of  “Gather the Women”
that I represent.
