I’ve wanted a Claire Lucas painting of Nanjizel for years and years. This year I decided to buy one. I thought I’d give it to ‘John’ for Christmas…. then I thought- be honest it’s for myself! Claire brought it round to the house on the winter solstice and it’s now on the wall by the front door. It’s called ‘Come On In!’ It gives me goosebumps!
Claire runs workshops for women’s empowerment during the different stages of life. Previously known as maiden, mother then crone. Now that women are living longer and not necessarily following social expectations another stage is being suggested. The sovereign age. This is when a women is not in service to anyone other than her self. I think that’s where I am. So to honour my sovereign age I gifted myself this beautiful painting.
John and I walked to Nanjizel today with our lovely friends Madeleine Williams and Alistair. Mads and I couldn’t resist a dip.
Nanjizel is a very spiritual place and we realised today that it’s right next to where the St Michael leyline enters the country. There’s certainly a magical feeling there xx
