Tree of Life Goddess

Growth. Sustenance. Rebirth. Renewal.

Sprung from the Earth, she is the spirit of growth, insight and sustenance. Her branches stretch to the heavens, her roots penetrate the dark humus, and her leaves create the air we breathe; thus she is the Tree of Life itself. In this shape we can venerate her as Artemis, as Gaia, as the healing power of our Planetary Mother. Her forests grace the back of this beautiful "Turtle Island." Among her branches, the Snake of rebirth and renewal uncoils from its sacred spiral in the ever-changing cycle.
