The goddess & poet...

 Sketches for the goddess & poet
 ....She is about love & protection
  Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; 
and "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another"
 .....She is about truth
  Codex Alimentarius (Latin for "Book of Food") 
Still a subject of considerable controversy... 
... a proposal that no herb, vitamin or mineral should be sold for preventive or therapeutic reasons, 
and that supplements should be reclassified as drugs. 
The proposal was agreed, but protests halted its implementation.

 ...the yin ... yang
...a belief that there exist two complementary forces in the universe. 
One is Yang which represents everything positive or masculine 
and the other is Yin which is characterized as negative or feminine. 
One is not better than the other. 
Instead they are both necessary and a balance of both is highly desirable.
Yin is soft while Yang is hard. Yin is stillness while Yang is movement. 
The sun is yang while the moon is yin. Female is Yin while Man is Yang. 
Mountain is Yin while the river is Yang. Intuitive is Yin while Logical is Yang. 
Winter is Yin while Summer is Yang.

Tracey-anne, transfer....

Lifebook art update

I am still waiting via snail (royal mail - UK) mail for pens to arrive 
so here are my works in progress pics (WIP's).


This process was great fun, using gel matt medium to transfer
a photocopy image onto watercolour paper.
 Neo watercolour crayons,
Derwent watercolour pencils, & glaze medium to add colour to collage.

I used castles in my hair to represent my interest in folklore
& the ideas that I create usually have some connection with this area.

It would be special to make some of friends and family
- what a great present idea!

love,peace & light

Life Book & The Law of Attraction - sub laws

Power Law of Attraction

Hi everyone, 
while working on the new fab online class  'Lifebook' By TAM,


 I found myself reverting back to how thoughts become things 
- The law of attraction.
While scrolling the net to look for inspiration, 
I found these extra laws for attraction
I especially loved the sub laws
& felt the overwhelming need to share :0)


The 12 Universal Laws plus 
21 Sub-Laws to Living a Magical Life


What we think about we bring about, our thoughts become things.  
All of our thoughts, feelings, 
words and actions are producing energy which in turn attract like energies and things into our lives.  
Negative or Positive like attracts like.    

The Law of Attraction is also known as the Law of Love ♥

Here are the other universal laws, master these ones too :0) 


1 ~ The Law of Divine Oneness

We live in a world where everything and everyone is connected to everything and everyone else.
Every single thing we are doing, saying, thinking and believing effects others around us as well
as the universe we are part of.   We are all connected.

2 ~ The Law of Vibration

Everything single thing in our universe moves, vibrates and travels in circular motions.
These very same principles of vibration apply in our physical world through our thoughts,
feelings and desires.
Everything has it’s own vibrational frequency from sounds, to things and even our thoughts.
Your vibration will attract like vibrations to you.

3 ~ The Law of Action

To see the Law of Attraction in Action we must take inspired action.
To manifest the things we desire we must engage in actions which support our desires as well as our thoughts, dreams, emotions and words.

4 ~ The Law of Correspondence

As Above, So Below.  Energy, Light, Vibration and Motion all have their corresponding principles.  Everything on the physical plane has a corresponding principle out there in the universe.

5 ~ The Law of Cause & Effect

Nothing ever happens by chance.  We reap what we sow, every action has a reaction and consequence.  What we put out there we get back.  Karma….

6 ~ The Law of Compensation

As for the Law of Cause and Effect what we put out we get back by way of abundance in all area’s.  
By helping others and taking positive actions great things will come back into our lives.
We will be compensated for our good deeds, give your heart and soul to everything.

7 ~ The Law of Attraction

What we think about we bring about, our thoughts become things.
All of our thoughts, feelings, words and actions are producing energy which in turn attract like energies
and things into our lives.
Negative or Positive like attracts like.  
The Law of Attraction is also known as the Law of Love ♥


8  ~ The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy (The What?????)

Simply put, everyone has the ability within them to transform their life.
We can do this by understanding these universal laws and changing our energy.  It’s up to us to do it!

9 ~ The Law of Relativity

Everyone has challenges! We are all given challenges for a reason, opportunities to learn and grow.
These challenges are sent to strengthen our inner light.
The law also wants us to  look at other peoples challenges and problems worse than ours so we can gain perspective.  It’s all relative.

10 ~ The Law of Polarity

Everything has a polar opposite good or bad.  
This is the Contrast and Clarity, when you know what you don’t want in turn you know what you do want.  Focus on the Good things you want.

11 ~ The Law of Rhythm

Everything moves and vibrates to certain rhythms.
This can be seasons, cycles, stages of our development and patterns happening in the universe.
We need to stay in flow throughout these rhythms of life.

12 ~ The Law of Gender

Yin & Yang.  Everything and everyone has feminine and masculine principles and energies,
this is how creation happens in the universe.
We must all find the balance between the two to master our lives.


There are also 21 Sub-Laws which relate to the human characteristics 
we should embody in our lives ~

Aspiration to A Higher Power
Charity
Compassion
Courage
Dedication
Faith
Forgiveness
Generosity
Grace
Honesty
Hope
Joy
Kindness
Leadership
Non-interference
Patience
Praise
Responsibility
Self-Love
Thankfulness
Unconditional Love ♥
Master Your Life 

With Positive Vibes & Love,

By Liz ♥
