AURA SOMA TAROT

Illustration: About

Following the Tarot the next large project was a set of twelve 'energy images' to illustrate the properties and energies of each colour in the Colour Wheel. These little abstract images then became personnified into twelve goddesses and related to the twelve signs of the Zodiac. A calendar with a beautiful gold cover was printed to celebrate the Millennium and the Book followed. Again a collector's item on Amazon! Goddesses
