Cosmic Call II

Original.

Acrylic, spray paint, pencil, gold and copper leaf on canvas. Fluorescent light-fast paint has been used in the stag and this glows in black-light if desired.

In Celtic mythology, the stag is no ordinary mammal . He is the bridge between the living and the dead, the guide who leads lost souls across the veils of this world into the next. With one leap, he traverses boundaries most cannot even see, let alone cross. He appears at twilight-between day and night, life and death, waking and dream-his liminal nature etched into the ancient stories of the Celts. To encounter him is to brush against the sacred unknown.

The Stag is breathing out mystical geometric structures drawn from esoteric traditions, depicted here in shimmering gold and copper . This sacred geometry, said to be a vehicle for ascension and divine transport, floating like spiritual compasses for the journey between worlds. The sacred geometry hovers not merely as decoration but as a map of transcendence, aligning with the stag's mythic role as a guide between the seen and unseen. Its presence above the stag echoes the Celtic reverence for the triadic mind-the intuitive, the spiritual, the wild-and suggests a creature whose wisdom is ancient, encoded, and multidimensional.

The antlers themselves, like branches of the World Tree (Bile in Irish myth), stretch skyward, reaching toward the cosmos. Antlers, which are shed and regrown, symbolise resurrection and renewal, reinforcing the stag's association with death as a doorway, not an end.
