This altar is dedicated to Mother Mary as she was venerated in Ephesus, Turkey. The place where she is said to have lived her final years beside John and Mary Magdalene. In that ancient city, once devoted to the goddess Artemis, Mary became the living bridge between the divine feminine and the rising faith of Christ. She is mother and mystic, creator and mourner, the quiet center that holds life and death in her arms. Her hair flows like history, her golden crown glows with lineage.
Sit with this altar when you need to return to softness, when you want to remember that strength can be tender, and that creation and loss are threads of the same cloth.
