Opening Witches Poetry Art Gallery

I proudly announce the opening of the Witches Poetry Art Gallery.

Finally after three years the Witches Poetry Art Collection is up again, and new works have been added. With the opening of this gallery, all galleries on the art sim Body, Mind & Spirit are now up and running.

Zena Zemlja, poet, artist, art gallery owner.

The last two galleries to open were quite a special process to me, which you can read about in my previous post as well. Both my Mystic and Witches Poetry, like all my poems, are written straight from my heart, and they are about believing in the magic and miracles of life. Something I did not really believe in anymore last year, because of events in my RL. 

The Witches Poetry Art Gallery by the Old Oak

With the help of friends and family, I began to see light at the end of the tunnel, and I dared to start dreaming again. It was then that I dared to believe in my own poetry again as well. So if you are in that dark place that I talk about, then know there is a light at the end of your tunnel too. Keep walking. Take a deep breath and keep walking. You will get there. You will.

Zena in front of her gallery

I hope sharing my poems with you may lift up your spirit and help you dare to dream the life you want to create from deep within. Miracles do exist. 
For those who dare to believe. 

 The Witches Poetry Art Gallery by the Old Oak

My mystic poetry is for everyone. My witches poetry in this gallery might be best understood by those with an interest in the wiccan and pagan way of life. But most poems are written from this witches' heart in words that I think everyone will understand. 

Moon Editions First Floor

The poem 'The Witches' Guide' and 'To be a witch' are both about what it means to me to be a witch. You find both poems, illustrated with a moon, on first floor of the gallery. They come in several colors, and are available as framed wall art or meditationmats. 

Wall art and mediationmats

The Witches Blessings series are five short poems about Wicca sayings and Wicca blessings, expressing what they mean to me. I have used a pressed leaves texture as a background to write them on and they are available in a coloured series as well as a black series, either as framed wall art or as mediationmats.

Witches Blessings poems

Next to the entrance you will find two group gifts, of which one is a free picks gift of the Witches' Guide written on Parchment, and the other one is a dollarbie welcome gift mediationmat with the poem 'To be a witch' on a green leaf. 

Gifts near the entrance

On second floor you find the poems Witches' Guide and 'To be a witch' in a more adult version, illustrated with a dark sensual witch, photography by Marcus Ranum. Thank you, Marcus!

Adult Editions Second Floor

The other two artworks on second floor are illustrated with photography by Marcus Ranum as well: 'Light of Justice', and my latest work 'After Her Own Image'.

Newest poetry second floor

Outside of the gallery you find a poetry artwork on an easel, called 'The Goddess Within'. It tells about what the Goddess means to me. The poem is illustrated with a wonderful painting of the Goddess Isis by Samuel Edelstein.
Thank you, Samuel!

The Goddess Within

Outside of the gallery you also find several series of steppingstones, one with 'to be a witch' written in stone, available in five colors, and a series of mystical blessings written on multicoloured leaves. All steppingstones are available in regular or giant sizes.

Poetry Steppingstones

I also made you a series of the Wicca Blessings on steppingstones in five colours. Last but not least you can take home the Witches' Guide written in a pentacle on a carpet with 5 meditation animations to meditate on with your friends, also available as a solo mat, both come in six colors. 

Wicca Blessings, Poetry rugs and mats

You also find two series Giant steppingstones on the path from sim landingpoint to the Stonehenge Classroom up the hill.

Opening Mystic Poetry Art Gallery

This weekend the Mystic Poetry Art Gallery opens its doors again after a period of three years. It has been that long for me to move all my galleries from the previous sim, and my mystic poetry collections have not been up since. 


New Mystic Poetry Art Gallery

I first started opening the galleries of other artists on my new sim, back in 2011. Four galleries with my poetry collections were to open as well, and I did manage to open two of them in 2011. Now there are two more left and it is quite a miracle to me that I finally can open the doors of my new Mystic Poetry Art Gallery.  

Zena

Because this is a gallery with spiritual poems so very dear to me. I wrote them to lift up my own spirit when I was down in life. Writing always made me bounce back again. But last year some rl events caused me to stop believing in my dreams. 
So I stopped dreaming. 

Sunset at Art Galleries Body, Mind & Spirit

When you stop dreaming, your world becomes a really dark place to be. 
Fortunately I have some wonderful loved ones in my life that lighted a candle for me. 
Even the darkest darkness will be lightened by the smallest candlelight. 

Sunrise at Art Galleries Body, Mind & Spirit

So even if I may have lost some of my dreams, I now decided I can make new ones. 
If I can make new dreams, you can do too. If I can start believing again, you can too. 

Poems Believe, The Road, Miracle
First Floor

I know I still have a long road to go. But some day I will get there. 
My poetry says so :)

Poems Letting go, The Silver Track
Second Floor 

New poems and a quote by MLK have been added to my collection. 
You can find them on second floor of the gallery.

Poem Secret Place, and Faith Quote MLK

Gallerie OhLaLa !

Art Galleries Body, Mind & Spirit proudly presents the opening of Gallerie OhLaLa !


For the first time in its history, Body, Mind & Spirit has given home to two talented Second Life Photographers, Ainsworth Gastel and Sacha Audeburgh.

   

 Ainsworth is a renowned SL photographer for many years already in Second Life. 
Photography is his passion in both his first life and his second life and it shows in his photos. 
He captures the moment and make the images come alive. 
His work is art with a soul, with a sensual, erotic, kinky and mystical touch.

   

Sacha is a new SL photographer who's talent is discovered by Ainsworth. 
Her work shows some of his influence but with her clear own signature. 
The sensuality and spirituality in her work makes you look at the same photo over and over again.
