Mermaids, Flying Women, and the Rice Goddess
Dewi Sri
| Mermaid mythology or the fertility goddess can
be found in every culture. So it seems that women have been worshipped in every
form even to this day. We'll stick to wood carvings from Indonesia where we
found a fanciful blend of female fertility goddess and the Cornish merrymaid.
The Hindu deity of Dewi Sri inspired these carvings -- a perfect example of a
modern mix of mythologies. To me it's all about magic transformation and getting
the job done or an elaborate procrastination fantasy. Fly away! Photo of Mermaid |
