I am the Sensual Sea is my Legendary Muse, great ancient spirit of the Ocean. Her consort and spirit guide is the octopus. in this depiction she presents herself as a twin tailed mermaid yet like the octopus she is a "shape shifter" who can travel between the worlds. In the ancient Hawaiian creation chant of 2012 lines, the octopus is born in the 8th era and is considered a divinity. From an analysis of the lines of the Kumulipo by two anthropologists it is interpreted that the octopus was the sole survivor of a previous era and was able to "escape" by squeezing through the world that was destroyed and into the new world, that was being birthed. A creature of extraordinary consciousness the octopus and this Sea Priestess travel together. Both are symbols of protection and mystical abilities who seemed to have arrived on my canvas at the perfect synchronistic time in this Covidian Era. They both have wisdom and vision from the world that is dissolving and the world that is being birthed. The Sea Priestess wears an oyster shell, symbol of the YONI at her throat chakra.
