By Michael Richardson
20th in a Goddess Series, painting 30 paintings in 30 days.
Harmonia was the Goddess of Harmony and Concord. Late Greek and Roman writers sometimes portrayed her as harmony in the more abstract sense : a deity presiding over the cosmic harmony.
She is known in myth mainly as a daughter, wife, and mother. Harmonia was the child of two illustrious Greek gods - Aphrodite and Ares. Although this pair of deities were not married to each other, the result of their ongoing involvement was the love child, the lovely and charming Harmonia.
I painted the Goddess Harmonia as a symmetrical, 8 pointed star. There are many cultures on the earth that have different meanings of the 8 pointed star. If you want to study more, go to this website: http://mysteryoftheiniquity.com/2014/01/14/the-8-pointed-star-symbol/
Also, the black and white 'wings' on the bottom portion of her torso going up all the way to the top morph into many things--the galaxy, the solar system, the earth, the moon or any of the other symbols, the circle or the arch of which both are the most perfect symbols of harmony.
Harmonia is the most shimmery goddess. I remembered her parents, so I portray the different sides that live in harmony within. She has a crown which lines up with and has the 5 of the aligned planets from Jan. 20th to Feb. 20th 2016. From left to right: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter. Saturn in the middle, perfectly aligns on the top of her celestial 'crown' with the rings of Saturn. The Crown Chakra is also aligned perfectly in the center of her headdress. You can see many other symbols in the art by opening of your senses. This art came to me through meditation and some visions. As I thought about harmony and what it means to me, I was delighted to work it out so the number eight star, the Chakras, the 5 planets aligned. There are pyramids on top and bottom if you look closely. When two points balance like a pyramid (one right side up and the other upside down) there is incredible balance and harmony. The melody or waves of a song can also be tuneful, melodious or melodic but also congruous, balanced and compatible--free from disagreement or dissent.
I want that kind of harmony, peace, and balance--not just for myself, but for everyone.
