This painting was all about the triskelion moon (three-legged spiral) for the first 20 layers or so of the creative process (Yup! A lot of paint and energy channeling inform what you see now).

Then it happened.  

I felt it. Firefly energy.

I’ve never connected to that energy in the studio before, although I remember a spectacular evening in the rice fields of Bali.

So I consulted my favourite symbolism website to confirm much of what I’d sensed emerge from the painting itself.

Have you ever seen fireflies light up the night? It’s amazing!  It’s magical.

These little beacons of light shine, and in doing so, attract others to them.  It’s part of their mating ritual (appropriate for Valentine’s Day, right?!).

Firefly energy teaches you to shine from the inside out.

No matter what you look like or what your life is like, when you connect to the Spirit within, your Light illuminates the world and those around you.

Fireflies are also symbols of hope, energy, creativity, guidance, inspiration, attraction, and more.

Let your inner Light guide you into being and acting in ways that are aligned with your Highest Good.

Firefly energy is amplified in this painting by the luminary presence of the moon shining bright through the colours of the forest.

She invites you to connect to the Oneness of which you are a microcosm.

Unlike the firefly, however, the moon’s light doesn’t come from within.

She mirrors the light of the sun- receiving it and sharing it in turn with the Universe.

So yes, connect to your inner Light.

But also mirror and reflect the Light from Source, Mother Nature, your team of Divine Helpers, and your fellow human beings.  

By witnessing and receiving their Light, which amplifies your own, you can then share it for the Highest Good of the planet and the Universe.

Once again, I thank the Irish artist Courtney Davis for allowing me to use the drawings from his book “Knotwork & Spirals” as the basis for this Celtic design.

The triskele, or triple spiral, is a symbol of both the active and passive. Here, it’s a reminder to balance your being and doing.

As a symbol of motion, it also beckons you forward through the cycles of your Life Path, much as the moon influences the cycles of the oceans.

“Night of the Firefly” is your invitation to be a lightworker through love and self-love, in body, mind, and spirit, so that you can illuminate your own life and the lives of those around you. Can you feel its energy?

P.S. When the light shines on the glass beads of the moon and trees from a certain angle, the colours radiate in a most brilliant way.
