Outsourcing

Acrylic on Canvas, with real crystals (see below for meaning). 

Dimensions: 16 inch diameter.

This series of paintings is based on Taylor Paige's teachings of Healing the Witch Wound. 

As Taylor explains in her workshop: Outsourcing of Power represents that once the remembering fades, many people begin relying on external validation, teachers, authorities, or belief systems to feel safe or competent. This outsourcing stabilizes anxiety temporarily but reinforces the idea that your intuition alone isn't enough. 

Crystals: 

Onyx: Keeper of the Midnight Gate - Onyx is the cool, collected friend who never loses their composure—shiny, silky, and just a touch enigmatic. Long regarded as a stone of inner strength and guardianship, Onyx carries the weight of old magic—calming turmoil, absorbing stray energies, and anchoring the soul to its strongest self.

Rose Quartz: The Heart Remembers - Soft as a whispered promise, rose quartz radiates the quiet strength of love in all its forms. A balm for the heart and a beacon for compassion, it opens us to tenderness, forgiveness, and the deep, ancient knowing that love is the true healer. In its glow, the soul exhales.

Amethyst: Vision in Violet - A stone of seers and sages, amethyst invites stillness, clarity, and connection to the unseen. Said to open the third eye and soothe the spirit, it has long been a companion on journeys inward and upward. Let its violet glow remind you: intuition is an art, and peace is a practice.

Red Jasper: Blood of the Earth - Steeped in ancient strength and quiet endurance, red jasper grounds the spirit like roots in sacred soil. It is a stone of protection, resilience, and primal wisdom—reminding us that stillness can be powerful, and presence is its own kind of armor. Walk with it, and walk steady.
