The Forgetting

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: The Forgetting depicts as you grow up, social norms, cultural conditioning, and fear of judgment teach you to shrink, hide, or suppress those early intuitive gifts. The witch wound become unconscious: you forget your intuitive authority and start to doubt your instincts. Over time, the clarity of the wild witching dims, leaving behind emotional residue like self-doubt, people-pleasing, and fear of standing out. 

Crystals: 

Obsidian: Mirror of the Deep - Born of volcanic flame and ancient shadow, obsidian is a stone of truth, protection, and inner reckoning. It reflects what lies beneath the surface—unspoken fears, untapped strength—with clarity and courage. A grounding force in uncertain terrain, it invites you to face the dark and emerge whole.

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.

Tourmaline: Steadfast Guardian - Long adored as a talisman of protection, Black Tourmaline is like a cosmic sponge. It brings a whimsical sort of grounding, its shadowy sheen and natural striations lending the piece both quiet strength and a hint of enchantment, as though the stone itself delights in keeping watch.

Citrine: Light, Captured - Golden as morning and warm with promise, citrine carries the energy of sunlit joy and fearless abundance. A stone of manifestation and radiant will, it clears the shadows and calls the soul forward. In its presence, creativity flows—and the world answers yes.
