The artist discovers self through the imagination. Exploring the Artist as a magician and shape-shifter. How gender effects the way we behave and how we respond. Celebrating the divine feminine. Questioning the world and creating a new one.
Esus is a Gaulish god known from Gaulish and North African inscriptions. The most important image of this deity is that of a man chopping down a willow tree. He may be the tutelary deity of the Esuvii tribe of Gaul. Esus may be a god of the Celtic otherworld.
Esus is an archetype deity probably associated with a triple otherworld goddess. Now whether this was in martial aspect, corresponding to Mars or in healing aspect corresponding to Mercury can not be known. Though these two principles are not entirely incompatible. There is also the question of why Esus is chopping or pruning the tree unless this is something to do with the death/rebirth of the tree itself, echoing the death and rebirth of the victims sacrificed to it. It should also be noted that the willow is a significant tree in that it stands at the intersitces between realms ie it grows in marshland standing between land and water.
