Description Think not that I have come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword.
For all have had me sacrificed, out of hope to bring salvation
I shall then return as in other form
cry your wails, that I may bring forth doom upon this land
For I come to set men against their own
Through my sacrifice, the curse may preserve


All right, I just need to straighten things up about what this picture means (since I'm a lame poet. LOL).
What inspired me in the first place to come with this image, was the discourse of Female Jesus. I heard it first time by an ex-priest Ioanes Rakhmat, who then being accused of making blasphemy by the christian church back then. The discourse offers the image of Jesus who "feeds the world through her holy breasts". More like a motherly figure and closer to being a goddess archetype in paganic belief before Abrahamic took the role and suddenly women are gateways to sin and whatnot.

Mix it all up, I came up with a figure of a broken maiden wearing the thorn crown of suffering, a ceremonial dagger of sacrifice, with the wound on her wrist (just like Jesus had), fairish wings of rebirth, red roses on her feet (like we all see in Virgin Mary's images), and the doom of revenge itself all around her. And of course, the maiden was made to fit the image of Eve, with red hair (and the bigotic calling of red-heads as devil-possessed humanbeings? You got the idea) and the Jesus-like standing pose.

Sacrifice, rebirth, and revenge.

Even without the lovely words below you art, you've made, in my opinion, a poetic picture in itself. The Branching wings, her stance, its all very beautiful and flows together like your words do. Very nice
