Description
9x12, oil on canvasby Sebastian Haines, 2011
My renditions of the Decan Faces of the Zodiac are ultimately derived from the Picatrix, though I have drawn from various modifications found in sources between now and the 13th century of our common era. The backgrounds are my own embellishment, which I consider to be part of the creative meditation.
From Picatrix , Chapter 11, Pingree's Latin version:
"Et ascendit in secunda facie Arietis mulier viridibus pannis induta et una tibia carens. Et hec facies est altitudinis, nobilitatis, precii et regni. Et hec est eius forma."
