As soon as my Great Mother Goddess was finished she made it known that she wanted a consort.



What would he look like?  I think of him as a fertility god, one who brings sun and water. 

​

While my Great Mother is composed in a circle at arm’s height, this god is composed on a square diamond shape, for I think of the male element as pushing out in many directions.  At the top is a noon and solstice sun, directly over head, sending life giving warmth.  At the bottom of the diamond the sun is setting, partly within the diamond and partly on the horizon beyond the diamond’s borders.  In between are fruit trees in their spring cycle, growing leaves and making buds.​

Below the diamond, below the horizon in the land that is sometimes considered death, is a chasm where the god’s life giving waters descend through his body into an aquifer.  Instead of legs and feet this god has streams of water that flow beside and into the ground. On each side we see the strong roots of the fruit trees beneath the ground.

 Somehow I knew he needed horns and was a yearly god, someone like Osirus who births and dies yearly, bringing fertility to the land and its creatures.
​


The horns had their own evolutionary process.  They started out  as a piece of eucalyptus bark, an OK beginning but more was needed.  Next came Mercury type wings as horns.  There were red and again OK but still more was needed.  Finally I made some antelope type copper color horns and we, the God and I were satisfied. 

The God’s face is made of a salmon lace like material which has fringe that reminds me of a mask with beard of either man or goat.
