I LOVE THIS!

I never get tired of seeing beautiful, plus sized women represented in art and as a Snake Goddess myself, this one is especially amazing.

Corchen, art by Bryan Crowson. Feb. 9, 2020.

In the misty sunrise of an ancient land, the Celtic snake goddess Corchen feels the sun on her skin and the wind in her hair. The memory of her name fades in the passing centuries upon centuries like a vanishing dream, yet her beauty and power is born anew in every woman who rises from the Earth.

The Celtic snake goddess Corchen is so ancient, so shrouded in the mysteries of deep time, that little is known about her. Who was she, this nearly forgotten goddess? Whisper her name with caution, since the wise no longer know if she was loved or feared. Perhaps she was a daughter of the Sumerian serpent god Ningizzida, and she traveled north to the icy lands of the Celts. Maybe she was a cousin of the Egyptian snake goddess Wadjet, and she roamed the seas until she found the lost people of the north. She could have been the sister of the Minoan snake goddess who watched over the great civilization of the Mediterranean Sea. As a snake goddess, it is fitting that her name is born anew in the bright light of day, after her long sleep in the dim forest of stories.

My friend Taylor Rickel modeled as Corchen, with her pet snake Severus posing as the divine serpent.
