"Crows of the Sacred Triad" invites viewers into a realm where the mystical intertwines with the mundane, creating an enigmatic tableau that echoes ancient traditions and hidden truths. This mesmerizing illustration, rendered in gouache on handmade cotton paper measuring 12 by 14 inches, captures the ethereal presence of three women cloaked in the resonance of sacred rituals and whispered secrets.

Standing together in a tight-knit formation, the central figure dons a luminous orange robe, complemented by a ceremonial blue outer garment—embodying the Mother archetype in her nurturing radiance. Beside her, the accompanying figures are draped in elegant blue robes, with glimpses of white undergarments shimmering beneath—the inner light of the Maiden’s purity and the Crone’s wisdom. Their hoods cast delicate shadows over their faces, barely concealing the dark tresses that flow like whispers of forgotten lore. The raised arms of these enigmatic figures seem to beckon a communion with the dark birds—the crows or ravens—that weave and dance through the air around them.

The backdrop is a muted symphony of greens and blues, subtly invoking the serenity and raw power of untamed nature. This atmospheric composition fuses elements of the sacred with the magic of the wild, rendering a scene both somber and transcendent. Bound by a deep, shared intimacy, the figures embody the rich tapestry of traditions that blend Christian and pagan elements, and the timeless archetypes of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone. They capture a moment that hovers between worlds, inviting viewers to explore the hidden depths and subtle energies that permeate the scene.
