about

“Voice of the Ancestors” is the 3rd segment of my “Shamanic Trilogy”. With great reverence, I have chosen to illustrate the album with the crone Goddess, “Selene” – a creation of the late, legendary visionary artist, Susan Seddon Boulet. I spoke with Ms. Seddon Boulet in 1989 when I asked her to illustrate the 1st segment of this Triple Goddess series, “Shaman Journey”. She was unable to accept the commission as she was just beginning her treatment for breast cancer. Susan Seddon Boulet joined the Ancestors in 1997 and it is an honor to have her “voice” included with this work.
