ARTIST: Kore Evohe
Entitled: Phoenix SpringWater

ABOUT THE COVER ART:
Each year, the Goddess Kore spends the nine warm months with her mother Demeter and three cold months in the Underworld. When Kore rises in the Spring at the Equinox, the Earth, along with her mother rejoices at her return, blossoming in celebration. And when Kore departs in Winter, the snows cover the ground and all is still and quiet while the Goddess dreams.
 
This painting was inspired from a song from the Winter Solstice Singing Service that is performed annually at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane, Washington. (Words and music by John Schrag, based on a chant by Sabina C. Becker, ritual composed by Julie Forest Middeleton and Stasa Morgan-Appel.)
