The Story Behind the Art

Steps lead down into the cellar. Your path is lit by demijohns of wine and jars with suspicious contents. In the candlelight, gold coins and spiderwebs shimmer. In the darkness, you are touched by kind hands—perhaps those of a grandmother, Mother Earth herself, or the Black Madonna. A single misstep and you could fall into bottomless marshes. At a small table with a bottle of wine and a crystal ball, the Moon in Scorpio awaits—your healer, reminding you of the shadow you rejected simply because it displeased others. In doing so, you deprived yourself of many precious gifts. The stairs lead even deeper, perhaps to the very core of the Earth. On every level of the cellar, you can meet your ancestors and understand how their stories have shaped your life. Here, you can unravel the knots of pain, anger, and hatred that bind you. You will also find your long-forgotten dreams. You are fully permitted to bring them into the light and make them real.

Hidden Details to Discover

Beyond its other meanings, the Moon’s position in a horoscope represents one's ideal of home. Therefore, the artist has placed the Moon of each zodiac sign into a room that best captures its inner nature and brings a sense of comfort. The magical Moon in Scorpio is depicted in her element: a mysterious cellar.
