2015 Tree Spirit Study II
Growing up in Africa was a privilige.
I was incredibly blessed to have so many strong
women around me, and even more so, some
real men who could appreciate them.
However, it was not Utopia. There were/are
more men who don‘t appreciate the Significance of
Women, or the Feminine, and, there are even
women, who look upon it as weakness, instead of
Virtue.
I was raised to believe or see Earth as a Living Being,
as Mother Earth.
Our Mother instilled this deep awe & respect for
Mother Earth in my Brother & I.
A copy of Chief Seattle‘s Treaty Oration hung in our

Our Grandfather came from the „Einstein
Generation“, and he had an overwhelming respect
for Life in all forms!
As Einstein once said,
„There are two ways to live your Life:
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.“
I seek a Path to make our presence here, admired
and appreciated!…

INSPIRATION & INSIGHT
Documentary describing the life of the
late Irish druid, Ben McBrady.
Ben McBrady, known as Brady of the
Name and Herenach of the Two Kilmores,
was Aircinneac and Herenach of a
pre-Druid Megalithic Order called
“The Old Gaelic Order,” often referred
to simply as “The Order.”
Ben McBrady is believed to have been
the last member of “The Old Gaelic Order.”
Because of this he was called
“The Last Druid.”
He passed away in January of 1996.
Ben McBrady was a descendant of
Lugar MacLugair (Lughaid mac Loeguire),
who was Chief Druid of Ireland and Druid
to the High King Leary and the Kings of
Leinster. Lugar MacLugair was also
believed to have been a member of
“The Old Gaelic Order.”

„Bastet is the Egyptian goddess of the home, domesticity, women's secrets, cats, fertility, and childbirth.
She protected the home from evil spirits and disease, especially diseases associated with women and
children.
As with many Egyptian deities, she also played a role in the afterlife as a guide and helper to the dead
although this was not one of her primary duties. She was the daughter of the sun god Ra and is associated
with the concept of the Eye of Ra (the all-seeing eye) and the Distant Goddess
(a female deity who leaves Ra and returns to bring transfromation).“

This is the best in depth overview of the
archetypal story of the
Feminine Divine as revealed to and through
Leigh J McCloskey's art, deep wisdom,
and storytelling.
Leigh begins by exploring his actor's life and
his personal journey as an artist into the story
of creativity and the theatre of the psyche.
He explores the female archetypes of his
Tarot ReVisioned* drawings and book as an
introduction to the meaning and implication
of the Feminine Divine and the
Art of Creation.
This sets the imaginative ground for the
revelation of his "painted cave" and library
studio, The Hieroglyph of the Human Soul
(acronym: THOTHS) that he began to paint
on 9-11-01 as a spontaneous creative
epiphany.
He shares the beauty and implication of the
Great Mother, Sophia, the hidden and veiled
goddess within woman Lilith, and her
relationship to Eve,
the Mother of Generation and womanhood.
Take an imaginative journey with
Leigh J. McCloskey as he retells the story of
Genesis through art and creation reminding
us that we are returning home after a very
long journey across vast ages and that
humankind and all of creation is a work of art
and a thing of beauty and meaning.
