Our blog-along beings today (in no particular order) with the beautifully rich and spiritually grounded in mother earth images of Meinrad Craighead. When I first saw Meinrad's images I was deeply intrigued and felt a profound connection, its like stepping into her dreamtime which is both personal and universal.

If you want to know more about her work, or to read some of her writings that accompany her work, "
Crow, Mother and the Dog God" is the book that I have and love, covering several of her phases and including some of her prose.

I am going to second Kathy as I have never heard of Meinrad Craighead before this post either but I will be doing some investigating into her as well and I'm going to pop on over and check out her book as well. I'm going to be a day behind as it is only the 13th here but I'll be posting as soon as the midnight hour hits.
