Discover the world of Art and the Sacred Feminine with the amazing Glen Rogers! In this episode, join us as we delve into Glen’s incredible body of work that intersects with ancient Goddess symbolism, HerStory themes, Women in their power and matriarchal cultures where Priestesses ruled. Glen is an internationally exhibited painter, printmaker and public sculptor. She relocated from the San Francisco Bay Area to Mexico in 2000 and currently lives in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Glen has an MFA in printmaking from San Jose State University. Glen’s artwork includes large scale public art/sculptor pieces, paintings, mono prints, and drawings that are exhibited widely in the US and Internationally for over 40 plus years. Glen’s artwork is women-centric and inspired by the Sacred Feminine. For many years Glen has traveled to ancient sacred sites and has done artist residencies throughout the world. 

We begin by talking about Glen's early beginnings growing up in a small town in Mississippi. She studied Printmaking at University of Florida and got her Masters in Printmaking at San Jose State University. She embarked on a spiritual journey in her 20’s and then started to read books such as Merlin Stone’s: “When God was a Woman" and Rhiane Eisler’s “The Chalice and The Blade”. She had an amazing heart opening and spiritual epiphany discovering that there was a Goddess and matriarchy way before patriarchy. This informed her spiritual life as well as her artistic career as well. She then moved to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico which has a thriving artistic and creative community and a special place for Women especially those in their Crone years. Glen talks about how she and other women creative’s work and beings are valued in San Miguel, MX.

Once Glen started reading about Goddess Spirituality and the Sacred Feminine, she had an intense desire to travel to different neolithic and paleolithic sites and walk in the footsteps of the Goddess. She took photos and sketches and immersed herself in these sacred sites from all over the world. The power of those ancient sites that were places of Goddess worship expresses itself through Glen’s art/ imagery and can be felt when looking at her art. Glen says her art is inspired by the Sacred Feminine and her hope is that her work inspires and empowers others. It has a meditative and mystical quality that runs through her prints, paintings, drawings and sculptor. She hopes people will look at her art and use item as portals for meditation or mysticism and feel the divine feminine energy  which is one of the reasons she wrote, designed  and published her books and oracle decks.

Glen chats about her most recent artist residency in Malta and talks about the underground temple called the Hypogeum which is the only known prehistoric wall paintings in Malta, consisting of spiral and honeycomb patterns in red ochre pigment. Excavations yielded a wealth of Great Mother figures artifacts including the famous "Sleeping Lady" figurine,  A small side chamber on the middle level, known as the "Oracle Room," has unique acoustic properties that produces a powerful resonance suggesting its possible  use for rituals or ceremonies.  Glen was shocked that in these ancient sites and museums in Malta there was never any mention of the Goddess. Talk about suppressed histories! She was never
