The Goddesses

Renne’ Siewers

The Goddesses is an acrylic canvas print commissioned by a co-worker. The goddesses' faces are those of my co-worker’s mother, daughter, and co-worker. I repainted this canvas print wholly with acrylic, and it is different from the original.

These are three goddesses from Western African folklore. Their goddesses’ names are Yemaya, Oshun, and Oya.

Yemaya is considered the mother of all since she is the goddess of the living ocean. All life is believed to have started in the sea. Yemaya is motherly and protective of all her children, comforting them and cleansing away all their sorrows. It is thought she can cure infertility in women, and the cowrie shells symbolize her wealth. Yemaya is not easily angered, but when she does, she is destructive and intense, just like the sea during a storm.

Oshun became a popular black goddess after Beyoncé mentioned her in her Lemonade music video. Oshun originates in Yoruba, and she is the god of sweet and fresh waters. She always has a mirror to admire her beauty. Who is the African healing goddess? Oshun is revered by many for her abilities to heal the sick, foster prosperity, and bring fertility. The image of this goddess is represented by a stunning, charming, and coquettish young lady. Oshun means sweetness, joy, beauty, and good cheer.

Oya is a ferocious and protective deity worshipped by the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria and some Brazilians. Oya is the wife of Shango, the god of storms. She is the goddess of wind, thunderbolts, and fire; she can transform gentle breezes into raging hurricanes or cyclones. She is believed to accompany her husband during thunderstorms to destroy buildings, blow things up, and rip off trees.

Aerospace: The King's Payload Audio Book published - Check it out - 5 Star Rating

Check out Clare Radex: Clare Radex I'm proud to say this is my first audio book I have published Aerospace: The King's Payload on audible. It is a awesome book. The speaker is a wonderful narrator named Clare Radex. She has published over 70 books and one for Michelle Obama. Her voice is interesting and hypnotizing. She does at least eight different voices in this novel. The audio book audible is over 9 hours. After completing the book she told me she has learned so much about aerospace and loved it. When listening to Aerospace: The King's Payload, it will feel like you are in a movie. It's fast moving and gives you insight into NASA secrets throughout the industry. This is the second book of a trilogy. First is Aerospace: The Last Payload, and the last one is Aerospace: The Rebirth Payload. Renne' is working on her continuation of Aerospace: The Mars Survival Payload, which can be found on Kindle Vella for free reading of the first two chapters

Saying Goodbye to John Glenn

What a wonderful man who lived a full live full of adventure. My favorite astronaut John Glenn, died Thursday (Dec. 8) at the age of 95, flew on two space missions during his long and eventful life. Both of them set records . O n Feb. 20, 1962, Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth . On the second — the STS-95 mission of the space shuttle Discovery, which lifted off in October 1998 — he became, at 77, the oldest person to slip Earth's bonds. He performed the MECS experiment for my friend Dr. Dennis Morrison on STS-95, which is a cancer experiment being experimented at MD Anderson, Houston Texas for breast cancer. This gave me the idea to write my first novel AEROSPACE: The Last Payload about an aging astronaut going to space for the last chance of life on Earth. This book tackles the problem of what to do if an astronaut dies in space. Then came the sequel AEROSPACE: The King's Payload is about another adventure suspense novel surrounded by espionage and roman
