Threads and Red Threads weave themselves throughout stories in ancient history. This painting is in dedication to the Greek Myth of a woman who became a Goddess and her tale of Ariadnes Thread.

One of the most well-known myths involving Ariadne centres around her role in helping Theseus defeat the Minotaur. Her father, King Minos, demanded that Athens send tributes to Crete to be sacrificed to the Minotaur, a fearsome creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull, confined in a complex labyrinth. Theseus, an Athenian hero, volunteered to kill the beast and end the suffering of his people.

Captivated by Theseus, Ariadne gave him a ball of thread—now famously referred to as ‘Ariadne's Thread’—so he could find his way out of the labyrinth after defeating the Minotaur. Thanks to Ariadne's quick thinking, Theseus was able to slay the creature and escape the maze.

Ariadne’s Red Thread is the red river, the red stream of consciousness woven into our blood. It is the inseparable connection between us and the roots of all that ever was and will become. Like an umbilical cord that delivers sustenance to the womb of the Great Mother, to the womb of Source.

When we feel lost, separate, afraid, severed and disconnected from the truth of our bodies, our Earth, our humanity, our divinity, and the real, we have simply forgotten that the red thread always waits for us to reclaim the power that will guide each of us home to truth.

The Red Thread of Belonging is the secret of Feminine intuition and the ability to find your way back to Source, Belonging, the Great Mother.
