From The Goddess Companion May 23

A detailed, vintage-style illustration of a grand cosmic goddess standing in the center of a split landscape representing the changing seasons. Her flowing robes weave together elements of the cosmos, including a swirling galaxy, the sun, moon, and planets above her head. To her left, the landscape is in spring bloom with cherry blossoms, a winding river, and flying birds. To her right, the landscape is in autumn, featuring falling orange leaves, a rain cloud, a stag, a bear, and a serpent in the dust.

On the left, an 18th-century scene shows Sir Hans Sloane presenting his massive open book and a collection of artifacts to King George II under the banner "The Bequest to the Nation," set against a backdrop of Montagu House and a large tree with deep roots. On the right, a mystical, candlelit chamber under a grand domed rotunda features an alchemist or witchy figure studying ancient scrolls, surrounded by labeled jars of botanical specimens (Mandrake, Belladonna, Witch Hazel), ritual artifacts, a crystal ball, and celestial/moon phase symbols.
