The Blue Guide

The image portrays a mythic male figure with a muscular torso, painted in vibrant, swirling strokes of color—reds, blues, golds, and greens—like the body itself is made of elemental forces. His face is solemn and wise, framed by long hair and a full beard. From his head spiral two large ram horns, textured and powerful, evoking ancient strength and astrological symbolism. He holds a staff in one hand, and at its top radiates a glowing burst of light—like a star or divine signal. Behind his shoulders, two celestial bodies hover: • On the left: A radiant blue starburst, emitting beams of light in all directions. It feels like a beacon of clarity or cosmic memory. • On the right: A darkened orb with a reddish hue—this is the solar eclipse, representing the Virgo eclipse of September 21-22, 2025. It glows subtly, as if the sun is being reborn behind the veil of shadow. The background includes faint architectural columns, suggesting ancient temples or crumbling systems. The figure stands between these celestial forces, embodying both memory and emergence. 🌑 Symbolic Synopsis – Virgo Solar Eclipse & Capricorn Rising Tomorrow’s Virgo Solar Eclipse marks a moment of sacred refinement. • The right side, where the eclipse hovers, symbolizes the old structure breaking down—systems of control, outdated rituals, and rigid expectations dissolving into shadow. • The new moon energy rising behind the eclipse brings clarity, embodiment, and ritualized care. Virgo’s precision meets Capricorn’s ascent, urging us to rebuild with intention. • The figure, standing between these forces, becomes a guardian of transition—holding the staff of discernment, wearing the horns of legacy, and embodying the structured torso of rising energy. This is not destruction—it’s refinement through release. The eclipse doesn’t erase the past; it composts it, so something more mythically aligned can grow.

This is for all of us— even when the world feels too heavy, too broken. I wanted to create a figure that is both vulnerable and immense, a custodian who doesn’t dominate but endures. We are all stitched into the orbit of something greater. And we are all, in some way, holding it together.

A stitched arm extends toward the cosmos, cradling Earth like a fragile relic. The figure—neither god nor man—embodies the tension between power and repair. Red and blue hues pulse through the body like tectonic veins, suggesting both trauma and transcendence. In this mural, Rīkr invites us to witness the weight of stewardship in a world stitched together by memory, myth, and consequence.

🎨 ‘EYEris’ by Blue Guide (also known as Michael Richardson and Mica Rīkr) is a visually evocative piece created in 2019 that blends mysticism, introspection, and cosmic symbolism. The title itself is a clever play on “iris”—the part of the eye—and “EYE,” suggesting a deeper gaze into the soul or universe. Bright purple surrealistic art of an iris closeup with intense light in the center and highlights of fuchsia.

“When you touch the celestial in your heart, you will realize that the beauty of your soul is so pure, so vast and so devastating that you have no option but to merge with it. You have no option but to feel the rhythm of the universe in the rhythm of your heart.”

In mythology, Lilith defies submission, flees Eden, and becomes a symbol of feminine autonomy and shadow power. Her story is about:

• Rebellion against control
• Embracing the wild, untamed self
• Facing the consequences of truth and desire

This week, Black Moon Lilith—a calculated point in the Moon’s orbit representing the lunar apogee—is active in Scorpio.
This week’s celestial alignments mirror those themes: Lilith in Scorpio urges us to confront what’s hidden, reclaim power, and transform through discomfort.

#Lilith
A powerful, rebellious feminine force in mythology, that aligns well with with identity destabilization and spiritual transformation. Lilith’s story is less about a fixed identity and more about transformation—shifting from feared demon to feminist icon. #goddessart #mythologyart #goddess

Symbolism in the Artwork The title itself is a poetic invocation of mythic and spiritual archetypes: • “The Goddess Releases Herself” suggests a shedding of old identities or constraints, embracing vulnerability and power. • “To Rebirth” evokes the cyclical nature of life, death, and renewal—especially potent during the winter solstice, a time traditionally associated with introspection and transformation. • “During the Conjunction” situates this rebirth within a cosmic moment of union and potential. The piece is described as part of the mythic cycle of the Goddess, particularly the season of the Hag—an archetype of wisdom, endings, and rebirth. This phase encourages deep reflection, inner listening, and dreaming into the future A. 🎨 Artistic Medium and Mood • The work is mixed media, which often implies layers of texture, symbolism, and visual storytelling. • The color palette includes earthy tones and cosmic blues, suggesting both groundedness and celestial mystery. • It’s not just a visual piece—it’s a spiritual map, inviting viewers to contemplate their own cycles of release and rebirth. 🔮 Deeper Interpretation This artwork can be seen as a ritual in itself—a visual meditation on the feminine divine reclaiming her power during a moment of planetary alignment. It speaks to: • Personal evolution: letting go of outdated roles or beliefs. • Collective transformation: the birth of a “New Earth” consciousness. • Sacred union: the merging of opposites to create harmony and new potential
