The Star Goddess Rug.
Heaven at Avebury.
Jon Appleton
She rises from her sea of stars again,
High in the south on midwinter night.
With arms spread wide to bless all here on earth,
Our lady gazes down with eyes so bright.

Now
I’m
sharing
them
with
you
as
well.
Some
of
the
diagrams
,
poems
and
bits
of
text
here
come
from
the
cards
and
I’ve
added
some
brief
notes
to
give
a
clue
to
the
meanings
and
symbolism
of
the
rugs
but
as
I
mentioned
each
of
them
can
act
as
the
basis
of
both
a
lengthy
talk
and
discussion.
Perhaps
I’ll
expand
the
texts or be encouraged to talk about the images elsewhere.
These rugs have been created for many years now, at a rate of less than one a year, for three main reasons.
•
Firstly to encapsulate in visual form ideas that have interested me, many of which are tackled in
this website.
•
Secondly to have a diagram which I can use as the basis of a workshop. Many of these are in a
circle of people sitting on the ground in a circle in a tent and I like the informality and matter of
factness of a carpet that can be walked on.
•
Thirdly the rugs formed the basis of Yuletide cards that I sent to family and friends each year
