Today’s digital collage is another powerful and unexpected creation. It is entitled “Shango’s Daughters: My Madelyn – CEO Woman Archetype and Sapphire – Warrior Woman Archetype.”

I am still marinating on the meaning of this collage. I will share its full meaning in the coming weeks.

For now, here’s what I know. I used Canva’s AI background generator to create a dramatic red and black background for the collage. I also included 2008 photos of my Madelyn – CEO Woman and Sapphire – Warrior Woman archetypes that were taken by photographer Leigh Mosely for my mindful creativity memoir, That Which Awakens Me.

My relationship with the Yoruba Orisha Shango really comes alive when my Madelyn – CEO Woman and Sapphire – Warrior Woman archetypes show up in my life.

Shango is the Yoruba Orisha of thunder, lightning, fire, justice, law, and order. He is a warrior associated with the double-headed battle-ax (called oshe), strength, leadership, protection, dancing, singing, bata drumming, number six, and the colors red and white.

Shango’s color red is prominent and double-headed ax are featured in the collage. Look for six red axes in the collage. They are located in the corners of the collage and on my skin as tattoos.

My Madelyn – CEO Woman archetype is dressed in a red power suit and Mardi Gras mask. Madelyn wears a mask to protect her peace. She manages the details of my daily life, finances, and all matters that require organization and coordination. She is a fierce LEADER who does what needs to be done to live a good life. She is dressed in a red power suit in the photo. She relies on my Sapphire – Warrior Woman archetype for protection.

My Sapphire – Warrior Woman archetype offers protection and will enforce and fight on behalf of my Madelyn – CEO Woman. They work together. Sapphire is a stylish, sensual, and sexy warrior dressed in a black strapless jumpsuit and red and yellow silk wrap with dragons. The dragons on the silk wrap that I purchased while I was visiting Beijing, China in 1995 pay tribute to my birth year of the fire dragon (1964). Sapphire is also wearing a black Mardi Gras mask to protect her identity from folks who may come against her.
