About Me

Yes, I Am Wiccan -Yearning breaths slip through the cracks of my being -Everything stills to the sound of the question: who am I -Suspended in the downy void of existence I recall -I echo in my soul the eternity of woman and her grace through adversity -Armoured in her resolution and cloaked in her compassion for all things -Maiden/Temptress, Mother, Crone - many faces, yet, one soul -Wondering in awe of my connection to all that come before and all that shall be -Intricacies that Mother and Father Nature placed before me as gifts to be unwrapped -Cradled in the magic and mischief that surrounds my tenuous existence -Compassion that bleeds forth from a place of my remembering -Aroused with the suspicion that I am but a guest upon this sphere -Never forgetting to love myself, my fellowman, flora, fauna, and the future....-Cheryl Martel Hardin

I am an altered art, mixed-media artist, a singer, a writer, and an entrepreneur. Through my company, "Goddess Promotions”, I try to inspire and empower women through workshops, and retreats, as well as my art. I believe Women are the hope of our future on Mother Earth.
As an artist, I love everything patina, metals, stone, walls, wood, paint. I find that objects weathered by time are at their most interesting and beautiful. Please feel free to use any of my wall, wood, or rust photos for your own art. Nature is my religion, my passion, my being. I love working with elements from Mother Earth. I am also intrigued with man's "throw aways." I like to turn "old junk" into unexpected art, to use things in a different way than their original purpose, to give them a new life. In my collage art I love giving women wings (especially my Grandmother). It empowers my being.

Basically I love to create. It's the thing that brings me most joy in life. Whether it's a piece of art, an ambiance, a song, or a great vegan meal, I love to stretch my creative spirit in new and exciting ways.
I'm a big animal's rights advocate. I worked for the Northumberland Humane Society for five years. I ran an exotic bird sanctuary for two years and I worked briefly at a pet shop with rodents, lizards, snakes, etc.. I love all creatures, great and small.

You scored as The Oak. In Celtic astrology, you're an Oak, the most sacred of trees. The animal symbol that accompanies this tree is the wren. The ancient Druids say Oak people are wise, strong, responsible, self-motivated, optimistic and good leaders in the face of adversity. However, Oaks may be prone to being overly serious, intense, or even pompous.

Which Witch Are You?!
created with QuizFarm.com What kind of 'witch' are you?
You are a water witch. Beautiful and intuitive, you draw your power from the water. You can be tranquil and terrible at one and the same time and might be described as "moody." You appreciate literature and may be a poet/writer. Graceful and powerful as the water itself, the rest of us envy your ability to love and be loved by others.

You are The Star

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
