Making Dolls is Women's Magic

I've worked with indigenous shamans, been a student of the western mystery traditions, and received my M.A. in Transformative Arts & Consciousness. I've been an art consultant on the Rue Royal in New Orleans to Rodeo Drive in high-end Art Galleries.

My lifelong question is

What Makes Art Sacred?

WE DO!

I invite you to create big Magic with me!

When the Light Goes Out, the Path to Awakening Appears: Thought Forms Part 3: Dark Night of the Soul

When the Light Goes Out, the Path to Awakening Appears: Thought Forms Part 3: Dark Night of the Soul

One of the men in my men’s group, Journey to the Sacred Male, shared a moment that changed everything. At nineteen, while in seminary, he discovered that some of the priests were having sexual relationships with each other—and that the Church accepted this, but under the cloak of silence and collusion. He was devastated. That night, he left the seminary and went to a nearby graveyard, where he lay beneath a huge tree and entered a spiritual crisis. All night long, he was overwhelmed by visions, voices. He said the tree was the only reason he made it through the night. Hear the rest of the story of his descent—and the startling moment that changed his path forever. This is the Dark Night of the Soul. #DarkNightOfTheSoul #ThoughtForms #KristenaWest #nickcave #JimCarrey #CarlJung #RudolfSteiner #JacobBoehme #StJohnoftheCross #ThomasMerton #SpiritualAwakening #ShadowWork #SpiritualCrisis #MysticsShamansDreamers #JourneyToTheSacredMale #ArtAndHealing #spiritualcrisis #spiritualawakening #nothingness #artforhealing #karma #whatareyouthinking

Lying Shatters Our Souls: The Karma of Deceit—It Comes Back to the Body -THOUGHT FORMS Part 2

What happens when we lie—to others… or to ourselves? What are the Karmic effects on our soul, somatic body and mental health? In this episode, we explore the deep spiritual and physical cost of falsehood. From mythic figures like Gollum and Dorian Gray to the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and Marion Woodman, you'll see how untruth becomes a force that lives in the body—and how truth begins the process of soul repair. If you've ever felt the weight of something unspoken, this is your invitation. ✦ Explore how lies become energy, distortion, illness, and loss ✦ Discover what it takes to come back to wholeness ✦ Reclaim your truth as a living force 📍 Private Soul Retrieval & life coaching sessions available at KristenaWestArt.com 🕯 Subscribe | 💬 Comment | ✉ Share with someone this info might help-artists & thinkers! #KristenaWest #SoulRetrieval #RudolfSteiner #MarionWoodman #LordOfTheRings #JRRRTolkien #DorianGray #OscarWilde #ThoughtForms #ShadowWork #Embodiment #SpiritualHealing #Karma #EnergeticHealing #FeminineWisdom #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #MythAndMeaning #LiesAndTruth #SomaticWisdom #Wholeness #HealingJourney #SpiritualScience #TruthTelling #CreativeSoulWork #AwakenedWomen #LifeCoach #ShamanicHealing #Dreamwork #AlchemyOfTheSoul

Before Kandinsky There Was Hilma af Klint: Thought Forms, Clairvoyance Roots of Modern Art

Hilma af Klint was a clairvoyant, mystic, and visionary painter who channeled unseen realms into stunning abstract art—years before Kandinsky claimed the title. In this video, we explore her use of thought forms, spiritual science, and esoteric teachings, drawing from Theosophy, Rudolf Steiner, and mystery traditions. We all are creating Thought Forms all day long, forming intricate colorfulled patterns over our heads. Hilma af Klint, a clairvoyant perceived Thought Forms. Learn how Hilma’s inner vision created a whole new visual language and why her work is finally being recognized as the true beginning of abstract art. We’ll look at the symbolism, her spiritual influences, and how art can serve as a bridge between the physical and invisible worlds. If you’re an artist, dreamer, or seeker—this is for you. 🎨 Explore more at: https://www.KristenaWestArt.com #HilmaAfKlint #AbstractArt #SpiritualArt #ThoughtForms #EsotericArt #WomenInArt #RudolfSteiner #ClairvoyantArt #MysticalArt #kandinsky #AlanWallace #FaribaBogzaran #anthroposophy #womenartists

The Creator Twins A Dreamgate Task — the Initiation Journey

The Creator Twins A Dreamgate Task — the Initiation Journey

www.KristenaWestArt.com #IntuitiveArt #HealingArt #EmpoweredWomen In 1998, I was driving through the red rock lands of Moab, Utah when I had a dream that changed everything. A Navajo woman came to me in the dream and said: “You must teach the story of the Twins. It is a Healing story for the People.” That dream marked the beginning of a spiritual journey I never could’ve predicted. In 1999, I traveled to the Four Corners and spoke with a Zuni elder in the Church of Guadalupe who listened to my story and simply said: “You have been touched.” This vlog is the first time I’m sharing that story publicly with the Healing Art. It’s deeply personal and comes from a place that’s hard to put into words—but it lives in my art. The story of the Twins isn't just mythology—it’s alive, and it speaks to us through symbols, dreams, and our own creative practice. My intention is to begin sharing pieces of that journey with you, in hopes it stirs something awake in your own path. More than anything, I want to show that art can be made with intention—that art itself can be a healing force. When we approach it with presence, with prayer, with a willingness to be moved, it carries something far beyond beauty. It carries medicine. May this story, and the works born from it, remind you that your hands, your dreams, and your voice can be vessels for healing too. ........................................................................... 🎨 Ready to Awaken Your Inner Artist? After a two-year break from art (due to a hand injury), I'm back!
