Here is a link to the painting--and to a nice written piece about the Goddess. I often, since Seddon Boulet’s paintings are so easily available on the internet, Google a link to the art when I do readings from this deck, but this is the first time I found such a lovely history of the Goddess and things related to Her – for instance, there is an anime character named after her.
Hina is a creator Goddess and an adventurer. Although she is often characterized as living in the moon, in this image the moon and stars hang in her hair like a crown; she may have created them and gathered them before scattering them across the sky, but they cling close when they can, honoring her free and generous spirit. It seems to me that she is here as a muse or creative companion for you. The tiny bit of her story on the back of the card tells of how when she had a love affair with an eel and that being was killed, she buried its head and several days later, the first coconut tree grew out of the grave. Whatever troubles you are facing, whatever is happening in the world, she will help you find your creativity and your ability to call forth the nourishment and support that are needed.
She says, right now the world may be dark, but dawn is approaching.
