For many years I have felt that the forms of the energy industry, ie cooling towers, oil refineries, electrical transformers, were symbols related to our inner landscape. The great female archetypes have been locked up and hidden in the underworld. The huge transformers had appeared to me in their cages with their outstretched arms sparking electricity into the darkness as ikons of the great goddess of our time.
