The Oracle of Luna with Bridget Engels presents: Lisa Levart - Photographer/ Artist / Author of “Goddess on Earth; Portraits of the Divine Feminine”

Join us in this episode, for a captivating conversation with Photographer, Artist, Author of “Goddess on Earth: Portraits of the Divine Feminine” and Oracle Deck creator: Lisa Levart! Lisa’s lifelong personal assignment is to celebrate contemporary Women while drawing upon ancient stories to elevate their life journeys. She photographs archetypal imagery that is made to inspire Women to be their most powerful selves. Levart’s iconic photographs have appeared in numerous publications, including: New York magazine, The New York Times, O, The Oprah Magazine, Time magazine, and The Washington Post. She lives in the Hudson Valley, New York area.

Lisa tells us that she was called by the Goddess to photograph Women as Goddesses after attending sacred circles led by Gina Martin (my previous podcast guest on The Oracle of Luna). She weaves her love for the sacred feminine in with her visual art and photography. And from her growth in the Goddess spiritual world Lisa developed her Goddess portraits. Her portraits combine different techniques such as collage, textures  and mixed media which create depth to her photographs. She collaborated with all the Women that she photographed and asked them to choose which Goddess they wanted to portray and what elements water, air, earth, fire or spirit that they felt deeply connected to. The Women wanted Lisa to see them in this unique way. Her award winning book: “Goddess on Earth - Portraits of the Divine Feminine” reflects her passion for Goddess spirituality and her visual art.

Lisa photographed and collaborated with indigenous women and this work evolved into her epic immersive large scale photography installation project called: “Still Here: Women of the Ramapough Lenape Nation”.  The Ramapough Lenape are the indigenous peoples who lived in what is present day New York, Hudson Valley, New York city areas. This magical larger than life art/photography outdoor installation interplays with the cycles and seasons of nature and also honors the indigenous Women expressing their sacred stories on ancestral land.

Lisa also photographed and published the: “Goddess on Earth Oracle Deck and Guidebook”. She loved the idea of creating an interactive divination deck with Women embodying Goddess archetypes combined with the elements. Each of the Women photographed in Lisa’s Oracle Deck also offered a message from their own perspective of the Goddess on the card that they portrayed. The images were used from her Mythica series. The subtitle of the companion book is: “A Divination Guidebook with Spirited Wisdom from your Sisters”.  Tune in and be enlightened!
