Description
Here's the story of how this picture came about. I did some research on the five pointed star on the altar. Turns out that the symbol for Venus is a five pointed star, a Pentacle with two rings similiar to what you see on this altar.
So here's the story: One of Aesop's Fables is about Venus and a cat. The cat fell in love with a handsome young man, and entreated Venus to change her into the form of a woman. Venus consented to her request and transformed her into a beautiful damsel, so that the youth saw her and loved her, and took her home as his bride. While the two were reclining in their chamber, Venus wishing to discover if the cat in her change of shape had also altered her habits of life, let down a mouse in the middle of the room. The cat, quite forgetting her present condition, started up from the couch and pursued the mouse, wishing to eat it. Venus was much disappointed and again caused her to return to her former shape.
I ended up using a leopard for the cat since you could easily see how this animal coule be transformed into a human and back again.
Hope you enjoyed my story and picture!
Thanks so much for your comments and favs on my last picture!
