The St. Louis Art Museum is currently hosting “Anselm Kiefer: Becoming the Sea,” a retrospective that speaks deeply to the Pagan soul. Kiefer, a German artist, uses themes of nature, mythology, and historical reflection in his work, creating pieces that resonate with our reverence for the Earth and our ancestors. This exhibition, the first major American retrospective of his work in two decades, offers a powerful opportunity to connect with the raw, elemental forces that shape our world and our spirituality.
For Pagans, the sea is often seen as a symbol of the divine feminine, of the subconscious, and of the constant cycles of creation and destruction. Kiefer’s exploration of this powerful element invites us to contemplate our own connection to these forces. His use of evocative materials, such as lead, ash, and straw, evokes a sense of history and transformation, mirroring the ways in which we, too, are shaped by the past and continually reborn.
Whether you’re drawn to the mysteries of the ocean, the power of ancient myths, or simply the beauty of art that speaks to the soul, “Becoming the Sea” promises a rich and transformative experience. Journey to the St. Louis Art Museum and immerse yourself in Kiefer’s vision – you might just find yourself swept away by the tide. You can read more about the exhibition at The Wild Hunt, where Eric O. Scott offers a detailed overview.
