Where did your company name, Peacock & Paisley, come from?
It literally popped into my head one day as I was brainstorming a company that would encompass what I feel is important in life and would provide me a way to share with the world, to improve it, and to help people while enjoying what I do. Art, Body & Soul were the three main topics, and Peacock & Paisley just popped in. It felt like that summed up in a swirl what it is about. I’ve always loved both, from early childhood. My grandparents’ friends had peacocks and I loved them and was thrilled with them from the moment I saw and heard them. Peacocks are really an experience. My grandfather had worked in Turkey for a short time and had brought back a piece of paisley cloth which my grandmother artfully draped over a bureau full of toys out on their sun porch. I would stare at it, mesmerized and absorbing it, meditating without the slightest idea what that was. I was quite the bohemian hippie chicklet! Wasn’t it funny, then, when I discovered as an adult the symbolism and significance of peacock and paisley…..
The Story Behind Peacocks
Peacocks are magnificent. They’re gorgeous, intense, colorful, soulful, passionate, have immense presence, and have been symbols of the Divine for eons. Early Christians are said to have considered them symbols of a certain type immortality, since it was reputed that peacock flesh did not decay after death. Muslims are said to have considered them an embodiment of the sun and the moon. Peacocks are said to be sacred to Kuan Yin, the Japanese and Chinese goddess of mercy and compassion. They symbolize kindness, compassion, empathy and love. The Hindu Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom, is said to ride a peacock. Buddhists use peacock feathers in purification ceremonies; the feathers symbolize purity. Some people say that peacocks die of grief after the death of their mates, which speaks of their loyalty and fidelity.
Peacocks also symbolize the birth of new life, the soul, expression of one’s own beauty inside and out, prosperity, royalty, dignity, and peace.
The Story Behind Paisley
Paisley is an art form representing the totality of life within a drop. Fertility, creation, all of what is necessary to bring something into being. It started as botanical drawings which encompassed an entire plant from seed to root to blossom.
Who Are You and Why Are You Doing This?
Good question!
I’ve been metaphysically inclined since early childhood; I just didn’t know it back then, and was actively discouraged after the age of 6 from “using my powers.” Funny thing is, though, my favorite tv shows were Bewitched, The Nanny and The Professor, I Dream of Jeannie, and Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.
I went through a number of physical illnesses starting in early childhood, and was treated extensively with your usual American medical treatments, including heavy-duty drugs for allergies. These caused bad side-effects and didn’t do much to help.
Having grown up in a very dysfunctional family, I sustained some “war wounds” which traditional therapies didn’t help. So, in my twenties, I started looking for some alternatives.
