Celestial Lion Consciousness (a work in progress by Neil Hague)
All painting (and paintings) take us on a journey, a process leading to revelations and often, greater insights. My art has been a testimony to such insights and searching for the mystery in life. The Earth Lion I painted in 2009 was the pinnacle point of my ‘personal journey’ as an artist.
A lion presence, a force, had been with me for decades. They first appeared to me in dreams since the beginning of the millennium. I remember on several occasions seeing a ‘lion man’ in my dreams, one that resembled myself at that time. Lions seemed to be with me through this period of creating esoteric art and illustrations. So much so, I went on to be inspired to write wrote a small illustrated novel in 2007-8 based on the ‘coming of the lions’ – ‘lion consciousness’. The book became part of a trilogy of stories called the Kokoro Chronicles (A new book out for winter 2025).
In the ancient world art was a symbolic language, a science, and native people had a higher understanding of how sun cycles and the change in magnetic energy affected all life on earth.
26,000 years ago our native ancestors entered the caves of Mother Earth to depict and draw what they felt as a massive redevelopment of their consciousness, their bodies and environment. Spirals, suns, circles, animals (lions) on the move, all capture the effects on cave walls of the energies that our native ancestors were feeling at that time. Therefore, It is no surprise to see that one of the oldest pieces of art in the world is a ‘Lion-headed humanoid’ found in 1939 in a cave named Stadel-Höhle in Hohlenstein in the Swabian Alps, Germany. Those who have followed my art over the past two decades will notice that I not only like to paint lions, but I am attempting to bring their consciousness into our reality. Lion consciousness’, as I call it, has been symbolised in ancient art, not least in the portable piece found at the Stadel cave. Much symbolic art associated with the lion can relate to the power of ‘light’ and ‘truth’ (the Truth Vibration).
