please note: the watermark does not appear on actual products.

The scapegoat, in ancient Jewish custom, was laden down with a huge load, usually with items that symbolized famine, arguments and strife between members, lack of rain, and other burdens. It was thought that if the scapegoat was banished to the desert to presumably die of hunger and thirst, that the burden would lift.

Scapegoating still exists today, but it exists in the way of blaming other people. If blaming doesn't work, then some sort of repercussion or torture is involved: vitriol and hatred, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, physical abuse or financial abuse or sanction. The whole act of scapegoating is to socially disapprove, isolate or banish the person or people making a complaint. Usually the complaint has to do with being treated badly.This can happen inside a family, in the workplace, and to minorities.

This is a healing art piece, in that the burden has turned to white butterflies and is flying away. Also the scapegoat is in a garden, surrounded by flowers and many different kinds of plants, a banquet for a scapegoat. The scapegoat is also white, symbolizing innocence, purity, and pure intentions (despite how his handlers have treated him).

This piece is an altered version of Scapegoat Healing (which has more brilliant colors). The original Scapegoat Healing is here: http://lisewinne.net/featured/scapegoat-healing-lise-winne.html
