Pomegranate, The Feminine Journey

The Split Pomegranate, The Feminine Journey and Tarot Card Tower Introduction 1. The Symbolism of the Split Itself The symbolism of the split pomegranate¹ and its relationship to The Feminine Journey represents a threshold moment, forceful, decisive, and often messy. It signifies: Breaking Open the Known: Like cracking a code or forcing a revelation, the hard rind yields to persistent effort. Confrontation with Abundance: The split reveals not a single answer, but a chaotic multitude of possibilities, the seeds. Irreversibility: Once split, it cannot be perfectly sealed again. The act itself is transformative. 2. The Seeds of Potential Inside, the […]

The pomegranate symbolizes feminine rites of passage through its connection to fertility, life, death, and rebirth, often linked to menstruation, sexuality, marriage, motherhood, initiation into adulthood, and the cycle of seasons.

In the Lair of Tiresias

In the Lair of Tiresias “In the Lair of Tiresias”, an original oil on plywood painting, 48 x 48 inches, 2024.

The Condition of Souls: Lost souls here are “cursed by their lack of vision”. Trapped until they can comprehend Tiresias’s instructions this suggests a purgatorial state […]

The Odyssey of the Daemon

The Odyssey of the Daemon: Magick, Mind, and the Quest for Wholeness I. The Core Thesis: The Odyssey as Daemonic Quest Homer’s The Odyssey is far more than an epic poem; it is a universal allegory for the search for our Daemon, our essential spirit, true Self, or guiding genius.  In this journey: Penelope, Odysseus’s wife, represents the externalised image of his daemon. She is the symbol of his wholeness, his kingdom, and his completed self. The unwavering goal that guides his entire path. The Odyssey itself is the “magical mythical path” of trials, purification, and transformation required to unite […]

Rapture In General Terms

Rapture In General Terms, In general terms Rapture is a state of intense joy or delight, of being completely captivated and overwhelmed, by religious and or sexual emotion. The powerful link between sexual and religious rapture is the human desire to transcend the self. Both experiences offer a temporary escape from the limitations of individual existence—the isolation of being a single self in a vast world. Whether through the intimate connection with another person or the overwhelming connection with the divine, the result is a similar psychological state: Ecstasy (from Greek ekstasis, meaning “to stand outside oneself”). Bliss and overwhelming joy. Loss of […]

Path of the Chameleon, Hodos Camelionis,

The Path of the Chameleon, Hodos Camelionis,  The Path of the Chameleon, Hodos Camelionis, is a poetic description of how an individual works with the QBL colour scales of the Tree of Life.
