Dream Weaver, Hypnos

Dream Weaver Hypnos: Hypnos, oil on wood, 24 x 48 inches, 2021               Dream Weaver, Hypnos, oil on wood, 24 x 48 inches, 2021 Dreaming sleep, the realm of Hypnos. Hypnos’s influence upon us releases healing vibrations, stimulating the resolution of our conflicts.  This is symbolically represented in the foreground of the painting by poppy pods.  Their exhaling breath of lustrous trance-inducing vibrations is the vehicle of restitution. The poppies symbolise the healing balm of natural pharmaceuticals. When controlled, they provide relief from pain and suffering in contradiction to our loss of will through […]

Tarot Card Meanings

Tarot Card Meanings, Our Inner Voice Tarot Card meanings arise from our inner voice. They help us put order and rhythm into life’s apparent chaos. As humans, we crave safety and order. Our minds naturally seek patterns, even in chaos, like seeing images in clouds. Often, the images we notice are the ones we need to see. Tarot divination challenges us to understand our present situation and the steps needed to move forward. Answers don’t come from outside. They come from within. Tarot card images act as triggers. They help us bypass what we avoid, confronting truths we already know but […]

Prometheus Cain,Consciousness and the Wrath of God

Prometheus Cain and Wrath of God My painting Prometheus Cain and the Wrath of God looks at the mythological dynamic from two perspectives.  It illustrates the phenomenon of enlightenment being shared prior to the punishment being executed. From the Greek perspective, it is the agent of enlightenment to man, Prometheus, who is the one suffering the wrath of the Gods. In the Jewish/Christian philosophy, it is the receiver of enlightenment, Eve, who suffers the wrath of God. In the background is Zeus looking down from his domain of Olympus.  He appears remote, almost uninterested in the dynamic being played out […]

Sun Virgo Tarot Hermit Self Healing

Sun Virgo Tarot Hermit Sun Virgo corresponds to the major arcana tarot card Hermit. Close examination of the card reveals the eyes of the Hermit are closed, symbolising answers to questions are obtained through introspection and the seeking elucidation from within. The Hermit derives resolution to uncertainty from learned personal experience, recalled through inner voice, in contradiction to relying on influences of society, media and social convention. This inner voice, according to Julian Jaynes in his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, was the voice of Gods and ancestors commonly listened to by our […]

Sun Enters Leo Tarot Strength

Leo Tarot Card Strength Sun enters Leo, tarot card Strength symbolism, Sun in Leo. Is strength accepting the fruit, or refusing the fruit? As an example of a bicameral archetype for this card, Achilles is opportune because of his reactionary, fixed, automatic responses to phenomena.  We should note, however, that his character expresses wrath and anger but not hate. When presented with a phenomenon outside of himself, Achilles responds to voices from within himself. He is, to all intents and purposes, a puppet animated and manipulated by the strings of hallucinating voices of ancestors and Gods. These automatic responses are […]
