Pomegranate, The Feminine Journey

Pomegranate, The Feminine Journey & The Tarot Card Tower Introduction This is a study of the Pomegranate and its relationship to feminine symbolism and its relationship to the cards of the tarot. What happens when something whole is split open? It’s not a clean break. It’s messy, definitive, and life-altering. Think of a pomegranate, cracked open, not by accident, but by intent or fate. That split is where our story begins. 1. The Split – A Moment That Changes Everything A split pomegranate¹ isn’t just broken fruit. It’s a turning point. You’ve forced something open, maybe your life, an idea, […]

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 painting is an allegory of the soul’s journey after death, set within a personalised mythological framework: The Realm: The setting is the underworld, referred to as “the realm of Tiresias.” In this mythology, Tiresias is not just a blind prophet but appears to be the sovereign or central figure of this domain. 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 […]

Theatre of Self

The Theatre of the Self The Question Theatre of the Self. “I am the feeling of what is called me. I am not me, but an impression of me. My various, evolving selves enter and depart my consciousness, much like actors entering and exiting the stage of a dramatic presentation. A kaleidoscope of coming and going.” The Conscious Theatre. The Stage: This is your fundamental consciousness or awareness, the “feeling of me.” It is the empty, illuminated space. It is constant, silent, and unchanging, allowing any performance to happen upon it. This is what you truly are. The Actors¹: These […]

Magickal Act

The Magickal Act as a “Synchronistic Potential” A magickal act from a mechanistic view is an action that has a direct, linear cause-and-effect outcome. In a magickal or synchronistic view, an action is a symbolically charged event that is planted into the fabric of reality at a moment of perfect alignment for the objective, Kairos¹. Because it’s planted in fertile ground, it doesn’t just produce one result; as it germinates, grows, and propagates, it sometimes does so in unexpected ways. How it works: The Act Itself is a Concentrated Node of “Right Time” A magickal performance is not done randomly. […]

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 […]
