Ahora que está tan de moda todo lo relacionado con lo esotérico, sociedades secretas, conspiraciones judeomasónicas… Esta camiseta con un dibujo en referencia a los Illuminati creo que queda resultona, decadente y bizarra. Lo que sea que signifique eso.

The voice to society – man and woman – as the Magician is the voice to the mystical and without true form, the Hierophant is the one who must understand and translate mortal lessons. Right hand in the action of bleeding the left, so does the one responsible for the guidance of those in search of self realization often have to give the very essence of himself to the world. The right hand, subject to the left brain, the part which calculates what always equals the sum of its parts, is in the case of the sage, concrete in form. The left hand, the one which is pierced, is the mystical, faith-based, second-sighted. The struggle for the teacher of man and woman, to all men and women, is hardship in maintaining any lifeblood within his own hopes, and ability to rely on greater things ( things beyond the eye ) to act as a stitch when life proper weakens the will. Very much as the split beast, the Steppenwolf, this is an image of one torn between sides… too often required to fight for the nature of the animal, and thus at odds with the nourishment of adopted, nurturing ideals of one created to be as he is. The secondary piece of the sociological – the battle of “the human condition” – to the first, that of the Magician, in the tarot’s Major Arcana, of all multitude of exact ways to be read, the Hierophant holds these common threads… To go to great lengths to lift others in mind, while by this very token in a battle to stay afloat in light of overly determined self reliance, and often nearly impossible spiritual satiation. A contradiction in many ways, as unable to look above without disbelief, the Hierophant becomes the above itself, and stands torn as an abacus required to position its own calculi. The stones he bears may guide others, but he is at a loss to control his own much needed understandings. Sometimes called The High Priest, he should not be offset in thought to The High Priestess… beyond perhaps his flaws being shone, while hers, few, and veiled by a curtain of peace. —-_--_—- Model: Michael Lepplestat / Photo Year: 2008 The Fool The Magician The High Priestess The Empress The Emperor The Hierophant The Lovers The Chariot Justice The Hermit Wheel of Fortune Strength The Hanged Man Death Temperance The Devil The Tower The Star The Moon The Sun Judgement The Universe/The World Card Reverse Side Design

Pendle Witch Country, in the Lancashire Pennines, is an area lying between (but also including) the north western edge of Bronte Country and the Ribble Valley, to the north and north east of which are Bowland, and the south western Yorkshire Dales respectively. The area is dominated by the dark brooding mass of Pendle Hill (shown above) and made famous (nay infamous) for its grim and fiendish association with the “Witches of Pendle”...

’. . . the long black night begins, yet still, by the lake a young girl waits, unseeing she believes herself unseen, she smiles, faintly at the distant tolling bell, and the still falling rain.’ Alas, she is soon to become a sacrifice in an satanic ritual! Black Sabbath’s self titled song inspired by Dennis Wheatley, Mario Bava and Hammer Horror. In musical lore and legend the song gave birth to ‘heavy metal’. (They never called their music that, however.) The image was made 2007 as a demo on the use of photoshop brushes and layering them. The girl in this image actually comes from another horror film. It seemed fitting to use it hear as it reminded of the ‘chase part’ of the song near the end.

“A safe but sometimes chilly way of recalling the past is to force open a crammed drawer. If you are searching for anything in particular you don’t find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting.” / James M.

The symbolism of this piece is quite rich, and in further researches I found out that I ended up making relations between all the representations without consciously being aware of it. The Chemistry is about inner alchemy and how the power of transformation manifests itself through Will. That’s basically my version of the ancient illustrations on alchemy in which we see a dragon-serpent “wrapping” a maiden. In my version, for artistical reasons, I decided not to draw the serpent involving the maiden’s body, but putting her closer to the background, and showing her body changing according to the colors of the environment – which are the colors of the four elements. The serpent is a representation of the unconscious forces of Will. The maiden raises from a pond (the beginning of all things, regeneration, new birth) that has been formerly muddy and still (the dark green color at the edges), and now is made clear by the power of fire (strength, courage, will, passion), or the dragon. A bunch of monarch butterflies come out the pond. The butterfly is one of the symbols of the Gemini sign (Mercury) and the classical representation of regeneration and rebirth. The maiden’s hair turns first into green grass from which 3 lotus flowers (another symbol of rebirth) arise, and then into fire. The dragon’s head show itself among the profusion of hair. The four elements are clearly present, in images and colors: Fire (dragon’s head, the top of the picture, the color red), Earth (grass and leaves, the color green), Air (butterflies, the color yellow) and Water (the pond, the color blue). It’s part of our journey as human beings to face muddy waters throughout our life. But to remain stagnant in them is our choice. We all have the inner strength to being born again, to rebuild ourselves – we just need to accept the changes and look toward the future. We are the alchemists. colored pencil on bristol board / 17×8.5
