The Tarot Wheel

This image is a compilation of the astrological wheel, with the tarot, mansions of the moon, angels, playing cards, and seasons.

Some day… I may even write it all down and explain it.

But today isn’t the day.

Baphomet

Stories of the Knights Templar worshiping the goat headed god Baphomet is always intriguing.  I am enchanted by the interpretations put forth by Eliphas Levi and others.

This image is my interpretation of the mystery of Baphomet and was published in both The Cauldron Magazine and ‘The Pillars of Tubal Cain’ by Michael Howard and Nigel Jackson.

Hecate

I have always loved the Goddess Hecate in image, lore, myth and spirit.  The Ancient One of the Ancients.  Born before the Titans.  She who always existed.  Guide of the Crossroads.  Torch in the Darkness.  Wise One.

This image came from reading the Chaldean Oracles.  My interpretation of Hecate here is from her epithet as The Hundred Handed One.

The image was used on the cover of The Cauldron Magazine many years ago.

It took me hours to draw those hundred hands….

Amid the Father, the Centre of Hecate circles.

About the hollow, beneath Her side, there sprouts full bursting forth, the foundation of the Primal Soul,

all at once enspouting: Light, fire, Aether, Worlds.” – Chaldean Oracles

Mother Goose

The old Mother Goose rhymes hold old folk traditions and memories of ancestral traditions.  One of the old rhymes that I have always enjoyed is the Old Woman in the Basket.

There was an old woman tossed up in a basket
Ninety times as high as the moon
but where she was going, I could only but ask,
for under her arm she carried a broom

“Old woman, old woman, old woman,” said I!
”Where are you going away to, so high?”
”To sweep the cobwebs from the sky
And I’ll be with you, by and by.”
