Description
I'm getting used to posting all the time now. This one is a jumble of symbols of forces in my life, things I have to reconcile. In the center of course is me, with this huge piece missing from my mind - the piece that knows where I came from and why I've been through all I've been through in this world. I can feel the presence of this missing piece, which I represented as a nebula containing a pentacle, which represents the power I could have if I could connect with myself. In front of the head is a magical altar, since I feel I could take some kind of action that would solve my problem if I only knew what to do. The woman with the blindfold, holding the staff, is the often-inscrutable "guides" that I draw wisdom from, the mysterious "they" who wield the power (the staff) to arrange the strange coincidences and conflicts of my life. The skull-serpent statue is the deadly power of the society I live in -- technology, money, sex, the dark forces of "success" I have to master, but still suspect to be essentially vampiric. The partially hidden "dragon wall" full of alchemical symbols represents the fragments of spiritual knowledge that I have, and the possibility that I might still gain some occult solution to my problems. And then flying in from outer space is the Manticore, combination of Lion and Scorpion which represents Antares - "The Heart of Scorpio" - which conjuncts Mars in my horoscope and seems to hold out the hope of liberation.
This is a first stab at mapping out the conflict in my psyche.
