Body of Light III: Samadhi

Funny, I'd never looked that closely at the definition of Samadhi before now.  How fascinating that it is so closely associated with equilibrium (Ape of Thoth)  Also upon further viewing this piece begins to remind me of the Aeon card in the Thoth tarot deck.  With two elements becoming a new third in the form of the child Horus.  This image kind of looks as though there is a child emerging from within the larger figure.

Body of Light II: The Head of Baphomet

Again I return to the image of Baphomet, the enlightened beast.  This version seems a more earthy rendition and unlike my last, this time we only get the head.  The horns this time are dramatic and thick, much more like the horns of a bull than the traditional goat's horns.  Still, the light shines between them.

Body of Light I: Ape of Thoth

I must preface the description of this piece with a note that I did not intend to create a piece about the Ape of Thoth, but upon finishing this piece, I knew that was what I was seeing.  As I researched for more information, it seemed more and more that my initial reaction was appropriate.  I found a really good description of the Ape of Thoth over at Strange Onion Peelings that helped me confirm.  I feel like I should also make note that I found this piece particularly difficult to write about.  Ha.
