A beautiful way to loose oneself in the flow of time.

Any takers :)

What is it about these beacon eyed  sky tigers that so capture the soul of imagination?

Has left the Brain that won’t believe.

The Owl that calls upon the Night

Speaks the Unbeliever’s fright.”

Life is indeed good and full of blessings.

Metatron’s cube is one of the prominant symbols in sacred geometry.  It contains within it the blueprints for all of the Platonic Solids. Metatron was known as the Scribe of God.   Metatron’s Cube shares 2-D resonance with the Flower of Life. It is a sacred geometry figure. Its name makes reference to Metatron, a figure mentioned only in apocryphal texts including the Book of Enoch or Sefer Hekhalot and the Zohar. These texts rank Metatron second only to YHVH in the heirarchy of spiritual beings. The derivation of Metatron’s cube from the tree of life, which the Talmud clearly states was excluded from human experience during the exile from Eden, has led some scholars including Johann Andreas Eisenmenger to portray Metatron as the means by which humanity was given knowledge of YHVH. Presumably implying that study of Metatron’s cube would be necessary to understanding the tree of life.

It seemed like a good symbol to draw today.

Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles[ and more generally as Lord of Beginnings.

In Honor of the approaching new year and in the spirit of removing obstacles as 2011 winds up, I made some Ganesh altar pieces. They are all hoping to land in good homes.

Jai Ganesh! Jai Jai
