I have always loved the symbolism of two peacocks to represent the
love shared between men. Here they are looking deep within each other's
eyes... their hearts aflame. They are equals, and are completely present
with each other. They are the Blue God... the God Self within each of
us... and they are here merging in Divine love. They are the Divine
Twins... joined together as Melek Ta'us. Their nature is the black heart
of innocence, and through their union love is renewed. |

Most cultures have a world tree or tree of life that symbolically connects the earth to the heavens. Its roots go deep into the Underworld (cthonic), the trunk grows through our own Middleworld (terrestrial), and its branches extend into the Upperworld (celestial). This image is based on some trance experiences that I have had with the tree as a guide in the Faery realm. The serpent that descends its trunk is the Gnostic Sophia who brings the wisdom of the Gods. The blue rose is the unfolding mystery, to which we may bear witness to, if only we learn to see. |

Its roots go deep into the cthonic Underworld, the trunk grows through the terrestrial Middleworld, and its branches extend into the celestial Upperworld. This image is based on some trance experiences that I have had with the tree as a guide in the Faery realm. Here the stars above are reflected in the world below, representing the faery stars that shine within the earth, a reminder of spirit within matter. The three color spheres represent the three worlds as well as the three souls of the Feri tradition: Red for the primal power of the fetch, white for the clear intellect of the talker, and electric blue for the cosmic presence of the God Soul. As in my original Faery Rose Tree, there is a serpent coiled around the trunk, only now it is ascending, representing the kundalini as it rises within, leading us toward enlightenment. The blue rose is the ever unfolding mystery. |

The serpent has long been associated with phallic energies and is
here dipicted in conjunction with symbolism of the Blue God of the Feri
tradition. The sensual and erotic power of sexuality manifested as the
rising kundalini is a recurring theme when working with this much loved
deity of our tradition. Sexual climax is one doorway into arousing this
power and manifesting our spirituality into our bodies. |

This image depicts a sigil/symbol of the primary God of Witchcraft
in His aspect of bestower of Divine presence. The inverted (or Horned)
pentagram represents spiritual power manifested down into the physical
plane; the sun and moon representing balance, while the falling star
invokes the Luciferian gnosis: a reminder that God exists within and
that "the Fall" was not a fall from grace, but instead a necessary
transmutation of Divine energy into the physical world. The serpent
and the peacock feather invoke the BlueGod of the Feri tradition of
Witchcraft; the Peacock Angel, whose name, "Melek" appears
in Theban script around the points of the pentacle. |
