Light of Kabbalah ( work in progress ) . Oil on canvas & digital remix. Version 1. Inspired by reading Mystical kabbalah by Dion Fortune, & time spent living in Jerusalem many years ago. A vertical Triptych, it illustrates the Tree of Life, inherent in its shape. Light emanates from pure oneness beyond duality above, then lightning strikes the first Sephiroth with pure masculine energy, & is recieved by the archetypal womb sphere, Binah. Across the abyss, ( sphere of Daath )is Adam Kadamon , which is the central 6 sephiroth. Jupiter , the kind king, & Mars , god of war above. Tiphareth is central sun , sphere of beauty , selfless giving & harmony. Balanced by Venus on the right, Love & emotion, the force of nature, & Mercury on the left, intellect & magic. The energy flows down into the realm of dreams in yesod, then, over another veil, the 3rd panel, into Gaia, Malkuth, the bride of Adam, manifest earth.  I feel Kabbalah charts the manifestation of Spirit into matter, & also, the evolution of consciousness from matter to spirit. This piece was worked on at COSM new york , & during its creation i experienced a profound ayahuasca journey where i experienced the mysteries of the crucifixion ,  inherent in Tiphareth , it felt like a trauma release, a sacred wounding & healing. Thanks to poet Peter Moore for modelling for Mercury , and Arcadia performer ” Lord of Lightning ” Kino Placebo for the central figure
