Artist's Comments

Alchemical ID created in Photoshop with the help of old books from my personal library.
It is the seventh step in creating the philospher's stone where the old ingredients need to die in order to give birth to something new. Rebirth and change has a very special, personal meaning for me.
The Baphomet in the background is very personal since I made it myself for use in my own rituals. Instead of the normal Hebrew letters spelling Leviathan they are Tengwar script and spell out Grima, a nick of me that I have had for about 9 years now.

i love this. Alchemy is something I'm very much interested in and Hermetic philosophy. Alchemical theory is how i think of this life and the cycles of it and how there must be death and without it there can be no life. This gives me shivers because of my intense fascination with Alchemy and magic. :blackrose:

Hermetic philosophy is something I only glanced over but I want to read some more about it; I believe that every path holds a grain of truth. I'm very much a believer of the cyclic nature of things and transformation.

oh indeed, life is a cycle and so is time, it would not make sense that it is a line with beginning and end, i believe that my soul has lived before and has lived many times and is now tired of being born again into mortal life, maybe after this cycle it will be at ease in the ether.
