Featured Drawing: Angel and Serpent

Angel and Serpent

The artwork from Sophomore. Peacock Collective's UCC Relay For Life Benefit Concert is now up online. Be sure to check out their transcendental tunes.

Angel and Serpent represents the dichotomy of the mutual celestial beings seen throughout altered states of consciousness and represented in world mythology. Angels and celestial serpents have cross-culturally existed as emissaries of an ethereal realm, giving forth both creation and knowledge. The falling strand of DNA, the "cosmic serpent" (see Jeremy Narby's "The Cosmic Serpent"), and the earth and celestial dragons, with wings falling towards Earth, all impregnating the primordial waters with life, the catalyst of evolution. Life always weaves a thread back home, the Tree of Life, DNA, and ayahuasca ("the vine of souls") are tools that point towards an inner trajectory, enabling the mind and soul of man a passage back to the realm of spirit, and to realities beyond our normal physical senses, exploring a palate of the infinite.
