Description
I present to you the second finished painting for the project “Shamanic Tarot” or “Tarot of Plant Allies”, which I will hope to publish sometime, it should be tarot cards inspired by plants and shamanic consciousness… This project will probably be created for many years to come… The first prepared painting is for the High Priestess card.
The painting is dedicated to “magic mushrooms”, especially Psilocybe.
For card archetype No. XV. The Devil for the project “Tarot of Plant Allies” I chose a special creature, “Magic Mushrooms”.
Somewhere far away, to the very edge of “Darkness,” the Devil settled. He sits on his throne and “rules,” perhaps we could rather say that he is trying to rule. He nailed two figures, a man and a woman. The man has a “divine nourishment” around him in the form of mushrooms, but as if he has not seen them, he prefers a beer to drink… And the lady is paralyzed, she can’t do anything.
The devil has his pentagram altar next to him, on which he has symbolically placed things with which he was able to bind the largest number of people: money, food, weapons, a computer and a man’s limb (hidden behind the devil’s right hand). He who submits to the Devil and allows himself to rule over him goes to hell with him, and there is no return, no help.
And so these “unfortunates” are there, and they would probably be there to this day, if a completely new “Entity”, a powerful and strong “Mushroom” did not appear. Without permission, the mushroom grew right in the middle of the Devil’s Altar, as if it had not frosted…
