Æon of Baphomet

collage, 2013

For the back of the Tarot cards there shall be a manifestation of BAPHOMET for the new Æon with a Rosy Cross, for with each arm there shall represent a face- that of a goat, that of a dove, that of a deer, and that of a canine. They shall have an upright pentagram in the center and a chaos star as a halo. They shall have the body of a woman with the genitals of a man as a manifestation of the Divine Androgyne. The Cross of Lorraine shall be marked on their torso as a show of gratitude to the Knights Templar. They shall bear four pairs of wings- that of a dove, that of a bat, that of an eagle, and that of a vulture. For the arms there shall be four pairs, one horizontal at 90 degrees, one at 30 degrees in difference down, one at 30 degrees up, and one held up to the heavens in praise bent at an angle. Their legs shall be in four pair, one at the angles together, one at 30 degrees of difference from the vertical, one at 60 degrees in difference from the first position, and one cross-legged as though in meditation.

The background of the design shall consist of the Elemental symbols as well as the Wands, the Cups, the Swords, and the Pentacles.
