"Manifestation/Emergence" refers to the mystery of being (in both a physical and spiritual sense) The symbol in the centre, the ankh is the symbol for life (and also means mirror/image) Some people think its a sandal strap, others think its the sun coming over the horizon, or that it represents a merging of Isis and Osiris. Anyway, the two serpents wrapped around it is meant to echo the cadeceus which symbolically openens up a whole new bag of worms! But basically it represents alchemy, plant drugs, the DNA double helix and the kundalini energy. The serpents are morphing and manifesting and growing into matter. The shrooms growing off this Yggdrasil-esque tree represent consciousness forming a symbiotic relationship with matter.
I have included the Sephiroth, through which we experience manifestation, the cosmic egg, the ouroboros (cycle of death & rebirth), the symbol of infinity, the hexagram (the unity of polarities... if you look the pattern behind the ankh forms a hexagram and also a triangle with an eye at the top) as everything manifests through the union of opposites. There are many symbols that relate to the number 4 as this represents manifestation (3 dimensions + time). There is a skull, representing death (as it is part of the manifestation process), symbols representing the union of opposites, male, female etc. Yoni & Lingham symbols, semen, an ovum being fertilized, ohm, trinity....and more...
The female form at the top is Nu(i)t the sky goddess, whos body stretches out across the night sky and contains the stars. The bottom is Persephone/Gaia who is part of this cosmic madness, and through whos vulva we emerge!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
