Artist's Comments

Behold: another amulet from the Crowley mythos, painted piece-by-piece during my cross-country odyssey this past summer. The caption on this painting (presented to Enola at her bachelorette party) seems ill-considered compared with the invocation I included on a greeting card:

The Spirit of Venus shall compel any person you desire to come to you and do as you wish.

That's what I SHOULD have written here.

Being familiar with arcanist and pre-Christian tradition / symbolism, I really love this fusion of Celtic, Greek, and Roman mythoi. I do agree with you about the inscription, though I would rather prefer there not being an inscription at all; I think it takes away from the overall power of the piece, when the information it carries can easily be conveyed in a note or message that is not part of the art / spell itself. Still, though, the explanation is well-presented and doesn't at all take away from the image's beauty--only the potential for fantastic immersion.

very nice, congrats on the Daily Deviation thingie! :D
isnt it Pentagrammaton instead of tetragrammaton since its 5 pointed star and not 4? :P Pente = 5, Tetra = 4

Given your familiarity "with arcanist and pre-Christian tradition / symbolism" then you probably know that the "Seal of Solomon" akas the "Star of David" is a 6-pointed star made-up of 2 inverted equal-sided triangles, and was never a (5-pointed) pentagram ;-)

Defn: A pentagram (sometimes known as pentalpha or pentangle) is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes. The word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon), a noun form of πεντάγραμμος (pentagrammos) or πεντέγραμμος (pentegrammos), a word meaning roughly "five-lined" or "five lines".

But heh, the artwork is still well-done.
