Very Still Life by Dr. Jack Kevorkian
Although best-known as a physician and as a social activist, Dr. Kevorkian is also an active painter who, not surprisingly, explores the darkest aspects of human nature through his artworks.
Authors comments on the art.
The message here, though somewhat capricious, nebulous, and indefinable, is clearly underscored by intense feeling and brilliant colors. These highlight the melancholy age-old balance between the warmth of life and the iciness of death, spiced with the sardonic humor of irony. The disquieting mood portends inescapable doom for the frail symbol of individual life and through seemingly callous extinction of its evanescent aura. The age-old balance is certainly skewed.
I am reading Adversarial Light, Magick of the Nephilim by Michael W. Ford (for the second time as the first time it was well over my head as far as comprehending it all goes) and I keep picking up little interesting tidbits of information that really make me realize just how completely ridiculous Christianity is. I wonder how so many people can just blindly follow something without actually even knowing what it all really is or where it came from. The newest little thing that really has me thinking is about how Satan/Lucifer is identified with as a serpent.
The serpent is a symbol of divine wisdom and illumination in the mythologies of the world. Only those who seek religions of servitude or choose to place their life in the mood of an exterior God find this threatening. The serpent teaches darkness and light or good and evil. It teaches to be accountable for your destiny.

Looking at the Angel hierarchy in the Judeo-Christian structure from least to greatest there is something else that amuses me.
Now remember before Lucifer’s fall he was one of the highest ranking and most powerful angels. At the bottom of the chain you have your Angels. Then you move up to Archangels, Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Dominations, Thrones and Cherubim before you get to the highest level the Seraphim. Lucifer was a Seraphim. Now what is interesting about this is that in ancient Jewish writings Seraphim are called serpents. Seraphim are actually Babylonian in origin and Christianity molded them to adapt to their religious concept.
I’m learning more every day and I love it!
Lilith cannot be understood by attempts to replace a supreme deific force with her, she is equal to Samael and her place is the wilderness, the desolate and barren places beneath the desert sun. Her path is her own choosing within the wilderness, the very Goddess of the Self, unrestrained and free.
