I should say this is my masterpiece, Atu XXI The World. Sorrounded by the clouds representing four sacred animals, the central cosmic figure is ascending into a dark aethyr symbolised by Saturn. Subtle phosphorescence shows she is a spiritual existence.

" Silent satisfaction" is the theme. And Biblically speaking, the figure is Mary Magdalen. Apocryphal legends say she went to Provence and lived as a hermit until she was finally carried away to the Heaven (perhaps) by the angels. Unlike Virgin Mary's Assumption, which was heralded by Archangel Michael and watched by many audience, Mary Magdalen was gone unnoticed, without any words. I shall give her a title "the woman who kept silence".


Divinatory meanings : Serenity. Satisfaction. Silence. Unnoticed passing away.
