An 'automatic' drawing then inverted for a midnight feel and colored.

Some of the same symbology in Tea With the Ancient Spirits is present here. The 'X's and 'O's underneath the pyramid also have a symbolic meaning, though not the usual one assigned to them. The 'O' stands for 'zero', or 'Unmanifest'. The 'X' stands for 'Xeper', or that which has been made 'Manifest'.

I'm not sure the depiction of Set would meet any sort of Kemetic standards, but my subconscious meant to say with this symbology that he is at home here in this house, he is well fed and both he and the red haired magician are comfortable and comfortable together.

I had the idea as I was drawing the figure to the left of the magician that I wished to depict 'The Mystery', the Power having already been depicted. But I was dismayed that a mirror image of the magician resulted. But then realized that which is Divine in the magician is of the Mystery and able partner for the Power.

The question represents the unknown. The wall hanging strand is there as 'good luck' amulets and also reinforces the 'question' at its bottom.
