"Peacock Twins"
©2004
From my piece, The Love of Gods and Men

It's deep purple and indigo hues set a soothing mood, ideal for inspiring the type of meditative state favored by mediums and anyone eager to delve into his or her unconscious mind.

In many cultures the Divine Twins play an important mythic role, representing the power of opposites brought into Divine union. Here we see the twins as the Middle Eastern Yezidi peacock angel Melek Ta’us, who in the Feri tradition of Witchcraft is said to be the twins manifested as one being.

I have always loved the symbolism of two peacocks to represent the love shared between men. Here they are looking deep within each other's eyes... their hearts aflame. They are equals, and are completely present with each other. They are the Blue God... the God Self within each of us... and they are here merging in Divine love. Their nature is the Black Heart of Innocence and through their union love is renewed.
