"The Tree of Death - The Sinner" (ca. 1835-1855)
This cheery interpretation of the Gospel quotes at the bottom of the image, from the famed team of Currier & Ives, shows the devil watering a tree that, rather unhelpfully, a skeleton looks about to cut down. Get on the same page, fellas!
Also, good to know that among the various fruits of the Tree of Death is "Self Love." I thought the downside was limited to going blind, so something new learned today.
Welcome back to my series of:
“you can’t always get what you want”
🪬🪬🪬
Theres more to this world than the physical.
When you conquer the want for physical possessions, you will start to gain what your heart truely desires.
GREED IS AN ACT OF SURVIVAL
Break free from the need to posses.

Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted
The core idea of Chaos Magick. The idea suggests that reality is not a fixed entity and that individuals are free to adopt and discard belief systems as needed for magical work.
As a Chaote, I find this very true and extremely helpful advice. It is like a teacher explaining something complex in the form of an analogy. Since analogies work well for me, it is easier for me to grasp complicated ideas.
Currently I am trying to understand and just glazing over the information I have about the Qlippoth/Klipot or the Tree of Death/The Sitra Ahra aka the other side of the Sefirot in the Qabalah/Kabbalah/Cabala. And me being a witch that practices both Chaos Magick and the sub branch of Chaos Magic known as Pop Culture Magick, I have found using characters from fandoms that I am into makes it easier to explain harder concepts.
Currently the fandom I am into is Transformers and being the nut job that I love myself as I thought the best way to understand the extreme basics of each shell of the Qlippoth/Klipot can be represented by a Decepticon who's personality and character actions fit a particular shell.
As I was studying and taking notes from a YouTuber (MorgueOfficial) who is posting weekly about the Qlippoth/Klipot called The Secrets of the Qlippoth/Tree of Death. He gives excellent and clear examples of the Qlippoth that anyone can understand it. Anywho, earlier this week he was talking about the Golohab the 5th Shell and the way he described it, it only reminded me of one Decepticon...
TARN!
It was clear as fucking day. Golohab is Tarn or if Golohab was a Transformer, that shell would be Tarn.
So this concept popped in my mind, what if I took one Decepticon for every sell and path of the Qlippoth/Klipot as a personal guide for me when I study the Tree of Death. Good idea, but there is a slight catch here. I have to find the right Decepticon for each of the paths and the remaining 10 shells.
So if anyone is interested in talking to me and possibly helping me figure out where the right Decepticon goes in the Qlippoth/Klipot, DM or message me.
“I think it’s very sad when love is unrequited, don’t you?”
WHY DO YOU LOOK SO DEPRESSED LAURA?? YOU WERE MARRIED TO THE SAME MAN FOR 27 YEARS.
What possible experience would she have with unrequited love??
Except-
The path of the initiate is a winding one. The very nature of our ascent is serpentine. It twists, turns. coils and goes back into itself. Ascension through the spheres is a gradual process. The mystic must take his time, watch his step and perform his work with devotion, or he will be consumed and annihilated by the Great Chaos. The Dragon compels us – but by degrees.
HO DRAKON HO MEGAS
I finally finished the Tree of Death from Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs de mal. The original piece was done in 1858 by an artist named Felix Bracquemond!
I did the best I could do with repainting this wonderful piece! It's now up for grabs as a one of a kind. I'm considering painting the other version Felix had made. But for now you can have a wonderful deadly tree. All hand painted, and hand sewn sides. There is a small doodle on the back of what I originally wanted to do, that's the only take away here, a solid piece none the less.
