The universal knowledge of the snake refers to the telluric energy of the earth. In this painting, the stars and the sky, and the scales of the snake all blend into the water underneath. Everything is interconnected. On the left you can see the shape of a temple that mingles with these stars and sky, all of which start at the light – at the wisdom of the snake – and they rise up from the waters below it. Ancient civilizations attempted to touch the sky through their architecture and rituals, to be closer to the spiritual world and reach the cosmical serpent.
