About this piece:
This artwork is layered with symbolism, weaving ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) deities with Thelemic mysticism — a modern esoteric system that reframes those gods and myths as living metaphors for cosmic and psychological principles.
It’s has been created as an occult map — every symbol encodes philosophical or spiritual ideas. It’s meant to be read symbolically, like sacred geometry or alchemical art.
Blending Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) myth — the pantheon and cosmology of gods like Nut (Nuit), Set, Horus, and
Thelemic philosophy — a 20th-century spiritual system developed by Aleister Crowley, built around the idea of “True Will”: the unique divine purpose of every individual.
In Thelema, Egyptian gods are used symbolically to describe universal forces — not as literal beings, but as archetypes of consciousness.
Nuit (from Egyptian Nut) is the sky goddess, the infinite space arching over the world. In Kemetic art, she’s drawn as a blue woman covered in stars, bending over the earth.
In Thelema, she is the infinite, formless expanse of possibility — everything that can be.Her body is the universe; all stars and souls are contained within her.
So, she’s both cosmic mother and the field of consciousness itself — the “womb of all creation.”
The Winged Solar Disc is a very old Egyptian symbol of Ra-Horus and the sun’s creative power — the spark of divine light that travels through the heavens.
In Thelema, this becomes Hadit, the complement to Nuit:
Nuit = Infinite space (the total potential).
Hadit = The infinitesimal point (the spark within each being).
Together they express a kind of sacred polarity —
 Nuit is the all-embracing sky; Hadit is the star within it. The winged disc at the centre represents that spark — individual consciousness — suspended in the vast body of Nuit.
The desert and black flame invokes Set, the Egyptian god of storms, disorder, and necessary chaos.
In myth, Set opposes Horus — but this isn’t “evil” in Thelema; it’s the counterbalance to structure and order.
In the desert — Set’s domain — creation meets destruction. Chaos is what keeps form alive, always shifting and renewing.
Symbolising the balancing chaos that exists alongside cosmic order — not as a negative force, but as an essential polarity.
Inspired by the writings from the Book of Law
“Above the gemmed azure is the naked splendour of Nuit. She bends in ecstasy to kiss the secret ardours of Hadit.” — Liber AL vel Legis
This is the core poetic image of Thelema.
It describes the eternal union of:
Nuit (the infinite feminine / cosmos)
Hadit (the individual masculine / spark of consciousness)
When they unite, creation happens — all existence arises from the love-play between form and formlessness, between the One and the Many.
The piece is about the relation between form and formless. Cosmic order and chaos. In the middle of it all our divine will and spark of consciousness
