Neat image.
So interesting…
I’m curious to know what thoughts it evokes from you
Tree of Life. There is a cycle that repeats itself every time you choose the right path. However, there is only one portal that allows you to experience this beauty.

Thank you for sharing
My zapplepay seems busted 😅
One thing I find interesting about this drawing is the snakes in the underworld, at the roots of the worldtree. There’s a cave system, and even a gate implying that that world is accessible but protected.
I find it interesting that the cosmological idea was of snakes in the underworld is appears to be a mythos that crosses cultures worldwide.
In #Buddhism and Hinduism, there is the idea of the Nagas: somewhat magical serpentine beings of the underworld. Sometimes good sometimes bad. Due some reverence or respect.
Wow… nice. I must look at closely.
