The Rose Gate of the Underworld represents the womb-tomb of cosmic rebirth. In Sumerian mythology, the Goddess Inanna, Queen of Heaven, descends through Seven Gates (the seven chakras) to meet her dark sister Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld, who kills and resurrects Inanna.
Astrologically, this Rose Gate corresponds to the Venus's descent below the horizon and behind the Sun, where she "dies" as the Morning Star and is "reborn" as the Evening Star. In the Rose Priestess mystery teachings, this energetic portal corresponds to the Earth Star Chakra, located 6-18" below one's feet.
This painting features a black and white Dragon Rose, a rare variety of rose with multicolored petals due to crossbreeding. Symbolizing the simultaneous expression of life and death, the Dragon Rose blooms from the Earth's magmic core.
In a matrix of geometric poetry, the rose is surrounded by glowing Dragon Lines, a system of underground energy channels. As these glowing channels intersect, they become a complex spider's web, glistening in the cavernous dark, reflecting the neon colors of nightlife.
X-ray images of roses are etched into the paint like ghosts. This mysterious and multilayered painting honors the dark embrace of fertile soil, where decomposition sets the stage for new life.
