Illustration created for my upcoming new book, Ergo Cosmos!

"The first of the alchemists was he who set fire to the pyre upon which the Veiled Lady burned. To atone for such a sin, all those who are privy to the Highest Secrets swear to use the hand of will exclusively to restrain evil, and the hand of intuition only to perform good deeds. From this sorrowful figure derives the name of this sacred commitment, which is commonly known as the Oath of Minos."

"Death, Beauty, and Harmony seem inextricably intertwined, Tragedy inexorable! But what if there existed a Kingdom so blessed that the absence of that cruel note would not diminish its perfection? That is the Reign of Mirac, whose path lies concealed at the Pole of the Holy Moon."

May you find a slice of joy and solace in my work! I keep creating for this reason.
