I was thinking about what you and Rose have been talking about. I think you have a good idea going. Alot of what I have seen in rituals is imagining the dietys and drawing pents and so on and so forth. I see no reason why a ritual couldent be represented in a painting. Even better say for a banishing or any elemental ritual, you couldent have say a room with the walls painted the appropriate colors and forms. I'm new with this stuff so I dont know much beyond resh and banashing ;) .When entering such a room the imagining of the elements would be more powerful du to the fact that you are surounded in the colors and images and there much more pronounced. if your going to represent a ritual of anykind in a painting it would take a great deal of reserch but once you have it to your likeing (only problem is that everyone sees difrent images and your *painting* might not work for them) everytime you imagine this painting it would bring forth the result you would get from doing the ritual. Of coarse just an image might not be as powerfull and a ritual is much more fun. ;) Even if the painting wasnt inteded to replace a ritual I think it would make a great *guide* to understanding and geting the images your looking for. well I dont know if what I said makes any sense but I dont post too often. I'm a bit out of place comunicating in this media so dont mind my rabbling if its bothering you. ;) Love is the law, love under will.
