Female Deity Above on a Throne: While the Fates are often considered above the gods (even Zeus), they are sometimes depicted as daughters of Zeus and Themis (Goddess of Divine Order/Law) or Ananke (Necessity). The deity on the throne usually represents Ananke, Themis, or sometimes Athena, emphasizing that the Fates operate within a framework of cosmic law and absolute necessity rather than random chance.Collective Meaning: The scene illustrates the "Triumph of Fate" over mortals—no matter how high-born or virtuous, all must succumb to the thread cut by Atropos. The seated queen (often Ananke) represents the supreme, impersonal power of "Necessity" that governs all time and existence.This artistic motif, particularly common in the 19th century, highlights the philosophical belief that human life is predetermined and that acceptance of one's destiny is a mark of wisdom.
The three women spinning, measuring, and cutting the thread of human fate in Greek mythology are the Moirai (or Fates). They are daughters of Zeus and Themis (or Night) and determine the life span of every mortal. They are often depicted as three women, or sometimes as elderly spinners, often called Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.The three sisters are:Clotho ("The Spinner"): She spins the thread of human life.Lachesis ("The Alloter"): She measures the thread, determining the length of life.Atropos ("The Unturning"): She cuts the thread with her shears, representing the inevitability of death.
Thanks for an answer. Why is the woman on the left touching the celestial ring, the middle has her arm through mars and touching Saturn, while the one on the right, who we only see her from behind, is touching Jupiter?
That I do not know. I will check into that tomorrow. There is definitely a reason. Esoteric drawings are very interesting because every detail has a meaning. For instance the tiny mermaids 🧜♀️ .
I just realized you are not actually labeling things, rather you are using differently understood labels that describe the same fundamental concept from different sources, relating them to a central source.
Or I’m wrong and you agree with all the dogma that goes along with things like the demiurge;or that’s also wrong and you don’t agree with the common understanding and fit its core essence and not your preferred framework.
Pythagorean Use: The ancient Pythagoreans used the inverted pentagram (point down) to represent Pentemychos (five recesses or chambers), which symbolized harmony in nature, rather than anything negative.19th Century Change: The modern, "evil" interpretation was primarily popularized by 19th-century French occultist Éliphas Lévi, who argued that a reversed pentagram, "demonstrates the triumph of matter over spirit" and represents the, "goat of lust".
Mathematical Craftsman: The Demiurge does not create matter out of nothing, but rather imposes mathematical ratios, proportions, and geometric forms upon pre-existing, formless matter.Relationship to the Monad: The Demiurge is a product of the "One" or Monad, emanating from its excessive vitality. In Neoplatonism, this figure is sometimes metaphorically identified as Zeus—the organizing ruler, though not the ultimate source of existence.
I'm so grateful for your discovery and sharing this, as it comes perfectly timed for my interests. I'm wondering about the correspondences of the elements to the glyphs, and to the ratios. Could you illuminate more on how those are connected? How it is axiomatic in that seeing air and water as 1, fire as phi, earth as 1/phi (to put it simply), is where I have got to in my understanding. Do you think, additionally that the illustration where the woman on the left reaching her hand into that ovalate ratio is encoding the hand (from wrist to middle finger tip) as 1, or am I misinterpreting that oval is a ratio? I'd love a breakdown of how you see this symbolism in this image. Many blessings!
Thanks Ken, I am boycotting PayPal and will never use digital currency . I there another means to support your work ?

ok
Does it have any different meaning depending on if it pointed upward or downward?
Most benign symbols have been hijacked and inverted, just curious about this one. Seems like it could be the same thing either way but I dont know

Who are the three women spinning the wheels?

Must be a reason why someone drew them this way.

Most definitely! And you can see the rays of light coming from Apollo's ring
Does the Cosmic Egg stand on it's pointy bit?
Does the dew drop fall upside down?
Polaris is not beneath the horizon.....
The double vortex.....remember.
The penta of matter is upwards and clockwise.
The Penta of Aether is downwards and CC.
The lattice of existence....
The Star of David.
5(penta)becomes 6(hex).
The state of change.🤣, like regime🤣🤣
The dodecahedron quantified.
Fascinating stuff, got any more puzzles?
The spaced form inbetween the dodecahedron tesselation may reveal the counterspace elusive.
I hope your feeling better.
Cheers,
Michael.

Feel free to clarify.
Are you saying that the Demiurge is the Logos/ Illumination......? The Demiurge is the Lord of the Loosh/Cosmic Cannibal.
That 5 pointed star is upside down to attract astral beings.....
