Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 In thanks, I thought that I'd share the image of Padmasambhava that appears above my major home-shrine. It is Padmasambhava entering his Rainbow Body (an event far beyond my imagination whereby one's physical body is so energized that it becomes pure energies). I attach a picture of another thanka, very, very similar to mine. Beneath this image I keep a 14" Shiva-lingam, a very elegant Padmasambhava rupa and an very, very old Indian image of Ganesh with trunk twisting left (tantrics will understand this). For those innocent of Padmasambhava I attach a more usual image. Thank you, Scott Sidebar to Aquesa & Sy: I have created two separate versions of the Tarot major trumps. I have destroyed both. They were inadequate. However: were I to retry a rendition of the Magician, I would use Rainbow Padmasambhava as the base image. Ravi Shankar said somewhere that it takes at least three incarnations to become a competent sitar player...I wonder how many are required to empower one to render a truly spiritual Tarot...I do know that the final trump, The World, would be rendered via the base image of the two-sexed Shiva/Shakti.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Sorry, no picture and I do not own a camera. It looks pretty much like all the other lingams except the red "splash", while a well behaved horizontal oval on one side, on the other looks for all the world like Merlin (Shiva?) madly dancing. Besides this I own one small lingam, about the size of half a thumb, which I often carry around in a medicine bag. I once knew of a collection of perhaps 12 or 14 large lingams, which the owner would arrange in a circle, sort of like Stonehenge. Together they created an energy field impossible to ignore. Do you ever grid yours up like this? I have always treated this lingam like a special, special sacred stone but I have never attempted to replicate the Indian forms of veneration. This one gets rubbed with marble polish to keep it in good shape and, now and again, I dump a very fine essential oil of rose on it to keep its vibes high. It sits atop an African bracelet made of stone...and has a swatch of black silk for a robe...Ganesh seems real content to sit by its side. Sometimes I put it outside for a few days, to let the sunlight and wind and rain and earth invigorate it... scott , "Dashiki Djibouti" <dashiki_djibouti@h...> wrote: > do you have a pic of the siva linga? 14" is pretty big.
