"The imagery for The Heart of the Great Weaving was inspired by a series of synchronicities between Elisa's encounters with spiders, both real and as archetypes, and my reading of Kenneth Grant's Typhonian Trilogy, in which he discusses the occult significance of the spider. Both Elisa and Grant see the spider as a powerful meditation tool. Elisa's request for imagery of a golden spider whose web can manipulate reality immediately reminded me of Grant's description of the spider's legs connecting to different points in time and space. I chose to depict the web as a wireframe of soundwaves, with each of the spider's legs creating its own ripple in reality. To bring it all home, I have a great interdimensional spider hovering over and interacting with our beautiful city in the mountains." ~ HMJ
