At the CoSM crew Seder a few weeks ago, we discussed the Dragon Gate. Susan Buck mentioned that perhaps dragons on the frontgate with two naked people might not be our best calling card to the greater community. Could there be a more welcoming expression of CoSM's presence? Out of that discussion came Alex's drawing of the Angelgate, a partial vision he had previously in Egypt.
Two heavenly beings made of both plant and animal worlds, with artists brushes as feathers, bow before the circle of the world. Between their profiles, the silhouette of the Chapel, and where their foreheads kiss, the sun.
Symbolically the Chapel unites heaven and earth. Interlacing sacred geometry, referencing Allyson's artwork, is the structure over which the angels pray, and toward which the angels lean.
Harmonic relationships are patterned throughout the natural world. Sacred geometry teaches us that the square represents the material realm and all that is human made. The triangle is the mind, rooted on the earthly plain and pointing upward. The circle is spirit eternal. The Angel Gate design integrates these symbols.
An Eagle and a Condor are portrayed in the wings. The Pacha Mama prophecy of South America declares that a new era will dawn when the eagle and condor fly together. The people of the North are represented by the Eagle, focused on development in the material realm. The people of the Condor are intuitive and earth honoring. The eagle and the condor flying together means the marriage of knowledge and wisdom, bringing an era of balance and peace.
