"The Symbol of the Blessed Accurser"

This is my "Symbol of the Blessed Accurser," the "Blessed Accurser" part simply denoting its dual role in death and life. I had an experience with this symbol involving the suicide of a friend you can read about HERE . This is a symbol I have been doodling and drawing and painting on my bedroom walls ever since I was about 13 years old. When I was young and naive and idealistic I thought it to represent the love between many types of people and other races. I have variations of it and sometimes the cross is on top of the face in which case it denotes "Symbolic Self-Annihilation," an ideogram to represent the annihilation of the spiritual Self talked about in various religions, something Christ represents, as the sperm, when he dies and screams and moans on the cross, splattered in the passionate BLOOOOOOD which represents all of our leaking souls. The colors change sometimes and sometimes there is a sun in the background and sometimes the eyes shed tears. Sometimes the four colors surrounding the center, at the intersection of penis and vagina represent the different colors of people's skin. At times I think of it as the elements, Earth, Wind, Fire and Air or, to be influenced by Kierkegaard and Freud a tad you can attach to them the properties of being qualitative categories of existence, viz., aesthetics, logic, carnality and ethics, and if you attach these categories closely enough with your mind and imagine it as light shining on a sweet, fragrant flower petal, meditating upon different people, occurences and symbols in your life you can create a fusion of your mind's light and superficial appeances of reality which destroys your sense of identity, your ego, and drive yourself schizophrenic, or ENLIGHTENED as some might like to say. Hahahahahahahaha. AROOOOOOOOO! I'm a werewolf! A TACO WeReWOLf at that!
