United States of Archonica, Vol. 3

Here’s the latest from the U.S. Archonica series, which I’ll turn into t-shirts etc within a week’s time:

Since the previous items in the series were about the gnostic bad guys, this one’s for the resistance. Pictured here is the sacramental use of the anokhi, the soma, the sacred mushroom, the Tree of Knowledge, the Body of Christ. The chalice itself is also a mushroom shape with an inverted top - which I never realized before. The mushroom in the center piercing the edge of the chalice is also an oblique reference to the Hindu union of lingam and yoni. There is one mushroom for the transformation of each of the five senses, which together create a total transfiguration of the Black Iron Prison into the Palm Tree Garden.

    I like the design, except the “Archon” part–It’s kind of like wearing a McDonald’s T-shirt with a plate of spinach on it. You should include the “Palm Tree Garden” line somewhere.

    The other two were great, no complaints.

    Yeah I get what you’re saying channel null. I thought about making it say “United States of Amanita” instead. I think once I have like a real solid series of them, say maybe a dozen or so, I’ll come back and reconsider these issues and figure out the best way to package them together and singly.
