"Commission. The Veil of Paroketh" by Isabelle L Davis

Vvlkn is a wonderful red dragon, indeed. Magnificent wings. Curious about the title, commissioner’s choice? There is much to think of regarding the title and the subject of this picture. The veil Paroketh is a term used by occultists regarding the Tree o f Life. On googling, I get --

(from Thelemapedia – Encyclopedia of Thelema & Magic)
"On the Tree of Life, the Veil of Paroketh falls below Tiphareth, marking a division between the triad of Chesed, Geburah, and Tiphareth and the sephiroth below, much as the Veil of the Abyss marks the division between Kether, Chokmah, and Binah and the sephiroth below."

(from Magical Golden Dawn – The Tree of Life)
"As we come down the Tree of Life we now reach the Second Veil. The Second Veil is called Paroketh which means Portal and it’s the Portal through which we must travel to reach our Soul. It’s also the Portal through which the first order member of the Golden Dawn must pass in order to become an Adept."

"Paroketh is called the Veil of Illusion because what we see below this veil is an illusion. Reality is on the other side. Our soul resides in the true reality. Our ego and persona reside in the illusion of reality. Paroketh is also called the Curtain of Fire which refers to the fact that the World of Fire is located beneath the World of Water on the Tree of Life. As we descend into matter we must cross this Curtain of Fire."
