This piece was inspired by Aleister Crowley's Ceremonial Scorpion bowl, which is located at the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft & Magick in Cleveland, Ohio. I finally visited the Buckland Museum this past summer and left feeling truly inspired. After seeing some really great artifacts, the owner was kind enough to show me original illustrations by Rosaleen Norton that were not on display to the public.
