The Serpent transforms into his adopted identity Naga the Deity while offering his service to Goddess Nemesis.
We plot revenge, while retribution is the will of the universe. If it was ever disclosed, my complete profile would reveal all sorts of minority groups, starting with my gender and race. I have been harassed on many levels throughout my life, but I lacked the stomach to carry out revenge. This was a blessing in disguise because retribution eventually manifested itself. Revenge wastes our lives, but all that the universe asks of us is to be patient while rebuilding our lives.
SERPENT, aka NAGA, the eight-headed deity. The snake
represents the frailty that sees us stray from the path and often into
darkness. Big predators make the headlines,
but ordinary people are tempted to commit small-scale cheating when shielded
under the mantle of anonymity. On good
days we can fight off the temptation, but on bad days when we have justlost
something, and the world seems unfair, our hands reach out for it while a
sinking feeling spreads inside our hearts, warning us that this is not the way
to get even with life. However, God or
the universe may not mind if the gain is minimal? So we tell ourselves.
NAGA represents
the second chance and atonement in life.
GODDESS IRIS/NEMESIS: Instead of picking one
from the existing religions, all of which I respect, I opted to represent the
universe's will via Goddess IRIS. God gave us light, and Goddess followed
it up with the sound, but as sound travels slower than light, no one knows her
existence despite benefiting from her gift, music. Something turned this
once open-book IRIS into NEMESIS, Goddess of Retribution.
THE SPIRIT of LOUIS XIII: The king of France who reigned from 14 May 1610 –
to 14 May 1643. Enigmatic character the world may not have fully
appreciated, not unlike the current, which can be substantial even if the river
looks calm.
OMELETTE: the dog who was the pet of Louis XIII in its former
life.
