This is a new Tlaloc image for Elphintome's Galaktik trading cards. Here is his info:
Tlaloc is a God of Balance and Rhythm in nature manifesting as rains, floods, life, death, flowering, desolation and abundance. The cycles and order that he dances in can be predicted to a point; but the natural deep rhythm of fluid transformation is above the intellect. Tlaloc is similar to Shiva, the Hindu God of Destruction who destroys not for evil purposes but to renew and reinvigorate the world.
This visual facet of Tlaloc utilizes aspects of his classic form with new symbols to shape and focus this energy in a positive manner. In his right hand, he holds a lightening bolt, one of his classic symbols, which also appears as a serpentine vine. The vine itself reveals its binary nature, negative electrical energy at the top attracts and transforms, while the bottom of the vine is positively aligned, churning out rainbows from the heavens. (This can also allude to Kundalini energy, the coiled serpent of abundant energy and inspiration in our spine) The right hand itself is the agent of active engagement in the world, jolting us through the veils to greater understanding of the natural world's rhythm and the dance of life, death and and the transformation of one into the other, and back again, through time. This soul wisdom is timeless and infinite not always easy to absorb because its effect is instantaneous and transformative, like a lightening bolt, to the ego. In Tlaloc's left hand, the place of receptivity, he holds a blue lotus, a symbolizing rebirth in Egypt and peaceful purity in Hinduism and Buddhism. Anyone receptive to this wisdom will endure purification and be reborn to blossom anew, resistance however, can bring great pain upon the ego. Perhaps if one is truly receptive to the lotus, one can receive the wisdom of the vine through peaceful meditation. Each soul will find its own path.
