Not really what I look for in a board, but still GLWIC
Some odd representations of duality tho ngl. Ouroboros isn't really juxtaposed by the skull. Like I get that it's pitting infinity against death, which is the "opposite" of going on forever but I think that's a very close minded way of looking at death. When something dies new life sprouts from it and sustains itself from it. Along with the Petrine cross on the front not only seems to throw off the general balance of the board but doesn't really seem to have any symbolic value besides being some oft misinterpreted iconography.
The goat is a good choice I guess tho. Not entirely familiar with it besides the whole "Oooh spooky satan goat" **** that pop culture loves but from what little I know it is representative of duality so I guess that's kinda on brand.
If I'm off base let me know, but when you're using interpretation as a selling point for this board, and my interpretation is that your symbols may not be the best suited for the stated theme, that isn't really a good sign.
Well aside from there being like 5 mounting configs.... let me shed some light on the concept and imagery.
-Two-tone colorways except for the all black (Raven) and all silver (Vision) which are essentially a representation of yin and yang type duality themselves.
-2 plate design: Needing 2 different plates to enable all mounting configurations
-Duality within the individual art
-The upside down cross. People see it and instantly think "evil, devil, satan, bad, etc.", but this was originally the cross of St. Peter. It was later co-opted by non-religious groups such as the Satanic Temple (not to be confused by the crazy Church of Satan) typically as tongue and cheek when trying to combat the institutional churches seeping into legislation.
-The Baphomet on the back. Again people see the baphomet and pentagram and are terrified of it. The baphomet has a lot to do with nature, balance, creation and destruction (to join together and separation), justice and mercy, etc. The pentagram was originally used in ancient Greece as a symbol of wellbeing, good deeds, and charity.
-Even within this, there is the duality or misconception of the uses of this imagery when it comes to things such as the Satanic Temple. They are non-religious and focus on empathy, reason, and advocacy. One of the main things they are proponents of is "The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word."
-The Ouroboros on the inside is specifically about the cycles of life/the universe. Creation and destruction, or life and death.
-The inscription on the internal accent is "As above, So below, As within, So without, As the universe, So the soul"
-There is Duality, specifically for myself, relating to the more serious internal art vs the more playful external art on the weight. It represents the fun, friendly, approachable light-hearted external personality and my more serious and existential internal.
-I am quite antitheistic when it comes to religious institutions and as they relate to mechanisms of control. I am pro spirituality though. If that make sense without writing another essay. So yes, part of it is to poke fun at religious fundamentalism with imagery on a keyboard. But more importantly, it is to evoke SOMETHING. Whether you are or aren't religious, there are very interesting and critical conversations to be had. Which this board has definitely accomplished. We have had some great and nuanced philosophical conversations in the discord already.
