POMEGRANATE OF MALKUTH
Eat not of the delicious Pomegranate
lest thou entrap thyself in the grand illusion! They say; "Find instead the Philosophers Stone
by seeking to the center of the Earth!"
And so my journey has begun, to find the Eye of the One!
Malkuth is the base of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and as the base, is the Kingdom on which all is based. Because of Malkuths Earth-symbology, the pomegranate was chosen as its representation. Within the copper-plated fruit, I have placed quartz crystal as a symbolic representation of the Alchemical Philosophers Stone. Atop the quartz, I have placed a crown fabricated to reflect Kether. The crown reminds the spiritual aspirant that even when Kether is obtained, one will stand where one has started -- as Kether is in Malkuth, so Malkuth is in Kether.
