The Kykeon and Icon of Hygeia A gentle painting for a harsh transit. not unpleasantly rough for most people but for a few who believe in the Eucharist and a god instituted by the church it could be. As a medical personification of health, Hygeia was daughter of Asklepios, the god of medicine. Traditionally Asklepios is known for his staff with a serpent which integrates similar details with the Caduceus of Hermes. I selected the Greek goddess in this painting in favor of other deities because of her relationship between three symbols. The first being the molting snake going through various phases in an immutable soulful way-a vehicle or vehiculum Second, the amuletic badge ' the Pythagorean pentagram ' belonging naturally to an order that expresses health, inspiration and harmony. The third is the cup that contains the passage into the circle with which the diameter or chord passes through everlasting life and the hidden order of natural geometry .
