My friend Dave had never tried sushi. When I suggested he try it he said, "Dinner's on me," and that's how we got here. OK maybe it didn't happen exactly like that.

Yesod, the Ninth Sphere on the Tree of Life. It represents manifestation, dreams, illusion, and the astral plane. It's thought of as the foundation and scaffolding for our physical world. Here stands the Magickal Image of Yesod - "a beautiful naked man, very strong" - experiencing the Vision of the Machinery of the Universe. He's surrounded by the tools, symbols, and colors of this sphere of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.

This was the beginning of a photo series on the Dionysian/Apollonian dichotomy. I chose this subject because the model was particularly interested in it. The combined images didn't work out, but the three Dionysus photos above came out very nice.
In this dichotomy, championed by Nietzsche, Apollo represents the Light side of human nature and Dionysus represents the Dark. The Light is logic, rationality, order, and constraint. The Dark is wild, unbridled, chaotic, and emotional. This dichotomy comes from art and literary criticism and wasn't a part of actual Greek religion.
