Samyaza's legacy is one that etched itself into the world forever. He stood at the head of the most powerful, wise and righteous band of creatures to ever walk the face of the earth. That sort of power would corrupt any of us. If only he hadn't succumb to it, there would be no bounds to what the Watchers could have achieved.
Despite the fact that Samyaza's actions brought humanity to the brink of destruction and doomed hundreds of angels to damnation. Despite this, I don't want to fully denounce his actions. His sin is pride, an emotion we all have a mixed experience with. It's a complicated feeling that comes with as much temptation as it does danger.

The feeling of dread. We know something is approaching and as our mind fails to find a form for it, our own imagination becomes our worst enemy. That feeling of looking into the dark and seeing nothing is a familiar experience to all of us.
Walking alone, Bezaliel is stalked by his shadow. A projection of his inner self, manifested as something larger. Even though he can feel its presence, it waits silently in an unseen place.

When you've realized that you've started something that you have no ability to stop, the horror starts to set in. I worked to give Ananiel this feeling. As I'm getting closer to the end of the Watchers series, I've mined my own experiences deeper and deeper rather than simply attempting to represent what each of the Angels represents on their surface.
As per usual, there will only be 25 copies of the LE print made for this piece.

With all the Watchers, their tragedy lies in their greatest aspirations. Turiel conquered every challenge, won every contest and brought down ever adversary. In the end, it was his own greed that vanquished him. Deep in the mountain, he guards his horde alone. This is an old story and it's told over and over again because it never stops speaking to our nature. An obsession with holding on to our victories at any cost can lead anyone to ruin.
Like Chazaqiel, I'm only printing 25 of these, including the ones reserved by my Patreon supporters.

There is something about coins that I find utterly magnetic. The pure simplicity of them is so beautiful to me. Coins are inherently mysterious. Despite their obvious simplicity, a major aspect of it is always hidden. Seeing the way that both sides take on unique characteristics as you turn it in your hand is magical to me.
I created this coin to accompany the Book of Emanations and I will be creating more unique coins to accompany any future books. Each one represents the core duality that lies at the heart of the continuum of ideas expressed in the book.

I want to start addressing some common customer service questions in a public way so that you know what to expect when you are buying art from us. To start, we should talk about the most common frustration people have when it comes to ordering things from Angelarium.net. Sometimes, packages get shipped 2-3 weeks after they were purchased.
First, let me explain why and then I'll move on to what we are doing to improve the situation.
