When Obscura Digital ran the show first in New York, instead of exclusively focusing on the beauty of creation or the plight of endangered animals, the creators bizarrely weaved unrelated elements into the show, including full-blown images of pagan goddesses.

“We have Gaia, and Aya, and Mother Earth appears,” said Travis Threlkel, founder and creative director of Obscura, in an August interview about the New York version of the show.

The greek pagan goddess Gaia is a Greek Mother Earth who has been appropriated by worshipers of nature. Aya is a Babylonian mother goddess associated with the rising sun and with sexual love.

It was near the New York show’s end that the images of the pagan goddesses appeared in full view.

Predominantly displayed was an image of Kali, the Hindu goddess of death and destruction. Kali, who was depicted with a long blood red tongue and whose name means “the black one,” promises wealth to those who worship her by satiating her lust for blood by human sacrifice. Daily human sacrifices of young children were offered on her altars in India until 200 years ago. She has since been culturally appropriated by New Age spirituality as a kind of Mother Earth goddess.

“Android” Andrew Jones, the artist working with Obscura Digital to create the images, said at that time that he wanted to depict Mother Earth in her “fiercest form” to draw attention to what might happen if people ignored the implications of climate change. Jones admitted in an interview last month that he uses “psychedelic substances” (mind altering drugs) to help him portray the occult deities accurately. He said the deities are “actively involved, enrolled, and contributing” in guiding his hand as he makes the work.
