I like the purity and strength of the lillies in a rather threatening path to the island. Surely the stalks help each other on the way!

To me, this represents karma and being punished for something. In wiccan rituals, there is a law of threefold: "whatever negative energy you put out into the world will come back at you threefold." And white lillies represent death. It looks like who ever is going to the threefold island put out some pretty negative energy.

Karma is a mathematical impossibility, just like perpetual motion.

One gets what one paints. Yes it's magic, and the term 'artist' is what the shamans and wizards of the past entitle themselves nowadays. It's a good hiding place among profanum vulgus.
