Very interesting a lot of alchemical archetypes the sphinx is Aquarius-Leo (Man-Lion) and the mermaid is Virgo-Pisces (Woman-Fish) both the synthesis of the opposite signs of the Zodiac. It would be an interesting exercise to draw the other four to complete the six duality 's of the Zodiac. You were obviously an arcane student in a past life. My 3rd Kabbala post is about 80% ready and I'll add some Astrology subject matter to it.
