The Septagram {Tau Numatam}

The Numatam or Septagram, is the most sacred of symbols. It is the symbol of our faith and of whole we are as a people. Much like the Cross is to Christians, Star of Davis is to Jews, the Pentagram is to Wiccans and the Greek Key is to Pagan Greeks. The Numatam has many stories, philosophies, and applications attached to it. In the Autumn Wood Tradition the earth symbolized the divine, as the interconnectedness of all things was the sacred message throughout their lives. Nothing was separate from the other, each life force bound to the other and explains the importance of the earth being regarded as our mother who provides for us with food, shelter, and holds water for us when we thirst. There was no one symbol that represented all their philosophies. The tree, the mountain, the river, and the animal were all symbolic and connected to the divine. To further this belief and philosophy the Numatam today represents the seven ideals which those of the Bowynn Tradition uphold and strive for in life, each a guide to daily living.

The points refer to the seven virtues prized by all who follow The Autumn Wood tradition – Peace, Charity, Love, Courage, Kindness, Spirituality and Balance.

Secondly the points refer to the seven principles as mentioned above – Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Soul, Spirit and Balance.

The Numatam also represents the 7 aspects of the forest under which we need to survive – Forest, Wind, Rain/Stream, Hearth, Sun, Moon and Balance.

The Numatam also represents the 7 guilds under which our clans come together as, and each member has a part to partake in – Warriors, Mages, Healers, Weavers, Harvesters, Bards and Librarians.

The Numatam represents the Seven Swords of the Wild Wood, Give to the first 7 chiefs of the first 7 tribes. (This will be touched on later on) – Dennon, Eurya, Kell, Ryos, Aevos, Halis and Tenlon.

The Numatam represents the 7 great rites that befalls a member in the course of his/her life (providing that they are born to the clan – Birth, Naming, Adolescence, Adulthood, Marriage, Death and Resurrection.

Each Line of the Numatam represent a sacred pathway that we follow and meditate on

Lastly, we come to the sphere that encases it all. The circle representing the connection of all of these qualities into one. The circle of life. Totality and enclosure. The embrace of arms around you by the gods.

These philosophies provided here are a general guide and each point and line can be expanded on in great lengths. The Numatam is a wonderful meditation meant to be experienced and explored. One can find even greater meanings to the Numatam through meditation and reflection. For us, and some who practice the following philosophies, feel that the points reflect values in which we choose to honor. The journey through the points is like reading a story with hidden wisdom.

A final word about the Numatam. While most other faiths feel that wearing their holy symbol brings them closer to their divine, Bowynn need not do so. While some Bowynn name were the Numatan as a bracelet, necklace, ring or have it tattooed or painted on their skin, it is not required by any divine law. We live withing the confines of the Numatam. It is with us and all about us wherever we travel. So, one need not have to feel you must by a Numatam pendant.

My familiar is unfamiliar. Features once known are tainted. An expression unrecognisable. Coveted the conversion is, sought and bought. Amiss. Awry. Hazy. unsure. Undefined. Faded and forgotten is the once-before. The now has arrived. Post-then. Post-was. The journey continues.

To partially explain the Eldritch Horror tag, there are Old Gods in this world and actual magic. It is just the future so everything is fused with technology, the Gods of Metal rule more in public, and the OGs do not care. Even if they had no worshippers, the Old Gods do not need us. We are nothing to them. Some people and things have become Divine Parasites that take a small portion of power from the infinite being of these ancient creatures. The OGs do not normally notice these things feeding on them.

For future reference the Old Gods are:

They Who Hunger

They Who Deal in Corpses

They Who Walk Upon the Mountains(Rooftops)

They Who Burn in the Void

They Who Watch from the Dark

They Who Drag from Below

They Who Bind

Sacrifice is an understatement. Forgoing. Forgone. Going into one’s self. Retreat. Fear. Finding light in the dark. Burning through, you must continue.

From Zbigniew M. Bielak:

Before it became what you all know, Impera started out as a whole different beast. When I began working on the cover art, I was still very much oriented towards dark and unsettling vibes set by Mgła and Imperial Triumphant cover artworks I did not long before. In my work I always strived to balance elusive feeling of unease and some kind of monumentalism, as I believe that’s what makes art great. It’s not easy and it relies on nuance if anything. So naturally I wanted to convey such grim vibes on Impera, pushing it toward Giger vibes present on To Mega Therion cover as it resonated very well with the Crowley theme. Albeit less literal and more abstract with emphasis on unholy geometry of heptagrams and new grucifix. In the meantime we decided to bring out the cathedral interior and as you can see from last images, I redrew all the architecture retaining basic geometry along the cityscape on back cover. I also mirrored the centerfigures face and hands for I believe much better visual balance. So, there you go - everything good is born in throes of painful process. And all that for the better in the end. Enjoy.
