023: SCORPIO TOTEM

Scorpio Totem — “The Abyss Serpent & Ink-Eyed Panther”

From the cavern’s black mouth, a serpent coils in silence — each scale etched with sigils of lives once shed. Behind it moves the panther: slow, certain, untouched by flame. This is Scorpio: the one who enters the void willingly, and returns altered — radiant in ruin, rich in root.
