Ziggetai is a collective of artists established in 2022 by the late author Caiseal Mor, who passed away today after a short but intense encounter with cancer.

This pair are two characters from Veil of the Gods. He is Namkia Nam and she is Zagger Shkeet. They're also our avatars, sculpted in 3D and ready to drop into whatever Metaverse will have them.

I'm having a lot of fun sculpting avatars.

I've been quiet about my work for a while. Mostly because I've been practicing some techniques. And I’ve still got a long way to perfecting those techniques, BTW. I just thought I'd share... Mahjeena Jahrool Of all the Mahjeem, Jahrool is the most enigmatic, and the least mentioned, character from the old stories. Yet, she was likely one of the most gifted Mahjuti practitioners to have ever lived. At least, that’s what the word was in every tavern from Purush to Kusht. The truth was a little less impressive, though quite unique, in its own way. Jahrool had a blue Azuranium crystal ball. And with that ball she could see into the spirit worlds and the subtle sub-worlds beyond. And she rarely, if ever, liked what she saw.

Here’s a little video about me and my work...

I've been away from Veil of the Gods and Ziggetai for a while. Mainly that's because I've been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. It's a roller coaster. Who knows what might happen?

After pondering the enormity of this situation for some weeks I sat down to create a magical glyph. This graphic spell is designed and intended to draw in life force energy and convert it to health and wealth and joy.

In my graphic novel, "Veil of the Gods", Glyphs are one aspect of a vast magical technology that encompasses all the creative arts. This technology is called Mahjuti. Mastery of these symbols and the creation of new ones takes a lifetime of dedicated study, practice and experimentation.

These are some of the final paintings I've been working on since just before my diagnosis of stage 4 cancer. I don't have more than a week left but I'm still creating and hope to be right up till the end.

Exhausted from another fourteen-hour shift, Yonani Khan sat back in her favourite armchair with a sigh. She only meant to rest her eyes for a moment, but she slipped into a deep, coma-like sleep straight away.

Yona rarely recalled her dreams. She joked, that there wasn’t anything worth remembering about them. This one, however, was different. She was walking along an inexplicably familiar hallway lit by piercing cyan. As much as it felt like home, she had no memory of the place and that startled her a little.

A large glass bubble enclosed her head and the air pumping into it was sweet. The scented freshness reminded her of the pristine mountain ranges that stand at the edge of the known world. Yona frowned.

How could that be? She’d never actually been anywhere near the southern continent. She’d never been out of the city. Her head was buzzing with questions. A little stab of anxiety fluttered her heartbeat. Somehow, she suppressed her confusion and determined to walk on without distraction. An instinct told her, that she could not afford to be late.

That first sleep-vision was the most straightforward one. After that her dreams got really, really interesting.

So, here's the first card of the Ziggetai Oracle deck. This is Mahjeena Jahrool. Still lots of digital touch ups to do and the insert of titles, but I think she's looking good. This is just a teaser. I hope you consider yourself teased.

The Oracle Deck will take the form of an app that draws a card and reveals it's meaning for the reader. Each card is a character or location from my upcoming graphic novel, "Veil of the Gods".

The deck will only be available as an NFT and the number of NFTs will be limited.

There will be three tiers of ownership, bronze, silver and gold, each with their own specific utilities attached. And there'll be music in the background.

We're so fortunate to have such a dedicated Dev team creating the app and our minting Dapp. Much gratitude...

The countdown to mint has begun.

Before this year is out we'll be minting two graphic novels; the first chapter of Veil of the Gods and, before that, The Book of Mahjuti.
