Hermanubis is the syncretic Greco-Egyptian deity fusing Hermes and Anubis. Like Hermes, he carries the Caduceus staff, but here it's transfigured into a memento mori more befitting to a psychopomp. This isn't the modern symbol for medicine of the flesh. Here it's a more ancient alchemy of the spirit. A revelation that follows dissolution.

The serpents and wings are stripped of vitality and reduced to bone; spiraling in flight not of the body, but of the soul. They attend to the skeletal gem which crowns the staff; a hypercube. The Platonic shadow of a higher dimensional truth, cast into the geometry of space-time. A paradoxical object that can't fully exist in our world, yet impresses itself upon it. Not unlike the Gods, our Souls, or The Imagination.

This isn't a symbol of safety. It's a glyph of initiation. Of confronting entropy not as an end, but as an unfolding gate.
