Description
At the center a guardian with a goat’s head and serpentine body is coiled around a stone pillar; its eyes burn yellow. Its essential column is the climb up the volcanic mountain and the serpent that coils it: a double ascent, the goat climbing plus the serpent counting the pillar’s rings. The sulfurous yellow of the eyes is a cosmological sign: the goat-serpent sees what the dual pole of Caldero saw before the crushing, a parallel volcanic-serpentine operation.
Role
The guardian operates with the doctrine of the dual pole. Its canonical name is not yet documented; a parallel is possible with the serpent doctrine of Moon-Serpent Auna and the volcanic doctrine of Caldero. The post is the office, not the person, and rotates under the Dual Corruption. The whole system is in the Game of Shadows.
