3k

I present to you a contest that doesn’t require reblogs or likes or even that you follow me (though odds are probably better that you’d see this if you did, but stranger things have happened).

As a thank you to everyone spreading my work, and to celebrate 3k followers, I’ve gif’d a cypher over one of my paintings. The first three people to solve this and send me the answer will receive a @gifpop lenticular print of their choice of anything from my archive.

On the other hand, if there are no successful answers within the lunar cycle, the Abyss will open and Chaos will devour the Universe, so get solving.

EDIT: Three winners (well, four, really)

Four people have solved the cypher, since one involved international shipping and was kind enough to waive his prize (thanks, Ned!). Solution is as follows:

It was a Vigenere Cypher, whose key was the word HORUS, which is represented in the background and by the hieroglyph in the eye. Once decoded, the message reads -

The Crowned And Conquering Child Who Dieth Not Nor Is Reborn, But Goeth Radiant Ever Upon His Way. Even So Goeth The Sun For As It Is Now Known That Night Is But The Shadow Of The Earth So Death Is But The Shadow Of The Body That Veileth His Light From Its Bearer x Aleister Crowley x
