Covers polar cosmology as the original paradigm buried by the heliocentric model, Mercury and Hermes and Thoth as inherently polar gods with the caduceus as the axis mundi, the spine's 33 vertebrae as the body's polar column, Baudrillard's simulacra and how the solar perspective instills external psychological dependency, the Norse inversion of sun and moon polarity, art as the path of individuation, and the Thoth Tarot Art card as destruction and transformation at the root of creative freedom.
