[edit] Art
The cover art shows a goddess rising above a river and the field of snakes. Another piece of art in the booklet shows these snakes emerging from a giant tentacle/Cornucopia. It also features many sigils.
The album's logo is Vesica piscis, or Venn diagram of two sets, presumably the real world and the hidden world.
