The Word Om
The Word Om is the first in my illuminated manuscript series. The content explores the ideas around the cosmic sound of creation, the Om, through worldwide myth, religion, and science. The Om symbol is gilded in gold leaf, and the quote being illuminated is from the Bible in the book of John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.”
