Occult Literature
The Knight and the Dragon of Putrefaction
An armoured knight drives a long weapon towards a coiled dragon beneath trees. A shield, winding tail and distant buildings organise the scene around their encounter. The source links the emblem from the Book of Lambspring with putrefaction and interprets the dragon’s defeat through spiritual alchemy.
