BONUS: Omer 2021/5781 Animations

Rainbow Cubed

Happy Rosh Chodesh: the crescent new moon and the first day of the Hebrew month of Tammuz. The new moon means I’m working on a piece to share for next week’s first quarter moon, and I found the animations below sitting in my “DRAFTS” outbox. They were ultimately too large to share in my last post, but too painstakingly formatted not to share at all!

So behold: the animations I made for each week of Counting the Omer in Spring 2021/5781, Year 5 of Rainbow Squared. An ancient 49-day practice nested inside my own 49-week practice. I think of this mini-series as Rainbow Cubed.

If you find yourself drawn to one image or color in particular, follow the essay linked below it and see what resonates for you today. Kind of like a one-card pull from the Rainbow Cubed digital divination deck.

Chesed, Purple. Piece Nine, 25. Green Green.

Gevurah, Blue. Piece Ten, 36. Purple Red.

Tiferet, Green. Piece Eleven, 1. Red Red.

Netzach, Yellow. Piece Twelve, 48. Black White Purple.

Hod, Orange. Piece Thirteen, 18. Yellow Green.

Yesod, Red. Piece Fifteen, 41. Purple Purple. (Piece Fourteen was by a guest artist, so the final two Omer Animations went along with Piece Fifteen.)

Malchut, Brown. Piece Fifteen, 41. Purple Purple.

As always, you can let me know what comes up for you. And for a crash course on the Counting the Omer, check out Part One and Part Two.

Until next week 🌓
