Eden's Annual Garden Party

Dear Readers and Creators, 

As we embark on our fourth print, Eden’s Annual Garden Party, we invoke one of the foundational teachings of the Kybalion: The Principle of Cause and Effect.

“Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law.”

This principle embodies the fact there is a cause for every effect and effect for every cause, that nothing merely happens, there is no such thing as chance. To rise above this, you become the causer rather than the one effected by your environment, heredity, suggestion, and will and desires of others. Rather than being a pawn in the game of life, a master will rise above and dominate their moods, characters, qualities, and powers as well as the environments that surround them. They become to movers; they help play the game of life instead of being played and moved by other factors. The masters use the principle instead of being its tools and rule their own plane.

In this print we honor one of humanity’s most famous myths: the creation of Man and Woman. We ask what if we told it in a more delicate light? What if we reimagined Eden not as a place of punishment but as a celebration of the feminine, of life, of curiosity, of creation?

Because let’s be real, this story was never fair to Eve. Or to women. Or to wombs. Or to humanity. Or to the being or beings that created us. The idea that woman was created as an afterthought, a sidekick from a rib, is more than outdated, it’s insulting to the very source of life. It is the highest insult to God.

Imagine if a man’s rib could birth a baby, stretch itself for nine months, and survive the burn and beauty of birth, while the mothers were hanging out in the waiting room handing out celebratory cigars and well-aged scotch. Then for 2+years the man feeds that newborn from his breast and is given all the instincts to keep the newborn alive sacrificing his sleep and his body all while morning his old self while he transitions into the most important role of his life.
But that’s not the story they gave us. They gave us a tale of blame, shame, jealousy, and exile.
And the setting? A paradise with a warning label! A vengeful God who punishes you for seeking knowledge and lets the woman take the fall. Why would the Creator give us a womb, and not make the womb the starting place of creation? Why is Eve not the heroine here? The sacrificial reason humans do not become extinct.

In our version, Eden is a gathering: an annual garden party for every species. All beings coexist, not in competition, but in celebration. Then a new kind of life is born. A child, who is also a species with dreams, curiosity, and the power to choose love without manipulation tactics, without the trap door.

We’ve endured our growing pains. We’ve wrestled with the same old sins: greed, pride, envy, lust, wrath, gluttony, sloth. But this time, we choose differently.
This is a call to awaken, not to resist the serpent, but to listen to the knowledge within.
Not to fear the apple, but to taste it with reverence. Not to exile the feminine, but to honor her as the origin.

Imagine a world not driven by hunger for power but by care for all beings. If politicians and ruling families cared about their communities, if we all believed we had enough resources there would be no need to go to war to take others.

Imagine a human story that looks to the animal kingdom and says: what can we learn, not what can we take? Chimpanzee fight but make up and do not hold grudges. Why does man? What can we learn from other species when we take away our superiority complex? And seriously, what kind of apples were they serving in Eden anyway?

Did the old tales of disobedience and divine separation leave you fearful of life, instead of in awe of it? Our Eden lives on not in exile, but in expansion. A paradise built by love, for love.
Seek knowledge. Seek truth. Follow your instincts, your heart, and the curious little genius within you. Don’t listen to us, listen to yourself. You are the gift we’ve been waiting for.


With gratitude and rebellion,

The OG Thèria Family


Eden's Annual Garden Party

The Principle of Cause and Effect

Once began a few powerful conclaves
Who took it upon themselves to teach us how to behave
what a feat that turned out to be
Or rather, a multi-generational murder mystery.
If only control weren't the mechanism they had chosen
and instead, a path of harmony was woven
Every cause has its effect.
This translates to each of our dialects
Every effect has its cause
And everything happens according to these laws.
Do you think your birth was merely a chance
A thread to the weave of happenstance?
Do you feel like a pawn on the chessboard of life?
Carried along by your environment, your moods, or your birth rite?
A master is not obedient to anyone but themself-
For they know they move their own pieces or set them on the shelf.
Kindness operates on all planes of existence
it's our physical realm that puts up so much resistance
for we are taught we lack all control
over our bodies, our minds, and our soul.
What if everything we were told was wrong
a bundle of made-up stories teaching us how to belong
When ironically all the power we need is within
if we master ourselves, knowledge is a blessing, not a sin
Our origins have been described in black and white
yet life cycles are not just day and night
but bursting full of everything in between
those moments just before dawn and in the evening.
Why would Eden be a place of shame or a blissful time
it could just be a drip resting deep in the
amygdala of the mind
To become the causer rather than the effect rule your own plane
In order to do this your powers, you must regain
Control over your moods, your thoughts, and your reactions
You begin to play the game of life instead of
sufferings it’s infractions.
these thoughts are merely tickle on your nose
to your identity, and narrative you hold dear, and your precious egos,
Just a light dusting, droplets, a mist
because we arm with the pen and not with the fist
the physical has got us this far
but evolution will teach us to cease the spar
Yes, this trend is our future as we continue to emerge from our caves
and each of our consciousness teaches us how to behave.

Eden's Annual Garden Party

Eden's Annual Garden Party is a sculptural reimagining of one of humanity's oldest stories. Inspired by the Hermetic Principle of Cause and Effect, the work explores the idea that nothing happens by chance; that every action, thought, and choice participates in the creation of our reality. Rather than portraying humanity as passive recipients of fate, the sculpture celebrates our capacity to become conscious creators, shaping the worlds we inhabit through intention, curiosity, and love.

In this vision, Eden is not a place of exile, temptation, or punishment. It is an annual gathering where all species coexist in harmony, celebrating the miracle of life and the interconnectedness of all beings. At the center of the composition, an offering is exchanged, symbolizing the moment when curiosity awakens consciousness and knowledge becomes a gift rather than a transgression. Flowing water cascades through the landscape, representing the continuous movement of wisdom, transformation, and creation.

The sculpture also reexamines the role of the feminine within the creation story. Rather than treating woman as secondary, Eden's Annual Garden Party honors the feminine as the source through which life enters the world. Here, creation is not born from hierarchy or domination but through nurturing, intuition, sacrifice, and renewal. The work invites viewers to reconsider inherited narratives and to imagine a story in which curiosity is celebrated, knowledge is sacred, and creation itself is an act of love.

Rich with symbolic detail, the sculpture rewards close observation from every angle. Ancient trees, flowing waterfalls, sacred offerings, and mythic beings converge in a landscape where nature serves not as a resource to be conquered, but as a teacher to be understood. Ultimately, Eden's Annual Garden Party is an invitation to step beyond fear and into wonder and most importantly to trust one's instincts, seek truth with reverence, and remember that paradise is not a lost destination, but a living possibility continually shaped by our choices.
