The rejuvenation chart of the Skeksis. The inscription in the upper-right hand
quadrant reads: "Now is the power of the Crystal seen. New life will flow from darkened light, not darkest stone.
The Black Stone will no more deceive our hopes, no more receive our worship."

The Skeksis Geometry
The bodies of the Skeksis are founded on deeply disordered principles. Only
in their heads does an intelligible pattern remain. This view, from above,
of the head of skekAyuk the Gourmand shows a superimposed geometry of
arcs and triangles.

The Skeksis Aggression Symbol
The Skeksis aggression symbol, the essence of the Garthim, appears time and
again in their regalia. The symbol represents an outwardly spiraling version of the
abiranariba serpent, with an enormously enlarged mouth, seeking to swallow not
its own tail but the entire world.

The Skeksis World View
Examples of the pure Skeksis style are fairly uncommon; this specimen, bearing
the signature of skekEkt the Ornamentalist, demonstrates the fundamental imbalance
of their world view, as evidenced by the incomplete outer circle.
