Cheers for the mail. Very cool to hear your words, and that you appreciate our music and art so much. It means alot to hear. And of course it's really special for us that we will be playing in Russia soon!!! I can't believe it really.
As for the symbology on "The Dawning" CD, the front cover you may or may not know is a variant on the 'ouroboros', usually a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, which symbolizes the cycle of time as well as the all-encompassing universe. The inside symbols are all taken from some books published by The Theosophical Society, created by the Russian-born Madame H.P. Blavatsky. Honestly I do not know all their exact representations, but they can be related to other more well known symbols. There is the lotus leaf, of which the lotus flower is a major symbol in Eastern philosophy, there is the four pointed endless knot, similair to the Buddhist endless knot. And there is a couple more Western 'masonic' type symbols. Overall they represent the secrets of nature - man and universe. Sorry I can't give you more details, but they all can generally be researched on the internet.
Thanks again Brother, and we'll see you in Moscow!!!
