The Moth
The Image Itself
• The moth is situated above the logo and to the left of the snake.
• The moth is a black and white species and rests with its wings open.
• The shadows beneath the moth suggests that it is in front of the rest of the image, as if it were resting on a window or the glass of a monitor screen.
Interpretations in terms of “Wishfire” and the “Angel Cycle”
• The moth itself has never actually been mentioned in Cruxshadows lyrics, although butterflies and insects have appeared in the lyrics at various points.
• Moths generally represent destruction, decay and “a downward spiral”, they also have a tendency to head towards lights, which confuse them and often injury them. This relates to the idea of destructive temptation discussed in the nebula section.
• The fact that the moth seems to be resting above the rest of the image adds to the idea of the televison monitor discussed in the the observer section.
