Description: A collage animation containing much of the same imagery as no. 10 but synchronized to the music of Thelonious Monk's Mysterioso. In an hermetic manner, the film evokes analogies among Tarot cards, Cabalistic symbolism, Indian chiromancy and dancing, Buddhist mandalas and Renaissance alchemy. A central image is a priestess garbed in white who is created at the beginning of the film when lightning strikes a snowflake.
