Riches beyond measure. Part rupestrine utterance, part hieroglyph slithering to life. I can read it cinematically like a non-linear cursive script. I can drink it like wickedness in a single draught.

frustrating to have to freezeframe one thought like that long enough to develop it, what?

Yeah, somehow it's really frustrating... I should make films instead, so there would be even more space

Some elements, in the back of your drawing, reminiscent of paintings by Miro
Rather connoted, no ?

It's hard to see the relatedness to Miro, but I see lots of symbols in his paintings.
Thanks for showing, I never heared about him.

What an intriguing work, I wonder what it means... The snake and the symbol with the eye make me think of something either masonic or sumerian. And the constellation in the middle is very interesting - I didn't notice it at first, but after I noticed it I couldn't take my eyes off it. What does it represent?
Nice seeing more drawings from you!

Thank you kindly! I like your interpretation, guess you're nearly right. (:
Indeed, it's the "Eye of Providence" but turned around. I'm not sure if this symbol really exist like it's shown here.
I thought it's nice to declare the exact opposite of it's orginial meaning (e.g. the opposite of trinity, love, harmony, fire)
Beside this the turned triangle stands for water and woman (venus); it also symbolize the white mid in the triforce symbol (no Zelda fan):
cognition, self-confidence, infinity
The nazis also used this symbol (black triangle) to mark "antisocial" people
I don't really remember the exact meaning of the constellation...cause I was busy with so many symbols and constellations, mythology-stuff... unfortunately there are no hints on the backside (I often write stuff I'm thinking behind my drawings)
but I think it must be (a part) of the Ursa Major (A story about Callisto but there exist different storys) you can read about it if you're interested here: Wiki
The snake symbolize (at least for me) Jörmungandr, I think you know about it. 
I've also some other thoughts like it's something energetic/ "anti-cosmos"- creature swirling through the cosmos. Something like a invisible seeker and assistant from black holes; sounds crazy, huh?
The Black Point stands for manifestation [...] building a (magic) circle (protecting, perfection).
The three-fourth cirlce [imperfection] (oh well, I wanted to draw a nine... consummation/ goddess/ hermit (tarot))
The other stuff is just psyche, brain, connection...

Hope I didn't bore you with that stuff! I thought other people might have the same questions/ thoughts.
Thank you again.

Ohh, it wasn't boring at all, it's actually fascinating! You put SO much thought into this!
When I asked you about the symbolism behind this I figured that everything has a meaning, but I didn't know that it would be so detailed and consciously planned. So many different elements in a drawing may suggest apparent chaos, but the link between them is very interesting. A compelling combination of cosmic, mysticism and psychoanalysis, feels like Renaissance-occult-philosophy. I learned a lot from what you said. And I just love the idea of the Jörmungandr that, instead of encircling the earth, it swirls through cosmos!
I hope to see more like this from you - and to see your interpretations. ^^ Thank you for sharing

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm happy about your words.
I still like symbolism, so it's possible that I give it another try somewhen.
