DCChapter 4: I took the cup in my two hands and took a long drink. The liquid warm and thick flowed down my throat. As I stood there the wanderer left me,, then the air grew cold and damp; I reached out - he turned his back and what about life after he had told me, I clung to. Hoping I could hold on and be true. Looking out into the woods I saw a hive of bees, and tending to them a funny little man dressed in red, a pair of horns atop his head. He looked at me and I began to turn away, but I was strangely drawn to him and I began to walk. He kept watching me, as I walked, as he took out a pair of pipes and began to play. Twice as red as the wanderer's cloak was the skin of the red man before me / his skin a brilliant red that cast his surroundings in a blood-copper. With his pipes he played a haunting melody / And a strange dance // his hooves striking the earth a strong heartbeat Listen to my heart beat .. Where his right hoof struck - a small sprout of greengold or a small blossoming violet-red. Where his left hoof struck - a withering , a dying. brittle and brown turned the plants. I stood and watched for some amount of time - I broke my silence and asked the man what he called himself: he stopped, and turning to me his brilliance grew until I had no choice but to avert my eyes. Then thus he spoke the four-fold name the unutterable name I could listen no more. The cup fell to the ground and the earth drank the remaining milk. Trees shook as he spoke the name ; the sky grew black as he spoke the name. TETRAGRAMMATON The only light was the blinding burning light from the thunder-being before me; I could not see. The sky boiled and honey dripped from the red lips and he spoke not with his own voice, but the voice of lightning striking nearby; this was his voice. :"I am all directions in time. I create, and I destroy." I am all the seas; the froth of the mighty waves is my hair and beard. My hooves are those of the war-horse; I am flesh." "Fear me. I will give you strength. Hold no other gods before me And my kingdom will be yours." Thus is chokma > chesed. Thus is the Word. Thus is the Law.
