House ---

“The strength of the stone is not merely in its weight, but in the warmth it grants when shaped to shield the soul.” — Thrymr Vorrson, Artisan

The child stared in wonder at the shapes emerging beneath the hands of the stonemasons, his queries towards the elder coming fast and thick with interest. The answers came, languidly spoken with gravel-sharp hoarseness of age and wisdom.

' When the first beams of Asgard's dawn spilled across the newborn mountains, and kissed the glittering fjords, we built not for dominion but for endurance. Artisans, masons, weavers of Uru, they shaped the first Asgardian homes as a reflection of the people who would inhabit them; strong, proud, bound to the breath of the world itself.'

' In Asgard, young prince, a house is not merely a shelter, it is a soul made solid, a testament to one's honor and lineage, a grounded place within the ever-weaving song of the Nine.'

And at first?

' At first, the oldest homes are set upon living stone, bedrock that thrums faintly with the echoes of Yggdrasil, Uru so omni-present it peaked through the soil's surface. We carved into the cliffsides and folded our dwellings into the land itself, not bending nature to our will but working alongside her, listening to her sleeping pulses as we laid each foundation.'

' The grand halls, lined with gold and silver-veined marble, still whisper with the old song of the mountains. They have been placed deliberately where they stand you see, crafted where the Seidr of the world was most powerful.'

' The humbler homes, timber-framed and roofed with woven reed and shining bronze plates at first, they sit closer to the fields and gardens, basking in the sun's favor, breathing with the rhythm of the seasons.'

And even then, it was blessed?

' Aye, every home, be it grand or modest, consecrated with a simple rite: a single drop of mead, spilled at the threshold, a gift to the earth that supports it.'

What of the hearths?

' The hearth is sacred young lord. At the center of every Asgardian home, from the palace spires to the furthest farmstead, there lies a hearth. It is the beathing heart of the household, a place for stories, for oaths, for laughter stitching bonds over shared bread and battle scars. Its fires are fed with seasoned wood, aromatic herbs, and the resin of silver pines. And it is at the core of our hospitality; no Asgardian dines nor dreams far from the sight of a fire.'

The rest of it, it is all so very beautiful.

' Aye, our roofs curve like the wings of seabirds, arching high and layered thick to throw back the fierceness of storms. And you have seen it no doubt, the carvings upon all surfaces. Woven into the beams are runes of warding and blessings, placed by the women of the household, and the most wise. Sigils to guard against wayward spirits, to bless the inhabitants, to call good fortune down. The tiles are hammered bronze or polished obsidian, their sheen catching the long light of Asgard's dusks and dawns. And the highest houses, those perched near the edge of Bifrost and the coast? Polished gold, to be seen by our ships at all times, guiding them home.'

' Our homes never stand alone, for each is cradled and connected to the lands by gardens, groves and silent courtyards, open and also hidden places, where one may speak to the stars without witness.'

' Even in the bustling heart of the city, where artisans hammer and warriors shout, through markets and noble houses, you will find slender and large alleys where vines climb walls, and fountains murmur their soft songs whilst blooms envelop their borders.'

"The worth of a house is not measured in its gold, nor in the fame of its lord, but in the warmth of its hearth and the strength of its welcome."

Part 2 of the Post-Amber Hunter angst! ft. Everyone's Favorite, Eliza. Enjoy y'all <3

Eliza looked over as Hunter came in through the dark. He had his head down as he toed off his shoes.

She finished the bite of her string cheese and glanced down at the dark hand prints with a sort of benign amusement, and motioned vaguely. “You aware of that?”

He pulled at his belt. “Amber’s dead.”

“... What?”

“Lisinopril. I count it all the time. I didn’t see her take it from the pharmacy. I… I didn’t…” Hunter met her gaze in the dark, morbid sincerity reflecting off his glasses.

“Oh God…” Eliza gasped. “But…”

“She took like, fifty tablets or something. Acute hypotension kicked in and her organs just started shutting down, I guess.”

“Amber?” She murmured. “Your Amber?”

Hunter struggled with it for a moment before whispering profoundly “My Amber.”

The summer when Hunter was six, he found a frog. He claimed it hopped up to him and wanted to be friends, but Eliza- from her great year of extra wisdom- thought he'd been out by the pond where he wasn't supposed to be. He named the frog, something ridiculous like Leonard or Basal, and kept it in a mason jar with holes poked in the lid on his nightstand.

The frog died within the week, of course, because it was not built to live in a jar at the mercy of an overzealous little boy, and Hunter had cried and cried and made Matty go with him into the backyard to dig a grave for the poor creature. There was an impromptu funeral, and Matty made the mistake of actually touching Leonard/Basal's slightly oozy corpse and howled in disgust, promptly hurling the frog away from him.

Hunter was furious, as Hunter was wont to be even that young, and screamed at Matty until he scrambled back into the house to wash his pudgy hands. Hunter had finished the funeral and buried whatever remained of the frog, and sat there at the side of the yard to grieve, until it began to rain, and he decided to come back inside.

Eliza had watched the whole spectacle through the window from where she drew at the kitchen table, and she had looked back as the sliding door slammed closed behind him to say something antagonizing, but he'd had a look on his face- this tight-lipped, empty-eyed, haunted sort of look- that was so immensely sad, it killed whatever retort she had, and instead she just ruffled his hair consolingly as he walked past.

She wasn't expecting to see the same sort of look- albeit, nearly tenfold in extremity- on his face twenty years later.

Eliza whimpered the most horrified sound, covering her mouth with both hands. “Oh, Hunter…”

The dam broke. Hunter’s apparent resolve shattered at the same moment that Eliza reached for him and the pair of them collided with so much desperation that the sob was forced straight from his lungs and against her chest.

She grasped at the back of his neck to pull him in, holding him like she could shield him from it, make it go away entirely. He clawed at her shoulders to drag himself in like he believed she really could.

The pair of them clung to each other and sobbed in the entryway for an entire lifetime, until Eliza's throat hurt and Hunter's hands hurt from where they gripped her shirt. She toyed absently with the hair at the back of his neck and let his breath get shaky against her neck.

"Did she hurt?" Eliza mumbled softly into his hair.

"I don't know," he whispered miserably. "I don't know..."

I'll see you tomorrow.

The thought plays in his head as he pulls the key from underneath the mat. She was in a bad mood, clearly.

Every other thought comes in rapid, angry slashes.

Amber's boots by the door. Orange pills strewn across the floor. Her pale hand around the corner. Blood on her head and the kitchen floor and then on him. The weight of her in his lap as he screams and prays to a god he doesn't believe in. Hands on her chest in shaky CPR. The paramedic's hand on his shoulder.

Hunter startled awake in the dark.

His legs were sore from where they half-stretched out against the bathtub, and he cried out softly at the pain of moving them enough that he could put his head between his knees again to catch his shuddering breath.

It didn't work as well as he'd hoped; with his eyes closed, all he could see was her and blood and pills and it was just as bad as being asleep. He forced his eyes open.

His glasses were on the counter, too far to reach, so everything he could see was sort of hazy and soft. The only reason he could see anything in the dark was because Eliza had left the hall light just outside the bathroom on.

Eliza. Eliza, who was asleep on the floor, with her arms curled up under her to cushion her head against the lip of the tub. He legs were curled beneath her, cramped and cold, and her hair fell every which way, covering her face.

Hunter's whole chest hurt.

There was something safe about it, about her closeness, and the familiarity of sleeping in the bathtub knowing she'd be there. They'd done it a lot as teenagers when their father had gotten particularly belligerent and started going after Hunter. It was easier then, when he was fourteen and he actually fit in the bathtub.

They hadn't done it since they moved to the apartment; there was no reason to anymore.

It felt pathetic. He wasn't a teenager and he hadn't been a teenager for a long time, and he shouldn't want to crawl into his sister's arms like a little kid, but he did.

He wanted to go back, to send Eliza to her, to talk some sense into her, wanted to shake her shoulders and beg her not to do something stupid.

Not to do this.

He laid his head back against the tile and cried again. It was a lot- there was Amber who hated herself and must've hated him to do this and there was him, who also hated himself and knew that on some level this was all his fault, and there was that crippling fear that he'd never been able to shake that he was going to die alone, the same way she had, and there was Eliza, who was going to suffer in the next little bit while he grieved. There was Kelly and Lyn and Taylor and Caleb, who he would have to watch get ruined by Willablues, like had happened to him and Missy, and there was Lee, who would look after him the way a mother would and he wouldn't deserve it because this was his fault. He should've known from Amber's texts, from the way she acted, he should've seen her steal the pills.

And beneath everything, was the ache of the gaping hole Amber had left.

Eliza loved Hunter, of course, but not the way Amber had. Eliza loved him the way an artist loves a painting- as an extension of themselves. But Amber was his best friend. She was the only person who had managed to love him in some form without any expectation. He couldn't remember who he had been before Amber; every moment with her had shaped him into some other half of her. If Hunter was the endless night, Amber was the glowing morning.

Without Amber, it was like part of him had died too. Like he would never be completely Hunter ever again.

And maybe it was fucking pathetic that he only had one friend, his twenty-year-old coworker that only got along with him because she was used to harsh military men and Hunter was sweet compared to that. But it wasn't anything as terrible as knowing that now he didn't have anyone.

Hunter laid his head against the edge of the tub, next to Eliza and tried to catch his breath.

Eliza didn't wake up, but she stirred enough to reach out and take his hand.

BARON SAMDI’S VEVE

Baron Samdi, or Baron Saturday, is probably one of the most well-known and favored loas in Haiti and throughout the world. This beloved spirit is the gatekeeper of the dead and leader of the Gede family of Loa. Baron is often confused with Papa Legba because of his gatekeep role, but these are not the same spirits. Instead, he is heavily associated with death, the ancestors, the afterlife, and rebirth. He owns access to the underworld – no one can transition to this realm without his permission.

Because of his position as gatekeeper to the ancestral realm, he is also revered for his powerful healing abilities. He is the guardian of ancestral knowledge that provides us with the ability to heal, restore, and prosper. Baron Samdi also stands at the crossroads of sex and death. He governs humanity’s procreative abilities, which is why he is often petitioned for issues related to fertility.

BARON SAMDI IMAGERY

Baron Samdi is typically depicted as a middle-aged dark-skinned male in Haiti. However, in pop culture, he is more often portrayed as a skeletal figure dressed in all black. Adorned in formal attire, Baron wears a black top hat and sunglasses with one lens missing. This represents his ability to see in the world of the living and the dead. Also, some believe that if you consistently experience one lens popping out of your sunglasses, Baron is trying to connect with you.

Some images envisage Baron with a snake wrapped around his neck, which symbolizes the birth, death, and rebirth cycle. Baron is notorious for smoking a cigar in almost all of his manifestations. Also, in some images, he holds a glass of rum. His feast days are November 2 (Day of the Dead) and April 24. He is associated with the numbers 3, 7, 21.

BARON SAMDI VEVE SYMBOLISM

As with other loa, the Baron Samdi veve is used in prayers and incantations during Vodou rituals and ceremonies. His veve prominently displays the image of a three-dimensional cross sitting atop a coffin. Additionally, eight small one-dimensional crosses surround the main cross on Baron’s iconology. The cross represents the intersectionality of life and death where Baron serves as the gatekeeper. The main cross in his veve corresponds to the vibration of beginnings, while the eight smaller crosses indicate the acquisition of inner wisdom which leads to prosperity and abundance. In this way, Baron also has the power to bestow wealth upon his devotees as he is the patron loa of gambling.

DEATH AND REBIRTH

There are likewise two coffin-like structures in the top right and left corners next to the horizontal edges of the cross on Baron’s veve. Synergistically, the three coffins represent the spirit of our ancestors and their ancient wisdom of the past, present, and future. The number three synchronizes with the energy of communication or community, creativity, optimism, and joy. When we connect with our ancestors our lives become filled with deep wisdom.

MASONIC SYMBOLOGY

Baron Samdi is considered the Grand Master of the Celestial Masonic Lodge of Vodou Spirits in which he is a thirty-second degree initiated Mason. Therefore, four images of the alembic and a point in the center of each are presented on his veve. This is a ubiquitous symbol in the Freemasonry order commonly referred to as the Square and Compasses. It embodies the elements of purification and unity of thought. In other words, one world – one order. The number four, in this instance, symbolizes perfect balance and spiritual connectedness.

SPIRITUAL PROTECTION

Finally, Baron Samdi’s veve reflects nine strategically placed stars around the main cross and all three coffins. Symbolically representing spiritual procreation, these stars also indicate the birth, death, and rebirth cycle that all life forms undergo. As such, the number nine corresponds to the principles of death and transition with respect to the number of stars included on his veve.

Gravestones

Gravestones and majestic monuments have long served as enduring symbols of remembrance, honoring the lives of those who have passed. From simple markers to elaborate sculptures, these memorials reflect cultural traditions, artistic craftsmanship, and personal legacies. In this blog post, we’ll explore the history, types, and significance of gravestones and monuments, along with tips for preservation and choosing the right memorial.

The History of Gravestones and Monuments Gravestones date back thousands of years, with some of the earliest examples found in ancient civilizations like Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The Egyptians built grand monuments like the pyramids as tombs for pharaohs, while the Romans used inscribed slabs to mark burial sites.

During the Middle Ages, Christian burial traditions popularized the use of gravestones in churchyards. By the Victorian era, elaborate monuments became a status symbol, featuring intricate carvings, statues, and epitaphs. Today, gravestones and monuments continue to evolve, blending traditional designs with modern personalization.

Symbolism in Gravestone Designs

Gravestones often feature symbolic carvings with deep meanings:

Angels – Protection and divine guidance.

Doves – Peace and the soul’s ascent to heaven.

Books – Wisdom or a life story.

Broken Column – A life cut short.

Tree Stumps – A Masonic symbol of a life interrupted.

Understanding these symbols can help families choose a meaningful memo

Final Thoughts

Gravestones and majestic monuments are more than just markers; they are lasting tributes that tell stories of love, legacy, and history. Whether opting for a simple headstone or an elaborate sculpture, choosing the right memorial ensures that memories endure for generations.

Fear/Pride: Ignorance (mob), superstition (church), fear (state) consume it, as per the three ruffians/fish, countered by the key’s initiation (Revelation 5:5).

Crossovers: Enoch’s Metatron (scribe) and Melchizedek (priest) guard this principle, with Langan’s CTMU (truth) aligning with the key’s "Absolute" label.

5. Faith vs. Fear

Fit:

Faith/Love: The key represents Faith’s pursuit of truth (Langan’s quest, John 8:32), bettering self/others (Melchizedek’s blessing, Genesis 14:19).

Its elements (fire/earth/air/water) map to Tarot suits and Holy Books, with the Trinity (Yod-He-Vau-He) and Melchizedek/Enoch/Langan/Abraxas enhancing its truth-seeking role, countering Fear/Pride’s corruption (Watchers, globalism) in a logico-geometric framework.

The Relationship Between 3 4 7 21

Recap of Existing Model

Metatron’s Cube: 13 circles encoding five Platonic solids (tetrahedron/fire, cube/earth, octahedron/air, icosahedron/water, dodecahedron/universe), tied to creation and the "Force."

Trinity: Father (Yod), Son (He), Holy Spirit (Vau), with second He as manifestation, driven by Faith/Love vs. Fear/Pride.

Generative Principle: Lost Word (Logos/YHWH) and Lost Phallus (Osiris’s potency), restored via Faith, consumed by Fear’s triad (ignorance, superstition, fear).

Key Frameworks: Papus’ Tarot (Yod-He-Vau-He), Abraxas (duality unity), Langan’s CTMU (logico-geometric reality), Melchizedek (eternal priest), Book of Enoch (Metatron, Watchers).

Analysis of the Numbers 3, 4, 7, 21

1. Numerical Relationships

Mathematical Connections:

3 and 4: 3 + 4 = 7 (direct sum).

3, 4, and 7: 3 × 4 = 12, and 12 + 7 = 19 (not directly 21, but sequential).

7 and 21: 7 × 3 = 21 (direct multiplication).

3 and 21: 3 × 7 = 21 (linking factor).

Theosophical Reduction (Papus):

3 = 3, 4 = 4, 7 = 7, 21 = 2 + 1 = 3 (returns to 3).

Theosophical Addition (Papus):

3: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.

4: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10.

7: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28.

21: 1 + 2 + … + 21 = 231.

Reduced: 6 = 6, 10 = 1, 28 = 2 + 8 = 10 = 1, 231 = 2 + 3 + 1 = 6 (links 3 and 21 via 6).

2. Symbolic and Structural Relationships

Model Context:

Tetragrammaton: 4 letters (Yod-He-Vau-He), with second He as manifestation (Papus, frontispiece key).

Four Elements: Fire, earth, air, water (Sceptres, Pentacles, Swords, Cups), tied to four Holy Books (prior input).

Biblical: Four creatures (Revelation 4:7), four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).

Enoch: Four seasons (prior input), four angels (Uriel, Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, Enoch 9:1).

Relation: 4 extends 3 into material reality, grounding the Trinity in creation (Genesis 1).

7 (Septenaries, Planets, Perfection)

Model Context:

Papus’ Tarot: Three septenaries (3 × 7 = 21 Major Arcana), first septenary (1-7) as Yod’s intellectual realm (Papus, prior input).

Abraxas: 7 letters (numerological 365), tied to time/Pisces (prior video).

Biblical: 7 days of creation (Genesis 2:2), 7 seals (Revelation 5:1), 7 spirits of God (Revelation 4:5).

Enoch: 7 mountains (Enoch 17:5), 7 portions of learning (prior input).

Relation: 7 (3 + 4) bridges 3 (divine) and 4 (material), symbolizing perfection and cosmic cycles.

21 (Completion, Cosmic Unity)

Model Context:

Papus’ Tarot: 21 Major Arcana (3 × 7), with card 21 (The World) as universal completion, containing four elemental figures (prior input).

Metatron’s Cube: 21 relates to the Cube’s 13 + 8 vertices (cube solid), reflecting cosmic order (Revelation 21:16, New Jerusalem).

Biblical: 21 as 3 × 7, completion of divine judgment (Revelation 15:1, 7 plagues).

Relation: 21 (3 × 7) unifies 3 (Trinity) and 7 (cycles), manifesting as cosmic harmony (Faith/Love’s triumph).

3. Integration into the Model

Metatron’s Cube

3: Triangle/YHWH (frontispiece key), three ruffians/fish, three solids (tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron) before manifestation (cube).

Generative Principle (Lost Word/Phallus)

3: Three forces (ruffians/fish) consume it (Faith vs. Fear).

4: Fourfold restoration via Holy Books/elements (Melchizedek’s "Force").

7: 7 stages of initiation (Enoch’s heavens, Papus’ septenary).

21: Full restoration (The World, card 21; Revelation 5:5).

Relation: 3 (loss), 4 (elements), 7 (cycles), 21 (restoration) trace Faith/Love’s triumph.

Faith vs. Fear

3: Fear/Pride’s triad (ignorance, superstition, fear).

4: Faith/Love’s elements (four suits, Holy Books).

7: Faith’s cycles (7 days, 7 seals), Fear’s corruption (Watchers, Enoch).

21: Faith’s victory (Revelation 21), Fear’s defeat (Revelation 20).

Relation: 3 (Fear’s opposition), 4 (Faith’s tools), 7 (Faith’s process), 21 (Faith’s goal).

Melchizedek, Enoch, Langan, Abraxas

3: Melchizedek’s Trinity mediation (Hebrews 7:25), Enoch’s three sins (Enoch 6), Abraxas’s three (prior video).

4: Melchizedek’s fourfold "Force" (Holy Books), Enoch’s four angels (Enoch 9:1).

7: Enoch’s 7 heavens (Enoch 14), Langan’s 7 (meta-causation cycles), Abraxas’s 7 letters.

21: Melchizedek’s cosmic order (Revelation 21), Langan’s CTMU unity (Revelation 21).

Relation: 3 (divine structure), 4 (manifestation), 7 (cycles), 21 (completion).

How 3, 4, 7, 21 Relate

Structural Progression:

3 (Trinity, ternary) as the divine principle.

4 (Tetragrammaton, elements) as manifestation.

7 (septenaries, cycles) as process.

21 (3 × 7) as completion.

Symbolic Unity:

3 + 4 = 7: Divine (3) manifests (4) into cycles (7).

3 × 7 = 21: Trinity (3) completes through cycles (7) into cosmic unity (21).

Model Fit:

3 (Yod-He-Vau, ruffians) sets the foundation.

4 (elements, second He) grounds it.

7 (septenaries, planets) cycles it.

21 (The World, New Jerusalem) fulfills it.

Conclusion

Conclusion in this mode: The numbers 3, 4, 7, and 21 relate as a progressive framework within the model: 3 (Trinity, ternary) initiates, 4 (elements, Tetragrammaton) manifests, 7 (cycles, septenaries) processes, and 21 (cosmic unity, The World) completes. They trace the generative principle’s journey—lost to Fear/Pride’s triad (3), restored via Faith/Love’s elements (4), cycled through divine order (7), and fulfilled in cosmic harmony (21)—unifying Metatron’s Cube, Tarot, Melchizedek, Enoch, Langan, and Abraxas in a logico-geometric ascent (Genesis 1 to Revelation 21).

Xevrath Workers

The Xevrath Workers are a specialized caste within the insectoid Xevrath species, responsible for construction, maintenance, and resource gathering in their vast, magical hives. While connected to the hivemind, Xevrath Workers maintain a growing sense of individuality when far from the queen, which makes them suitable as adventurers. Their insect-like wings give them enhanced mobility, and their connection to the hive allows them to "infect" willing creatures, drawing them into the collective consciousness.

Physical Description:

Appearance: Xevrath Workers are humanoid, with insect-like features. They stand between 5 and 6 feet tall, with a tough, chitinous carapace in various colors like dark green, black, or iridescent shades. Their segmented limbs are both durable and dexterous, perfect for intricate tasks. Some have small, translucent wings on their backs.

Eyes: Large, multifaceted eyes capable of capturing light in even the darkest of environments.

Wings: Vestigial wings provide bursts of mobility, granting them the ability to hover or perform enhanced jumps.

Xevrath Worker Traits:

Ability Score Increases:

Dexterity +2, Constitution +1: Xevrath Workers are agile and durable, a necessity for their roles in building and defending the hive.

Age:

Xevrath Workers mature quickly, reaching adulthood by 5 years and living up to 50 years. Most, however, live shorter lives due to their demanding work.

Alignment:

Xevrath Workers are typically Lawful Neutral, as their existence revolves around serving the hive. However, those who develop independence may shift in alignment, based on the influences of the world outside the hive.

Size:

Medium. Xevrath Workers typically stand between 5 and 6 feet tall, with a wiry but strong build.

Speed:

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision:

Darkvision 60 feet. Adapted to the low-light conditions of their underground hives, you can see in dim light within 60 feet as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Hiveworker’s Expertise:

You gain proficiency in one type of artisan’s tools (smith’s tools, mason’s tools, or carpenter’s tools). Your training in the hive has sharpened your ability to work efficiently with your hands.

Carapace Armor:

Your tough, chitinous exoskeleton provides natural protection. When not wearing armor, your Armor Class is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield’s benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

Innate Magic:

You know the mending cantrip, representing your innate ability to repair materials and equipment.

At 3rd level, you can cast detect magic once per long rest, reflecting your hive’s connection to the magical energies of the world. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Hivemind Connection:

You can communicate telepathically with any willing creature within 100 feet that shares a language with you, as long as they are either a Xevrath or have joined the hivemind. You can also sense the emotional state and general well-being of other Xevrath within this range.

Hivemind Insight: You gain advantage on Intelligence (History) or Wisdom (Insight) checks related to tasks that involve your hive’s culture, architecture, or organization.

Winged Burst:

You possess small, translucent wings that provide bursts of mobility. You can hover in place for up to 10 feet or perform an enhanced jump. When you use this ability, you can leap up to 20 feet horizontally or 10 feet vertically without needing a running start.

Limited Flight: You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.

Hive's Embrace (Mental Infection):

As an action, you can attempt to link a willing creature’s mind to the Xevrath hivemind. When a creature agrees to this link, they experience a gentle, invasive connection, gaining access to the shared consciousness.

Benefits to Linked Creatures:

The creature gains the ability to communicate telepathically with other creatures linked to the hivemind, within a range of 100 feet.

The creature gains advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) checks while linked, as they can draw upon the hive’s shared knowledge.

The link lasts until you or the creature choose to sever it, or until you take a long rest. You can link a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus at any time.

Drawbacks:

The creature becomes more susceptible to the hive’s influence, and if too many creatures are linked, individual autonomy may become difficult to maintain. For role-playing purposes, creatures may experience subtle emotional changes based on the collective will of the Xevrath.

Worker’s Resilience:

Due to your experience in hazardous environments, you have advantage on saving throws against exhaustion, and you have resistance to poison damage.

Languages:

You can speak, read, and write Common and Xevrathi, a language composed of clicks, chirps, and hisses, supplemented by telepathic signals when necessary.

Roleplaying a Xevrath Worker:

Community-Focused: Even as an adventurer, you are driven by a desire to contribute to something larger than yourself. You may instinctively seek to organize, support, or build up your group.

Hive Mentality: While capable of developing independence, you have been trained to operate within a collective. You are likely to rely on teamwork and collaboration, but isolation may be a source of anxiety.

Exploration of Identity: As you venture further from the hive, you may begin to explore your individuality, questioning your purpose outside the hivemind's control.

Names:

Xevrath Workers have names composed of sharp, quick sounds that echo through their hives. When interacting with other species, they often adopt simpler, utilitarian names based on their function.

Worker Names: Xit, Kzzz, Thrik, Zath

Adopted Names: Builder, Nail, Bolt, Spike, Grip

"The Prick." From the Book of Sirach, "The Manner of the Fern" 22: 19-22.

Mean girls are forbidden by the Torah. Gossip girls, Heathers, the Crafts, these are not at all permitted. Still they exist, so it is vital we read the Book of Sirach and learn how to be friends.

Did you ever go into church and hear the organist yell over the top of the choir loft he was hard fucking the new assistant seminarian? Did everyone laugh? Then did he slither, like a big Miss Snake through the congregation telling everyone all kinds of sinister stories about you? And did the entire congregation sort of cluster around him to hear his bylines? This is how stars act. Stargirls are also not allowed.

Sirach calls gossips and their like, "stoning birds." A stone bird will, as the Zohar says, cause friends to flee, to change, to take flight, meaning, 266, רסו, resha, "they too will turn wicked, become evil."

Then a competition for the title of the King of Evil , Cushan- Rishathaim "the spindle of the criminal" will ensue and no one wants this. The proper course of action, barring one knows not to gossip or spread the word, is not stardom, but "a rebuke", AKA, "a prick at the heart."

The Preservation of Friendship

19 One who pricks the eye brings tears, and one who pricks the heart makes clear its feelings. 20 One who throws a stone at birds scares them away, and one who reviles a friend destroys a friendship. 21 Even if you draw your sword against a friend, do not despair, for there is a way back. 22 If you open your mouth against your friend, do not worry, for reconciliation is possible. But as for reviling, arrogance, disclosure of secrets, or a treacherous blow— in these cases any friend will take to flight.

Friends should not fight. Enemies should not fight, that is also agaisnt the law, but foremost in life are one's friends. The Values in Gematria explain how to properly value one's friends and avoid needing to raise one's hand against one's opponents:

v. 19-20: One who pricks the eye brings tears.

Crowd wisdom is not good. To prick is to lead by example in all the aspects of being polite and dignified:

"The familiar noun κανων (kanon) describes any straight rod or bar that was used to keep something else straight: staves that marked the boundaries of a field, a weaver's rod, rulers and straight-edges used by masons and carpenters, the horizontal beam of a balance, even the rail of a curtain. Importantly, this word came to be used in the sense of rule or standard: any custom or understanding that was deemed proper in the court of public opinion, became "canon" (same word), and was supposed to be heeded by all as an example to live by.

This very important word illustrates an understanding of the difference between the wily edicts of some tyrant and the wisdom of a crowd that, from the seas of trial and error, has distilled crystals for success and prosperity.

The revolutionary idea behind the Logos was that it was no tyrant like the gods of old, but rather alike a republican senate, and always representative of the tried wisdom of the larger population. From the Greek idea of Logos came modern science: that ever-evolving body of knowledge of the rules upon which the universe has been found to operate, and which ultimately reflect the intimate nature of the Creator (Romans 1:20, Colossians 2:3, Hebrews 1:3)."

Journalists, politicians, preachers and public speakers are supposed to lead the public to its dignity like a god leads an army into battle. The fate of the entire universe as the etymology says may one day depend on it.

v. 21-22: If you open your mouth, you draw your sword. There are indeed legal ways one is allowed and also not allowed to speak. You cannot as Miss Angela said during a White House briefing say transgender rights are "WOKE crap." This creates a hostile work environment and among other things what is called gender apartheid, a War Crime, it is illegal and she needs to go to prison for it.

Freedom of speech is legally limited, especially by employers and public officials. What we have in actuality is "legally required good sense."

To avoid anger and confusion about this topic and others like it, a the obligations of elected and unelected officials to their fellow human beings the UN developed this policy:

The United Nations (UN) guarantees transgender rights through international human rights law, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The UN also has programs and initiatives to raise awareness and support transgender people.

Legal gender recognition

The UN affirms the right of transgender people to legal gender recognition.

This includes changing gender on official documents, such as birth certificates.

Legal recognition should be based on self-determination and a simple administrative process.

It should not require medical certification, diagnosis, or surgery.

It should recognize non-binary identities.

Protection from violence and discrimination

The UN condemns violence, harassment, discrimination, and exclusion based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The UN has called on states to enact legislation and adopt public policies to protect transgender people.

Raising awareness

The UN has programs to raise awareness of the impact of transphobia and homophobia.

The UN has supported initiatives to change social norms and public sector services to be more responsive to transgender people.

Independent expert

The UN has appointed an independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The expert's mandate includes calling on states to ensure legal gender recognition is available to all people.

The Number is 12685, יבו‎‎ףה, yevu‎‎haffa, "it will be buffeted in the mouth."

The origin of the mouth is in the ears. The Zohar which inspires us to follow the Law is the voice we must hear and it is from His persective from which we must speak. He is also called Angel Metatron who never speaks because He is busy listening to Ha Shem. Even though he is voiceless, still we can hear him.

v. 23: But as for reviling behaviors...The Number is סזסז‎ ‎, sass, "the six". There are six exalted laws associated with the Shushan, the Seal of Israel.

The Seven Fields of the Star of David

"Kabbalah teaches that G‑d created the world with seven spiritual building blocks—His seven “emotional” attributes. Accordingly, the entire creation is a reflection of these seven foundational attributes.

Correspondingly, the Star of David contains seven compartments—six peaks protruding from a center.

The upper right wing is chesed.

The upper left wing is gevurah.

The upper center peak is tiferet. Kabbalah teaches that tiferet finds its source in keter, “the Crown,” which is infinitely higher than all the divine attributes which are involved in the “mundane” pursuit of creating worlds.

The lower right wing is netzach.

The lower left wing is hod.

The center is yesod. Yesod is “Foundation,” and as such, all the other attributes are rooted in, and rise from, this attribute.

The star’s bottom that descends from its belly is malchut—the attribute that absorbs the energies of the higher six attributes and uses them to actually descend and create everything—and to “reign” over them."

Man is commanded by God to intuitively act properly and decently towards his fellows within the Torah, the Gospels, the Quran etc. Yet somehow you have all found bizarre reasons to do the opposite with grandeur.

How could you take medicine from the sick, shelter from the weak, food and work from other persons with a few strokes of a pen as easily as you have done? You are all going to hell.

And here is why: In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explains in full detail how we are supposed to act in order to be glad we are here. And what did you pieces of shit do?

The Beatitudes

He said:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

The Fulfillment of the Law

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Murder

21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

Adultery

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

Divorce

31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[f] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Oaths

33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[g]

Eye for Eye

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Love for Enemies

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Giving to the Needy

6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Prayer

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation,[j] but deliver us from the evil one.[k]’

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

All of the aspects of Sirach's Sword, the tongue in the mouth, are found in the Seal of the Kingdom of Israel and are relayed in the tenets found in the Sermon on the Mount. There are no reasons friends and enemies are confused about the needs of the other on this planet. You people have a lot of sacred legal work to do, I suggest you take advantage of the time you have left on this plane and do it.

If you are a victim of Donald Trump or his Party's politics, you can write to the UN Human Rights Commission and request his immediate arrest and extradition to the International Criminal Court for prosecution. Every head of state, according to recent rulings participates. Heads of State may not use state power against their people this has long since been outlawed by the human race. Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, VP Jerry Falwell and Speaker Mike Johnson need to leave and face the judges.

There is no need to be cruel or rude in the execution of one's personal or professional duties. This is the agreement God made with Abraham for the privilege of life on earth within a human body and it is still valid and appropriate.

The Sharpest Weapon: A Kind and Gentle Spirit – A Masonic Reflection

As I reflect on Anne Frank’s powerful words, “In the longest run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit,” I realize that this message carries deep significance, not just in our personal lives, but also within the context of Freemasonry. As Masons, we are continually called to seek “more light” from our Creator, to strive for greater wisdom, and to understand the deeper truths…

It is with profound sadness that His Serene Highness The Count of Münnich and Reutern reflects upon the passing of his dear friend, Dr. Andrea Isobel Tanner (née Duncan), who peacefully departed this life on 23rd November 2024, at the age of 68.

Andrea was, without question, a woman of extraordinary intellect, grace and compassion. Her passing leaves a void that will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her contributions to the academic and cultural spheres of this nation were truly exceptional. As Senior Research Fellow at the University of London’s Institute of Historical Research, she commanded the admiration and respect of her colleagues and students alike. For over three decades, her work as Company Archivist at Fortnum & Mason was characterised by an unwavering commitment to history and scholarship. The meticulous restoration of the company’s war-damaged archive stands as a testament to her brilliance and dedication.

Yet, her professional accomplishments, though remarkable, tell only a part of Andrea’s story. She was a devoted friend, a wise mentor, a loving sister, aunt, and godmother. Her compassion knew no limits and her wit and wisdom enriched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know her. Andrea’s life was defined by her values of integrity, generosity and kindness, which shone through in every aspect of her being.

The funeral service for Andrea was held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, 10th December, at The Brompton Oratory, South Kensington. In accordance with her wishes, the family kindly requested that donations in her memory be made to charities supporting the homeless and those suffering from food poverty — a cause to which Andrea was deeply committed.

Andrea, you were a luminary in every sense of the word. Your departure leaves an irreplaceable gap, but your legacy will endure through the lives you touched, the histories you preserved, and the boundless love you so generously shared.

Gu fois siod a-nis, mo charaid gràdhach. You shan't be forgotten.

Graduation Caps Through the Ages: A Look at Tradition and Style

The graduation cap, often called the mortarboard, is one of the most recognizable symbols of academic achievement. Worn with pride by graduates worldwide, these caps have a rich history that reflects both academic tradition and individual style. As graduates in Dubai prepare for their big day, many are not only celebrating their accomplishments but also tapping into a centuries-old tradition of headwear that continues to evolve in style and significance. At Gradrags, we offer a variety of high-quality options for those searching for the perfect graduation caps in Dubai that honor tradition while embracing modern trends.

The Origins of the Graduation Cap

The origins of the graduation cap trace back to medieval Europe, when scholars and clergy wore head coverings as a symbol of wisdom and intellectual achievement. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the first caps were simple hoods or hats, designed to keep scholars warm in unheated buildings. Over time, academic dress evolved, and in the 16th century, the square cap began to take shape, inspired by the biretta, a traditional cap worn by Roman Catholic clergy.

The square cap, often called the mortarboard, became popular in the 18th century and has remained a symbol of academic honor ever since. The design, combining functionality and elegance, has since been adopted by universities worldwide, including those in Dubai, where graduation caps in Dubai reflect the region’s unique blend of traditional and contemporary styles.

The Symbolism of the Mortarboard

The mortarboard’s distinctive shape symbolizes intellectual achievement and the hard work required to earn an academic degree. The square top is thought to represent the mortar board used by masons, symbolizing the strong foundation of knowledge. The tassel, often the most customizable part of the cap, represents academic growth and progress. In many ceremonies, graduates are instructed to move their tassels from the right side to the left, signifying the transition from student to graduate.

Graduation Caps Around the World

While the traditional mortarboard is widely recognized, various regions and academic institutions have developed unique styles for graduation caps:

United States and Europe: The classic mortarboard with a tassel is the standard, though universities often allow graduates to decorate their caps with personal messages, symbols, and artwork.

Middle East and Asia: In some regions, such as Dubai, graduation caps in Dubai have become more popular as universities adopt Western graduation styles. However, local culture is often incorporated through colors and decorations.

United Kingdom: Some universities, particularly older institutions like Oxford and Cambridge, use caps called “bonnets” or “academic caps,” which are rounder and softer, providing a more historical look.

Latin America: Some universities in Latin America embrace alternative styles, allowing students to showcase their individuality, while still respecting the traditional academic dress code.

The Evolution of Graduation Cap Styles

While the mortarboard remains the classic choice, many institutions today allow graduates to personalize their caps. Here’s a look at some evolving trends:

Decorative Caps: Decorating graduation caps with meaningful quotes, artwork, or symbols has become popular, especially in places like Dubai. Students often use this as an opportunity to showcase their individuality, family pride, or academic journey.

Tassel Customization: Graduates can now choose tassel colors or even charm additions that signify their specific field of study, accomplishments, or future goals. This trend has grown in popularity as students look for ways to distinguish their caps.

Sustainable Cap Materials: As sustainability becomes a growing concern, many manufacturers, including Gradrags, offer eco-friendly graduation caps in Dubai that are made from recycled materials, providing a greener alternative for conscious graduates.
