Destination Knoxville

We had a lovely anniversary trip last week and while we were not able to tour the yak farm that I wanted to see we made the best of it and had a marvelous time without the yaks. We only spent one rainy night in Knoxville but it was a fun place to walk around and since our hotel was right next to the Sunsphere and the World’s Fair Park we got a few steps in while sightseeing in the heat. .

Knoxville, TN ✨️

I'm going to start doing solo mini adventures on weekends. I don't want to wait for someone else to be ready with me anymore.

"*ahem* Hello people of earth, I am Reimen Sunsphere, psychologist of the G3 cartel. You are now property of the G3, uhm- specifically by me because Dad asked me to." *she's obviously reading a note card from Garmantuous.*

To praise the sun is to praise your own eyes.” — Rumi

Eye of the Sun by Talon Abraxas

The Genii of the Sun Sphere Assuming that the magician has become master over the Venus sphere, that in spite of having got into contact with at least a few of its intelligences, he has not become a victim of their temptations and that he has a good control over the vibrations of this sphere and the preceding spheres, he can go a further step and learn to know and control the Sun sphere.

The vibration of the Sun sphere is different from that of the Venus sphere, and not every sphere magician is capable of staying long in this sphere, especially should he travel through it with his mental body on his mental wanderings. To give a detailed description of the vibrations of the Sun sphere would take much time. The magician will, however, become acquainted with its vibrations by numerous visits to that sphere: he will slowly learn to master it and be able to stay longer in it in order to get into contact with the genii there. Initiates regard the Sunsphere as the so-called Light Sphere. It is the sphere of our cosmos that is most difficult to control. When the magician has learned to know and to control it well the following spheres will represent no difficul-ty to him, and it will be easy for him to get them under his con-trol.

A short description of the genii of the Sun sphere is to give the magician further guiding lines for his practical work. The seals of these genii have to be drawn in a golden yellow colour at the time of their first evocation. The graduation that is given under each seal has the same meaning as the one of the Venus sphere. To be well informed about the influence that each genius has on the zone girdling the earth, and from there on to our planet, is, from the quabbalistic point of view, most important.

The Sun sphere influences all life in all the spheres and on all the planets. With regard to man, this influence becomes, as already mentioned in the description of the Mercury sphere and its cosmic orderliness, obvious in the degree of vitality by which the mental, astral and physical bodies are kept together.

The Sun sphere is ruled by a total of 45 genii. Their ruler, called "Master of the Sun Sphere" in the hermetic language, is named Metatron in quabbalah. In the original quabbalistic scriptures Metatron is called the mediator between God and man. --Practice Magical Evocation by Franz Bardon

It's so weird to remember that World's Fairs are technically still a thing. One happens every few years. They feel like such a relic of the first half of the 20th century that died with the Knoxville Sunsphere but they still happen.

It looks like they don't have the futurism anymore and are just about the country part and basically serve as branding exercises but they're still out there. You'd expect the Wikipedia page to say the last one was like, a poorly attended one in Belgium in 1993 and they quietly stopped, not that there's one in 2025
