Safiq Al-Kahir « back

1Limbo »
The secret to oneiric illumination is patience. Limbo, while reviled by the Church for being neither Above nor Below, is a perpetual state of indecision . . .
2Thirteen »
To be afraid of the number thirteen is to be afraid of Heaven, to be afraid of what comes after we are whole and complete. It is not a plague fear or a fear of oppression . . .
3Mask »
After the body of the Seeker has been washed according to the astrological covenants and his body has been wrapped with the linen codex that has been inscribed with his desire . . .
4Mirage »
In this land—before my time and before my father's time—there was a queen who earned her place beside her king by enchanting him with mirages . . .
5Drift »
The dunes are like ocean waves, perfectly regular crests as far as my eye can see. The capricious djinn of the desert have left curls in some of the peaks, little twists of sand that will not last . . .
6Hollow »
In the desert, there is a spider that builds a tower. I have found one in the shadow of an old rock, a corner of some ancient temple that has been forgotten for a lifetime . . .
7Horizon »
The horizon is the edge of mystery. We do not know what lies beyond it, and it does not matter how high we reach into the sky, we cannot see beyond that rim . . .
8Trinity »
"The phases are the expression of reflections. It is not enough to understand how a mirror or a pool of water works. When the glass is still, a reflection manifests itself . . .
9Twelve »
The dreamer is a pilgrim, a mad fool who knows less and less the further he travels upon his path, and he must stop at each house and confront the mystery of the thresholds contained therein . . .
10The Thirteenth House »
"Why does the madman in the desert fail to mention the thirteenth house? Did he not know of the serpent, or did he obscure that final threshold for fear of his work being used for ill? . . .
11Threshold »
"As with all things, the path of the dreamer is composed of three parts: the triple layer of the phases, the doubled stages, and the pure planes of the thresholds . . .
