Night
Like darkness, the night signifies the pre-cosmogenic, pre-natal darkness preceding rebirth or initiation and illumination, but it is also chaos; death; madness; disintegration; reversion to the foetal state of the world.
Night is also, according to Hesiod, the ‘Mother of the Gods’, the enveloping, maternal aspect of the feminine power, usually symbolized by a female figure with a star-spangled veil, holding a child, one black (death) and one white (sleep), on either arm; or by the crescent moon, or poppies, or the owl, or black wings.
As all-devouring time, day and night can be depicted as a white and a black rat.
Going by night symbolism esotericism.

Johannes Hohlenberg (May 21, 1881 - 1960) was a Danish painter, writer, anthroposophist and philosopher. He had studied with Zahrtmann and then ran his own academy in Paris from 1906 - 1911. After that he got more and more into esotericism, met Rudolf Steiner, traveled to Egypt and India - and wrote about all these things: Yoga, the secrets of the Cheops Pyramid, Nostradamus, etc.
In the 30s he went into political philosophy and proposed a minimal state with shared economy among people but total artistic and philosophical freedom. In the 40s he wrote two books about Søren Kierkegaard.

“You are like me; you are different from other people. You are Kamala and no one else, and within you there is stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself just as I can. Few people have that capacity and yet everyone could have it.”
— Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

Working on figuring out digital runework.
After several long years, I finally managed to put the entire video together, and at long last it’s published.
Enjoy, and feel closer to the Sul'voth runes as I take you on a small journey through the full pronunciation of my language.

Out of respect, I kindly ask that anyone possessing any older version of The Dirokvul remove and delete out of date versions.
Thank you, blessings upon you.
Final Dirokvul Update
Just in case anyone has missed it, my free book of Sul'voth Runes is currently unavailable while I work on adding a few final touches and updating the whole format.
Should be out again within a few days! I’d mainly just ask for folks to make sure they’ve removed and deleted any older versions of the book, considering they’re now out of date.
Thank you!~
