Duke Dantalion

Duke Dantalion possesses the ability to influence and change perceptions, reflecting the duality of the inner and outer self, much like the varying faces the moon shows to us.

With a multifaceted nature, they embody the adaptability and fluidity of Mercury combined with the depth and variability of the Moon.

Their multiplicity aligns with the transformative powers of Mercury and the reflective, ever-changing nature of the Moon, capturing a spirit who can traverse and influence the manifold layers of human consciousness.

The Garden of Forking Paths

“Basing his work on the strange legend that Ts'ui Pên had intended to construct an infinite labyrinth and on a cryptic letter from Ts'ui Pên himself stating, "I leave to several futures (not to all) my garden of forking paths," Doctor Albert realized that the "garden of forking paths" was the novel and that the forking takes place in time, rather than space.

In most fictions, a character chooses one alternative at each decision point and eliminates all of the others. In Ts'ui Pên's novel, however, all possible outcomes of an event occur simultaneously, all of which themselves lead to further proliferations of possibilities. Albert further explains that the constantly-diverging paths sometimes converge again but as the result of a different chain of causes.”

From “The Garden of Forking Paths” by J.L. Borges (1941).

The Book of Sand

Gematria, geometry, reverence for the book, the word, the letter.

Mercury is closest to the (Desert) Sun, has the fastest orbit. Fastest of the Gods, pure thought and language, the essence of communication itself.

Quicksilver, Lord of Liquid Language and the Stellar Current.

From “The Book of Sand Vol. VIII Number VIII” (924 CE).
