Details
A bag of runes
lies in the morning sun on the window ledge of the East wall.
A niche in the
wall above the tub holds a bronze, copper, silver and gold sculpture.
Mounted on a
marble base, the piece is based on a Leonardo DaVinci sketch.
In Black Light
the man changes into a woman.
In addition all
of the meridians and points for accupuncture glow blue.
In the center
between the windows is the Keystone
with a hieroglyphic
inscription, "May You Be Illumined."
A cloud-filled 'airplane sky'
and sculpted palmistry hand
are painted on the wall to
the right.
The sculpted hand is patterned
after a sketch in the book,
The Secret Teachings of All
Ages, by M. P. Hall.
Also painted on the window
ledge of this wall is a small book,
The Key of Heaven.
Beyond the window ledge of
this wall is the cloud filled sky.
Above, before and after photos
of the West wall.
The cord in the corner is
really there.
It activates the black lights
which are
hidden in the beams at the
top of the wall..
Golden Door with a stairway
to the light.
Here is the same wall as it
appears when lighted with black light.
A deck of tarot keys lies
on the ledge of the West window.
