Universe, Adorned: Ornament in Culture, Cosmos, and Consciousness

The Emerald

CHAPTER

Adorn to the Consciousness

The goddess is draped in bright ornamented sound, and the practitioner adorns their own body in rosaries of uttered sound. Mantras repeated adorn, a rosary is what a string of beads, and something you say aloud. The conch with its spiraling vibrational resonance becomes armor for the ears. A necklace to protect your speech, a jewel at the ground to keep your thoughts focused and clear. Adorn to the consciousness brightens into a network, a lattice work garment, a mantle of bright points.
