In case you’re not familiar with this era, here’s a bit from the web: Pop culture during the 1920s was characterized by the flapper, automobiles, nightclubs, movies, and jazz. Life moved fast as a new sense of prosperity and freedom emerged at the end of World War I.

The Light. When it appears in North it shines with the most golden crystallized frequency. For it to be seen, it has to come forth and penetrate as an equal counterpart for immense darkness that wraps up All in her womb. This short window of visible equilibrium is miraculous – summoning the seer into the space where the counterparts dissolve into One. What is left is the most authentic being where the seer and seen are one and the same.
