τίς δ᾽ εἶ; πόθεν εἶ (“Who are you? Where from?”)
The Ball is the call;
the Knucklebones establish a relationship with fate and the ancestors;
the Wheel begins the journey, and turns and turns;
the Top purges;
the Bull-Roarer tears open worlds;
the Puppet yields the ego;
the Rattle reintegrates through ecstatic movement;
the Wool gathers, and restores, and wipes off pollution;
the Apple renews life and generativity;
and the Mirror reveals the initiate’s true face.
Ἀστέριος ὄνομα. (“My name is Starry.”)
The Five Fundamental Questions from. “Babylon 5”
Who are you?
What do you want?
Why are you here?
Where are you going?
Do you have anything worth living for?
