The Cave is one of my favorite places in the Oasis.

There is a path to the left before the river. It is wildly overgrown, and blocked in places by fallen palms. Clamor over them to find yourself suddenly upon a small canvas tent. Nothing here is cleared, and the tent is nestled under a tree. Lift the flap and enter the portal…

…to find yourself on a set of stone steps, leading down to flickering torch light below. The Cave is made of stone, and the steps go down to a wide stone path set between pools of inky-black water. More torches line the way, and a draft slithers down the stairs to make the flames flicker.

Walk on the earth by the water, led by fire and followed by air. At the end of the stone path is a wide, high stone wall broken only by an archway barely the height of a woman.

On the other side of the arch is a perfectly round chamber, blazing bright with torchlight. In the center of the chamber is a dark pool, and surrounding it are two tiers of wide stone steps. The steps are seating, and rich silk-covered pillows line their surfaces. The front of the steps are inlaid with shimmery mosaics.

This is the home of Oracle, and from here this knowing part of me gives me sage, if often sarcastic, advice.

The ceiling of the chamber of the Cave is stunning. When Oracle dims the torches, the ceiling is fraught with lines of bright light, of energy. The lines look like rivulets of water, splitting again and again, sometimes meeting around a node to together shine as bright as a star. Single lines meet others and part and meet again. Some end in a lonely patch of dark ceiling. At my behest, Oracle has been known to shift some of those lines.

There is one last curiosity in the chamber of the Cave. Tucked in a corner, behind the stone seating (slightly defying the physics of the room) is a hole in the floor. The hole is large enough to crawl through, and there is a ladder hanging down from it, inviting exploration. The ladder leads to an ocean. This ocean made up of tiny golden lights, and the waves are gentle swells. It hangs in the blackness of space, but it is surrounded by vast starfields. Both are endless, and there is no shore. The ladder simply ends in midair.

If you jump into the ocean of golden light, you will not sink.

In this website, the Cave is where I will keep my posts on my Tarot readings, on personal energy workings, and on thoughts I have about my spirituality.
