urZah

the Ritual-Guardian

"Make the dark light."

"Look deep into the single spiral, see your inmost being, and follow the teaching. Look deep into the double spiral and see the beating heart of all, the breathing of the Universe. Look deep into the triple spiral and find your soul."

"To mean is not to do. To make a sound is to trouble the roots of silence. To play the flute is . . . to make a slave of air."

"The storm comes. It is time. Time of change. Time of trial."

"The future is many futures. We see them all. Which one will be yours is for you to seek."

"Evil does not exist. Evil is disharmony between existences."

urZah the Ritual-Guardian had another wisdom. His mind was like a deep pool stirred by profound currents. Very slow to move, to speak; as wise as the silent stars. He made the sand paintings of prophecy for the urRu, pouring out the colored sands while the others chanted; combining and brushing the sands of amethyst, opal, agate, onyx, and chalcedony; building the forms of spiral energy, himself a spiral, and at the moment of completion and revelation sweeping all away with his tail. He spoke more freely than the other urRu, but in riddles for choice. Long nights of meditation had left thought spirals not only on the skin of his face, as on the faces of the other urRu, but all across his body. Of this he would not speak.

 

This is his Skeksis counterpart:
