The Western Gate

Toing and Froing, Up 'n' Down in the Earth


The Art of Drama and Blowing your Trumpet.

The Rhetorical Art of Affirmation in Astral Wanderings, The Circle Arte Magical and Role Playing Games. (Psychological Babble and Riddles)

Foreword: On the Eve of the 704th Full Moon from my birth;- the so called Blue Moon, when the second moon in a month is seen, the lamb removes its cloak, and in the silver light is seen the wolf ( from an old fable), In truth as wayfarers upon a crooked path understand, true months are seen according to divisions from equinoxes and solstices i.e. in true zodiacal months as opposed to our system, its not really a blue moon as that would be the 3rd Full moon in a season (between say Summer solstice and Vernal equinox) of Four Full Moons – Anyway… on with the rhetorical bollocks~


Within the scared circle or upon the threshold of Lucid Dream wanderings, The Sentinels, the Tyler’s and the Judges will ask, by what right shall you pass. The archetypes by which we are born form a contrived and rhetorical nature that hold the key to our being and stature, which cannot be argued, we could lie, then we would not pass for we are not reflecting ourselves but a false ego- “Ahamkara”. By using imagery and forming archetypes from fable, religion and wisdom together with the synchronicity of when and where we are born we create a ‘supernature’ to progress, or in other words;- we bombastically swagger with self indulgent pride with a cloak of indulgence.

“I am but a subject of Maat. Then stand as I must as Thoth. Born upon the full moon from the Equinox of the fall~ the Harvest Moon. In the first light of sunrise, as seen by the scales of justice (Libra)  as Maat is the double Truth So too reflected the Double scales of Justice. All things in order, fall to the manifest in the dreams of these archetypes. Born from the hands of the old Gods then fall as the leaves now coloured blood, indeed born on the morning after St.Michael routed those said fallen angels. The end of September~ the last of the 7ths. Born at Devas Street and at birth ~where are those three wisemen ? Heralded and symbolised. These ‘wisemen’~ By first I am named David, most beloved of angels yet seen to herald the first light that morning. By second then born at St.Andrews (stable/ hospital viz:Devas Street-Bow). And third as born in the land symbolised by St George. These are the three wisemen, St George, St Andrew and St.David and together they are three countries whose image reveals the hieroglyph of Maat. The Western gate of Judgement, appears in Ament (West)

 I was born as a Fire Horse (1966~ Chinese astrology), by nature untamed and free, to serve none except which stands as Truth. Upon the hillsides are those horses in this land . The white horse. So see this game;- The white Horse Cup Final (1923 ~ Wembley), As seen the last, Kalki. Upon the white horse rides he. The Tenth. Decca. in the hamlet of Decca, the Tenth, ten circles of time to ride, behold ! The Western Gate As West Ham’. So This year of birth in 1966, behold and see the castle, three columns and the hammers crossed (The Logo of West Ham and also ref: The twin towers of Wembley), each of three played the world (world cup 1966), by two claimed the goals, and one… the hat trick of course, and the third the captain, held aloft the cup of victory. On the 30th of the seventh, of that 7th month (from roman descript), September, the last of the 7ths. 307 the templars fall (1307 ad the rout of the knights templars~ a rather weak parallel). Are they not of the imagery of royal blood. That castle so called of a Queen beheaded and the players (Boleyn Castle from west Ham’s Logo), ten upon the field and one between as the guardian of the void (a football team), this is the imagery of the tree (alike the Otz Chiim ~ tree of Life), this is the wisdom of the Devas, this is the voice of nature. Symbology and Synchronicity are my reflections. I was born on the Seventh month from The Spring and 7 days after the Autumn equinox, and in the Seventh hour. (777)

 This is truth, as rhetoric or symbology, yet my language is not written but as these dreams. I am the consciousness that arose and turned inwards, I am the mind that divided that I could know that which I am. I am Dualit, I am at the right hand side of Maat.

My name is this winding stream (From my surnames meaning) from the light of consciousness, the spiral of creation.

Born in the East as of the rising sun at the Dominium of Lud where of course they speak in Rhyme. (London)

Then fall as did Rumi and Fall as did Jerome (birthdates 30th Sept), the creative and the logic, by the reason and by the imagination, the polarity of balance that exist in all things that they may be.

The Magic Flute (debuted on Sept 30th 1791), the piper and the devil reflected, Karya Jnana (an arcana name for the Horned God~ from Sanskrit), Nietzche says the year begun on September 30 1888, and as we see so struck the dagger, double, In duality, what dual sacrifice cast into the imagery, that evil Jack ! (The dual deaths of Jack the ripper Sept 30th 1888) And deal as devils do the cards I turn are 78 (Tarot)and here we fall 1966 (1888+78=1966). September 30, the day of Blasphemy (a modern conception created in France 2005)

Of my blood universal but only of my blood can I stand. All can take this blood and receive. Yet only mine can I take. (O Rh neg blood)
I am the tall man of the hillsides alike the horse. 

My left eye is blue, the right is green, I am 4 cubits high.

As I stand upon the threshold between life and death, the archetype is Judgement. I am below Maat and to her right side, I am Thoth.

At my birth that morning star (Venus) rose hidden, I was born by the Virgin Mother.
At my birth, Hermes, as Thoth arose in equilibrium standing by the scales
At my birth, Both Mars and Jupiter, Strength and Mercy, The claret and the Blue~ The blood Royal, each stood as the Lion, for by Strength and Mercy stands the king.
At my birth, Saturn, that great deliverer of the promise of death stood in the present age of Pisces.
At my birth The Moon, The Harvest Moon, stood with the opposite of balance in Aries. reflected then.
At my birth The Sun arose in the first hour of sunrise and as with the Ascendant, Double then the sign, “

The Guardians of that dread path so satisfied will then ask, what is the password to continue ! In truth I answer “Nescio” (I don’t Know)
The retort is thus answered, “I was born to the sound of the great Bells of Bow, who sing ‘I’m sure I don’t Know”, and as the teacher of Plato also said in a similar retort, “I know that I know Nothing”
Now this in itself is a paradox, for they that know, understand and can contemplate Nothing, thereby, have the wisdom of everything.

Wot’s this all about then Guv’nor ?;-
The Random musings of a nobody. “Dagenham Dave”, is slang for someone one stop short of Barking (mad), though more contemporarily refers to any wayfaring and carefree person. Dagenham is a town to the eastern side of London (Luds Dominium) that was first recorded in a Barking charter in 666a.d. as the town of Daeccanham. Daecca is an ancient man’s name meaning ‘bright’ or ‘famous’ . Ham is short for Hamlet.
Dave is short for David, Hebrew for ‘Beloved’, My Surname ‘Wenborn’ derives from old English meaning of the Winding Stream.
