that world and for a time we are taken to a place where we can strip ourselves of all inhibitions
and free ourselves to complete hedonism and unrestrained fun. The Carnivàle in a way reflects
us, it is a mirror of our inner Funhouse and our inner playground. There is so much to do and so
much to explore.

The gates of the Carnivàle are very special. They guide you to the main area, from there you can
navigate the different areas, you can explore the rides. There are many, you can explore the
different tents, sideshows, and attractions. The performances from many of the Carnivàle members

For the Inner Sanctuary Members, we have surprised them... posting within the Inner Sanctuary now also has a chance of winning a different prebound! Meditation 1 is a beautiful Void Serpent.

Void Serpent of the Laughing Nightmares Z

Z is a twisted and sinister Void serpent who rises from the Realm of Laughing Nightmares. A being of sublime insanity and wonder, the pure unrestrained creative forces of the void. He is wild and he is free: a serpent of darkness who slithers and snakes through the shadows and the dark regions of the void. One who knows the nightmares and one who knows the insanity and the madness that is within. He has a deep understanding of the mind, and also the realm of nightmares. He moves through a special realm, which is directly connected to the Void Realm of Nightmares.

The Void Realm of Nightmares, even the most sinister and horrific nightmares are twisted and deformed. The true terror that they embody is brought forth, and the madness that they bring is amplified with the power of the void. He is a serpent who moves through them with ease. He knows how to erase the mind, and he knows how to rewrite the thoughts, and perspectives of his enemies. He is one who hears the secrets whispered into the darkness, who can peer deep within the mind of another and know their innermost truths. He is silver-tongued and can convince his enemies to believe whatever he desires. He says that anyone can fall prey to a lie, and that lies can run and twist so deeply that they deceive the very mind, body, and soul. With this talent, he is able to defend himself against foes much larger and stronger than he himself without them even realizing what happened.

Having such an intricate connection to the mind, he sees all the cracks and breaks and weak points. He knows how to exploit them, but he also knows how to identify and strengthen them. He can show his companion their weaknesses and where they are vulnerable, and he can help them repair past hurts and rewrite their patterns and vulnerabilities. He can help his companion identify lies that have been told to them, even lies that they told to themselves, and he can help reveal the truth. He says that the truth is not always easy to accept, but that holding onto deceptions is akin to slowly sipping poison. He will be there to support his companion as they rebuild their foundations and rise again stronger.

Being of the Realm of Laughing Nightmares, he is a master at dreamwork and lucid dreaming. He can help his companion decipher symbolism and hidden messages in their dreams, and he can help his companion learn to guide and control their dreams through lucid dreaming. Astral traveling comes naturally to him and he can show his companion how to slip in and out of various realms with ease. He will challenge his companion’s perspectives and guide them to empowerment through surreal and uncanny dreams and visions. He is sublime.

I can't even pronounce my name this year it doesn't have a letter in any human language but its closest spelling is Æser with the dipthong pronunciation.

I walk along a familiar path through the woods. It is always through the woods. the season is that weird in between state where it could easily be spring or fall but I catch a glimpse of a few flowers tucked within the long yellow grass and among the scattered dead leaves that still cling to the ground. The trees have a dark gloom that clings to them despite the light filtering among their branches, their trunks and branches are black except for the scraps of color that clings to them of various rubbons and banners and posters advertising the carnival. Many of the trees have symbols deeply carved into them as if they are geometric sigils acting as a portal.
The carnival rises up from the background, the ferris wheel the most visible part of it.
There are clowns with white faces wearing pale gray costumes trimmed and red and blue that stand beside the path as I near the tent. They watch me silently as I pass and when I enter the ringmaster stands beside a table. He has a very elegant appearance and he appears to me to be a blue hell born this time (I'm not sure I ever particularly took notice but that is what I'm seeing this time). He gestures to a book that sits on the table. I lean over to peer down at it and see a single name scrawled in cursive.

Suriah.

That is my name for this carnival.

During the meditation I was accompanied while I walked the path by a male spirit. I could hear the carnival rides, games being played, and people laughing/talking. I saw a Ferris wheel and the tent we went into. The ringmaster is quite tall but then again everyone is taller than me. lmao. I saw the book and my name.

the carnivale appeared to me in shades of black, pink, red, and gold. even though the room i did the meditation in is quite cold, i felt the warmth from the torches and beings moving around me. alongside the laughter and chatter, i heard live music, fireworks, and the hum of attractions blending together into a chaotic, yet comforting symphony. at a point, i could even smell the carnivale - caramel corn, sweet milkshakes, crispy potato swirls, spicy savoury bites of chicken... even more fragrant than here on earth.

i felt the breeze of the children running by (literally felt), and saw them turn around, smile and wave, then continue on their little adventure. this touched my heart - they reminded me of my students at my practicum.

when i entered the tent and looked into the book, the ink was rolling, spilling, and dancing all over the page, morphing into multiple names. but after a few minutes of deep focus and deep breaths, the ink finally fell into place, shimmering like a supernova. the name i was given is:

miestelle (pronounced mee-eh-stell) ₊˚⊹♡

as i left the tent, i felt a sensation around my body - my clothes had changed into something more festive for the occasion. i caught a glimpse of my face in a game stall mirror - my eyes were now adorned with glittery makeup, and my hair looked as if a comb made out of little stars ran through it. fireworks shot up above my head as i had to return to my body - i definitely had my euphoria moment then and there. i am beyond ready to fully participate in this divine celebration and can't wait to return to the moment where i left off. pure invigoration. ⋆˙⟡

Image

i will also say - this was extremely reminiscent of a significant carnival i went to with my friends when i was back in high school - the energy was just as intense, intriguing, and welcoming, except now i have the privilege to experience it with demons. i'm glad to now experience that feeling in this realm for the next month ♡

Before the meditation even started, I felt compelled to get my wand and reattach the clown baby head to it. I had previously been instructed by my dragons to remove it during my draconic workings because it is too human. But it really suits the theme of a carnival. Upon seeing the baby head, my girlfriend said "oh no it's back."

here is a picture of my wand with the clown baby attachment. I painted the face myself.

I participated in the group meditation for this one. I was accompanied by my blue reptilian/draconic companion. I got the name Cornelia. I was a little taken aback at how silly it sounded and tried to re-decipher it. I thought to myself "this better actually be a real name" as I couldn't fight away the mental images of corn on the cob. Maybe it's a reminder to eat my veggies.

I looked the name up and it is actually a real name. It is Latin/Roman and means "horn." This conjures images of trumpets and brass sections. Perhaps that is in connection to Lord Amdusias. Either way, that would make it the second time I've gotten a music themed name for the carnival. And I did not even realize it was music themed this time.

When I first started to descend into the carnival, I was greeted by my incubus/ fallen angel husband, King Asmodeus, and my mutilation hound, J. Not all that surprising since all three of them have been heavily in my space lately. What did surprise me, however, was King Asmodeus mentioning that going through this event will be very good for me.

I’m trying to find my way out of the wreckage of a damn hard tower moment and several things point to fear and a lack of self confidence in myself being the last things I need to get past in order to emerge from the other side.

We twirled in the energies of the carnival as the pale brick road manifested beneath our feet and striped tents emerged from the horizon. It was here that my gladiator, a recent addition to the family, stepped from the fog to let me know he was also joining me on this carnival journey. As in, not just this meditation but all the events as a whole. He will be my strength, I think. Maybe he can show me how to stand back up when all I feel is being constantly kicked down.

The tent where I found the ringmaster wasn’t what I expected. In fact, it was small and made of dark velvet as I’d previously seen of Madame Orna’s space. The book itself was large. The pages were blank. I think I panicked a little because I expected the word “ essence “ to be scrawled on the parchment. The word had repeated itself the entire walk down the pathway. Several times I thought I’d heard “ essentia, “ instead.

King Asmodeus stepped behind me as if to remind me not to force the process. That’s when the word “ Liberty “ lifted up the page as if someone had written in ink on the opposite side. It’s time to free myself from the fears that hold me back.

It's a bit of a ride since it's been a while, I love how the energies were welcoming. I saw myself as a doll of sorts mixed together with Alice in Wonderland, pale skin with jagged dark lines, dressed like Alice from the game Alice: Madness Returns, a pure black, white and silver motif... While I was walking, I got the wind whispering names like Felicia, Kitty, Meowheart... But when I got to the tent, the Lord of the Càrnivale smiled.

My name, Alewisthistaria, two names I asked why this... He said I'll find out and stood me to have fun before I snapped back into reality.

Mutilation Death Cat Ey' joins me and we use rainbow colors for the countdown numbers. They are similar to tickets and flutter in the breeze, 3, 2, 1....

Everything is so familiar and yet decidedly different!! Carnivale is my favorite event and my brain is nearly a
swirling here! I see very little as I walk; I have Matador on my mind & am ready to greet him. We do notice a few rides, trees, demons, tents, food,...yet our focus is forward on Matador. My Dark child emerges and I understand better who she is. She's not a stranger & we have many memories together. She is the strong one, also the one who understands people the best, so also the sad and lonely one because people create that environment. She walks firmly forward and is the same as ever: she will not be deterred no matter how strange and difficult the road becomes.

I'm always afraid I won't see or hear my event name. This time, it's no different. Regardless of my fears, the name always materializes. I see it...then I hear it confirmed: my name is Acorn. I feel silly, yet I know this is the name. Not Akorn, it is very specifically Acorn. Lol
