In lunar terms Illumination has to do with your seventh part? It's about recognizing the divine spark within, about reconciliation of opposites.

IMO, kralorelan/draconic enlightenment is about grasping intellectually, emotionally and intuitively the holistic nature of the world, you are the world, and the world is you.

Not quite the same, I think. The effects may be similar perhaps, but the revelations are different.

And now for something completely different. Those who have always wanted to know what an East Isles ship looks like, just point your browsers at

where you will find scanned images of a couple of drawings I have done. Mind you, I'm not a professional artist, so don't expect Simon Bray/Dan Barker quality.

Anyway, more to come.
