This crepe de chine silk ceremonial gown in a slim silhouette honors the powers of the Earth. It features the symbols of the ouruboros and the lotus, both powerful ancient symbols of infinity, wholeness and supreme wisdom. The capelet also features the snake, another sign of transformation, and is embellished with feathers of the turkey vulture, a symbol of purification. Also appliquéd on the chiffon cape is a poem called Terra Incognita by D. H. Lawrence about the potential richness of living a life outside the bounds of culture’s strict confines. Bells complete the ceremonial richness of this dress, representing the powers of the earth.

The Direction of the North honors the body, the dark, the mystical forces of nature and birth, death and silence. The Season of the North is Winter and the time of the North is midnight.
