‘Since the dawn of time an ancient and sacred procession has taken place. The procession, known as ‘Wn taribb’ (the Silver walk of the Moon king) derives from the moon-God Low. Two obelisks, or sky stones, bridge the gap between the moon and the earth and act as a portal where time is suspended. It is thought that Low watches over anyone who crosses this threshold and blesses them with golden sight and great knowledge. This procession lasts for less than an hour and only takes place every nine years, when shifts in the lunar equilibrium opens the portal and allows mortals on earth a glimpse into a dimension of Gods, Kings and unbelievable creatures.’
