The Lover's Future

A Purity Cleanse in the Garden of the Valley of Atonement followed by Crossing the River of Hiddekel must be completed before their union could be graced. The High Royals finished the Cleanse and headed, hand in hand, to the banks of the River.

The fierce weather lent a foreboding violence to the River.  Unable to take anything, including garments, from the Garden, the High Couple faced the River hesitantly.

Pure in spirit, body and mind, the lovers walked faithfully into the River and proceeded East of the Garden of Eden from the Valley of Atonement to begin our future.
