RIDDLE OF THE FIRST GATE

The Spark Unseen

🕯️

"I fell without falling.

I burned without fire.

I carried the light of something not lit.

In the forest where names echo like rain,

a beast wore my face and fed on my doubt.

But I rose with a coin and no flame. Only will."

Now answer this:

There are three tongues, and three numbers that know me.

The first tongue calls me by a name that glows but cannot speak.

The second tongue divides me into four, but names me once.

The third tongue calls me by the number that sits between

EL and ALA in the wheel that was never named.

Take those names.

Arrange their letters by the numbers they hide.

Then read only the first of each name.

What do you find?

When you know, it will light your way forward.

And only then will your torch respond.
