Gimel

Gimel is the camel, the one that crosses the desert carrying water. On the Tree its path runs the longest distance, from Kether straight down to Tiphareth across the Abyss. The Golden Dawn gives it to the Moon and the High Priestess.

Working with it

Before sleep on a Monday, picture a camel walking across moonlit sand toward you, carrying something it means to give you. Write down what it carried when you wake.
