Step 4 of 11 · Light in the Dark

Kenaz

Modern interpretation

Why this step

Kenaz is a smaller light. On this site it is the torch, controlled fire that lights a dark room instead of destroying it: knowledge, craft, the small flame of understanding. Its reversed reading names both ways a torch can fail. It goes out, or the fire escapes its container and burns something it should not. The next entries look at both.
