Women were weeping for Tammuz who was the previous god for that place. He was a pastoral and then an agricultural god whose temple was sometimes referred to as a threshing floor
" 18 Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the Lord in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
...
22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the Lord: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
...
25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight."
So we see that an altar had to be set up on the "threshing floor" and that a large amount of gold had to be paid.
An actual agricultural threshing floor would be swept clay under a roof, perhaps with no walls and even no roof. Not really worth a large amount of gold
Notice that the full price had to be paid to avoid a plague - from which god?
Thus Tammuz was displaced from his "threshing floor" and the faithful women wept
And the image "provoketh to jealousy". Was the local population provoked to jealousy by an image, or was it a jealous god that would not permit his own image to be displayed - nor that of other gods?
"Amongst the early gods of Yeru-Shala'im was Tammuz the harvest-god, for whom first-fruits were brought from Beit Lechem (Bethlehem, "the house of bread" in its simplest translation, but the full name was Beit Lechem Ephratah, "the house [temple] of the corn god of the Euphrates", which is to say Tammuz)." thebiblenet.blogspot.com/2016/10/tammuz.html
>>From this we may deduce that the North is dark because its energy is too high frequency to be seen by the candidate.
Is it possible that frequencies below one's operating range also appear as darkness? If so, what direction would those frequencies been seen to emanate from?

Frequencies outside one's inner and outer spectra of vision appear as dark.
With high frequency inner plane energies there is often a white fringe at the edge where the frequencies drop. Hence the black unicorn properly depicted with a white fringe
>what direction would those frequencies been seen to emanate from?
Would they not appear from the same location as the source of those energies? Perhaps I do not understand what you are thinking?
I would also have thought the same location as the source of those energies, however, there could possibly be other energy source(s) within or around the main source that could be involved.

Just had a dream where my son in this life was not my son but a next door neighbor and not too cooperative. The very neglected backyard in the dream had lettuces growing in transparent plastic bags with the roots going through a hole in the bottom of the bag. The open bags seemed to concentrate the sparse rainfall, reduce competion from weeds and reduce evaporation from the soil.
The plastic bags were the same thin clear bags used here for putting vegetable in at the supermarket.

Was "north, south, east and west" not created by a world of flat earthers? Would "north" not be considered "up" by today's standards of direction?
Iean if you look at any map it shows ice to the high " "north" and ice to the "south" and everything else is in between. So as we face to east on a traditional"flat earth" it seems to me the the clouds(storms) always flow in an eastern (north or south ) path as if the earth spin in a wester like path. Why does no weather radar allow you to scroll high north and south? It's as if there is no real north or south , or they just won't let us see what's there.
I think that may just be the wrong approach to the thought. Direction was mostly designed around the perspective of the person in relation to the surroundings (sun, landmarks, oceans, etc). This developed into maps, being easier to remember what is where then to what we see today with latitude and longitude ontop of all the other.
There is a app called Google Earth that has satellite imagery of the Earth's surface. There are other apps for this too but I am not sure how well they work. It might interest you.
As I have progressed in my ritual and meditation I have come to see the north as a symbol of “forever and ever”, which by its very nature will always remain unknown.
I wrote this 18 months ago. How much my perception has changed in that time. Today I see the north as representative of the dissolution of self. We come into the world through a process of creation that we did not originate and whose purpose we do not truly or completely understand. We find ourselves as the created thing that we call human, and a rather grand thing we are. Through our agency we create in our own way, either large or small, good or bad, in the time allotted to us. Then we come to our time of dissolution or return to the creative force itself, also a process I do not completely or truly understand. The north therefore is the great unknown.
I am reminded that when I belonged to a lodge with a vacant chair in the North, on occasion in the dark half I would "see" a figure sitting in that chair.
It may be that having passed through the three inner initiations symbolised by the Masonic craft degrees, the initiate passes through the North to the next higher lodge

While I don’t think that I have ever done it intentionally, I do believe that I have mentally slipped into said chairs a few times. It was fascinating but chose not to stay long. I have also tried, and seemingly failed, to make said chairs sparkle a little, visible only to those true of heart. Illuminating hopefully a little to those true of heart, but also offering a gentle heart touch to those nearly there.
I could not tell you which specific lodge(s). As I say it just happened and I never stopped long. I decided it would be wrong to stop, but equally once there wanted to offer an ‘ah-ha’ moment where it could help.
