The ritual of calling your own name three times,
I did perform it once a very misty night. I was so desperate to know my inner being, my authentic self, and thought I'd ask my double what it was.
To my surprise it worked! A being really did walk out from the cold mists to meet me, and he was my spitting image too! Aloud with heartbeat and bereft of breath, I tried to find my words and make a greeting—but before I could, he simply said: “You will not find your answer here,” and then he left.
I was refused.
I called the name I had been given thrice, and someone of my image really did emerge there in the night—but told me he was someone else. The name I called, it wasn't mine.
