// Station 1 // Lore
This old melody spins a fable about an ancient carousel, nestled in the ocean depths, covered with glowing, vibrating plants 🌿.
It is said to bring good luck and spirits, especially if discovered spinning from underwater currents. Its location is a mystery.
// Station 2 // Field Notes
The lullaby describes “The Undersea Carousel” with a hallowed air, its lyrics illustrating in gorgeous detail not only the legendary object, but also the wonder and fortune bestowed upon whomever might encounter it.
Curiously, though the song is well-known, especially in rural areas, we found it quite difficult to ask about its truth and history. We attempted questions about whether the carousel actually exists, on which planet it might be, around when it might have last been visited, and so on – and were unable to find residents who had any interest in discussing such matters.
One group of elders suggested, not without twinkles in their eyes, that if we wanted to know more about the carousels (notably, spoken of in the plural), we should ask Thuvratioow. This is the nickname of an old god no longer worshipped, who last held sway some sixty thousand years ago, when none of the outer Pleiades had yet been inhabited.
We began to discern a collective understanding among the Pleiadians, that these mysteries were themselves part of the lore. That such secrets held beauty, and even commanded power, in remaining secret. That inquiries made in pursuit of precision could, in certain situations, prevent the attainment of a greater knowledge.
At least, the puzzle of the song's story is perhaps outdone by the story surrounding the song.
