Hey, great to find you back. Your channel is one of my favorites. I want to get this book now, it reminds me of something by Borges or Italo Calvino. And all of the strange clues and idiosyncratic dialogue make me wonder how much we're supposed to take at face value. Maybe I'm over-thinking it (you're the one with the book, after all) but it makes me wonder if there's another puzzle within the puzzle, especially with all of the unmarked doors. Please be sure to follow this up. Also, please continue your drawing and Perspectives videos, too. Thanks.
Thanks Michael. Yes, there certainly seems to be some riddle aspect to this book. Next time, I'll have to start tracking the different symbols over doorways too.
Wow, this was great. I'll have to find the first video. After all the bad luck toward the end, I was wishing we'd gone through door 18 after all, but that's hindsight stuff haha. Love it, thank you so much!
10:43 the two snakes symbol you're thinking of is the caduceus. Interestingly, it is actually a mistake to use this symbol for medicine. The caduceus is associated with a lot of things, most of which is based in trickery, thievery, bribery, negotiation, alchemy and as a symbol of Hermes, whose cunning could be used to trick other gods, and he was also the conductor of souls into the afterlife. As others have published, the caduceus should be the symbol on a hearse, not an ambulance! (The single snake symbol that *does* represent medicine is called the Rod of Asclepius.) Wonderful video, I had to drop my two cents in for a second hehe.
What a tricky situation... I also have no clue whatsoever how to read these hints and mysteries. Nevertheless a nice and interesting but also calming video. Thank you!

I guess I will have to rewatch the video since I obviously fell asleep over the lovely tea ceremony already.
