Ari Melamed Quotes

• "As someone whose roots come from Tengrism shamanism, I would love to understand more about their Korean shamanism.

Understanding and controlling the world of the dead is part of our path to enlightenment." - Sevinch

• "If I have learned anything about those within House Melamed in my time associating with them.. it is that you should not be lulled into complacency by what you think you see on the surface. On the surface Elder Ari Melamed is the perfect picture of calm politeness.. like a mirror smooth surface of an ice cold pond on a warm summer afternoon.. so calm.. so beautiful.. that one almost forgets that those still surfaces hide depths and threats that one cannot fathom. Admire the stillness and the calm, but do not be lulled into complacency by it.. lest that be your last mistake." - Christian Whitechapel
• "My dear sibling, you have been a source of wisdom and guidance over the years, even if our paths have diverged in these strange times." Zalman-Rose Melamed
