-------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE ---------------

You are tasked with educating Apprentices in understanding the meaning behind the words loosely used within ritual. You are to use the story of Jacob's Ladder and the Tower of Babel.

1) Identify the actual word used to denote the ladder Jacob dreamed about.
2) Describe what that word denotes.
3) Did the Jacob story occur before or after the Tower of Babel story and what is the significance of each story in the efforts made to connect two places?

-------------- INSPIRATION ---------------

-------------- THOUGHT PROVOKING ---------------

Good Advice!

(But first, recognize and understand what constitutes your soul!)

-------------- INSIGHT ---------------

-------------- DIRECTION ---------------

-------------- DAILY TEASE ---------------
