Have\nwe ever come up with further references to Madregot than the kabbalistic ones?\n(remember, I'm new to the list and haven't completely read the archives, so if\nit's there, tell me to go RTFM and I'll nicely shut up and go do some\nreading)>\n\nWe've not often (ever?) talked much about the Brook beyond Briah, but I don't\nthink such a brook is mentioned in the Kaballah. The universes in the Kaballah\nare usually parts of a \"tree\" and connected by \"branches.\" But, the Brook\nMadregot is simply Severian's way of perceiving the corridors of time, and\nprolly looks differently for other people, like Master Ash and the Green Man.\n\nAnd relating to the Brook Madregot, I think the stream on 8 Face Mound in\nOrson Scott Card's \"Alvin Maker\" series is a geographic, as opposed to\ntemporal, variation on Wolfe's brook.\n\nChristopher R.
