At a clear open turn of the roadwayMy passion went up in a cry,For the wonderful mountain of BlaavinWas bearing his huge bulk on high,Each precipice keen and purpleAgainst the yellow sky.
The yellow sky of the Golden Age has been a major theme recently, so this got my attention. This photo, from here, where it is captioned "Blaven at sunset, from Loch Hourn," suggests the sort of image the poet had in mind:
Since I'm giving up 4chan for Lent, I decided to give https://archive.4plebs.org/x/random/ one last twirl for Mardi Gras. I got "Occultism & Magick General: Hawk-Headed Lord of Silence & of Strength edition" (April 11, 2018), with this image:
There's lots going here synchronistically, of course, with the Sun and Moon as the two eyes of Horus and so on, but what caught my eye in the present context was the purple-and-yellow coloration of the god. The purple parts of his body form a rough triangle, like a purple mountain against a yellow sky. There is water in the foreground, just as the image of Blà Bheinn I found was taken "from Loch Hourn." Even the name of the lake suggest Horus (Horon in Hebrew).
The post itself was something that is often reposted: a link to a massive (but sadly now defunct) online document dump known as Ape's Library because it was curated by someone using the Crowleyan moniker Ape of Thoth.
So, purple and yellow, with an Ape connection. I decided to click "Random" once more just to see what would come up. I got "/LoA/ - Law of Attraction & Manifesting General" (November 2, 2021), with this image:
A purple mountain against a partly-yellow sky, with a lake in the foreground.

A purple mountain brings to mind Eressea for me. "Mountains" in my symbolism have represented other worlds, and purple specifically has been associated with Eressea for me. I had written about my earlier childhood dream/ nightmare which involved finding myself on a world that was completely purple:
"In the dream, I first found myself standing in a strange place. I looked down, and saw that the ground was purple. Everything felt very barren like a desert, and the wind was blowing sand around. But the area where I stood wasn't flat. Rather, there were rocky hills and cliffs around me. The hills and cliffs were purple as well, and as I looked up to the sky, it was also purple. Everything purple..."
I'm assuming you looked up some meanings of Blavin/ Blaavin. Blu Bheinn means "Dark/ Blue Mountain", but those other variations get interesting.
Blavin can mean "Blue/ Dark Friend" or "Dark Protector" (Blao + Win, and Win can mean either Friend, Protector, and I think even Lord). That seems like it could have some connections.
In English, Blavin means "Wine Drinker". This popped for me given the potential connections I had made some time ago between Pharazon and Noah from the Book of Mormon. Pharazon of course assaulted Eressea and drank the lilies' nectar (i.e., Dandelion Wine), with Eressea being the purple land in my childhood dream, or at least that is how I've come to interpret it. Noah was directly referred to as a "Wine Bibber", the only such designation in the Book of Mormon. Bibber means "drinker", so Noah was a Wine Drinker... or a Blavin. I had been thinking of that connection again given the Three of Pentacles, with Pharazon potentially represented in that image, so it was interesting to see seemingly such a direct reference in the name of Blavin (and also to a Blue person... like Jay Leno).
Pharazon was also linked, again in my mind, to the Golden Age and yellow sky symbolism that came along with it in some of your other syncs, so also interesting to read you linking the purple mountain with the yellow sky.
Lastly, the other meaning of Blavin caught my attention to round this whole thing out. My nightmare of that purple world involved a Wolf who was hunting children in their house, which was one connection that I used to trace that dream world to Eressea given Daymon's story of Pharazon's assault, which included the description of wolves hunting little children (and also monsters coming out of caves, which was also part of that dream). The other meaning of Blavin is based on it being the anglicized version of Bleddyn (from Welsh), which can translate to "Wolf" or "Wolf-man".
William,
Interesting the 3 yellow and white
Lotus blooms in the illustration.
Lotus blooms representing the rising sun
and the divine.
Yellow is of course the color of eggs.
In your previous Tim dream maybe the shady lady was tempting
you to either break your fast..... or perhaps not?
Fasting having to do with self discipline which
may explain why she made you nervous.
Maybe she represented something in you
that is 'FED up?
Everything is connected
which eggs certainly makes
that symbolic point.
"I am he as you are he as you are me
and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I'm cryin

Boy, you've been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

Goo goo g'joob---- The Beatles,
I am the Walrus.
Make note of the pig reference in I am the Walrus
and in your Tim dream reference to bacon.
Also note the wording to 'yellow" matter custard'.
Also note in the I am the Walrus video ( link below)
at abt marker 3:32 or so there is a 'cloud of people' in the
upper left corner 'eating'.
In symbolism and especially dream symbolism
anything having to do with
food ( even eggs and a vegemite sandwich)
and eating or the setting in the dream is
in a kitchen or restaurant etc,
means food for thought.

"Isle of Skye" (as opposed to the scriptural "isles of the sea") itself suggests another planet.
I may have mentioned before that my childhood fantasies about the Little Skinny Planet also involved a Purple Planet where everything was that color.
My own instinct was to associate the Wonderful Mountain with Donkshatriyan Peak and the Griffin.
