Ahoy Hoy, CC Horus

In less than an hour, unless my math is totally boned, the solstice will occur.
Since ~2006, I have performed a devotional practice to Ganesh/Sri Ganapati. We still chill heavy, but we had a wrap-up party during his 2015 puja, and it is now time to begin a serious and in-depth working with Horus because reasons.
I do not know what to say to... you people. I do not know if you're picking up what I'm puttin' down. I think I sent a signed photocopy physical letter once to the address in an Eshelman book like a decade ago. I think I e-mailed an address on the Soror Meral page once. I may have made poetic devotional statements to at least one abstract concept to myself, for myself, in the last decade.
Basically, I just wanted to say that I love you all very much, and that I wish you victory and pleasure.
Horus and I aren't tight yet. I don't know what his deal is. All I have is clove incense, a sigil, and my intentions. I should probably be using cinnamon or sanguis draconis, but all I have is clove and lavender because I used the rest of my incense, damn it.
Whatever, I don't think Horus gives any fucks. That's what he is the god of, right? Giving no fucks? That's what I read on his Wikipedia page, anyway.

Just sprinkled some clove on the top of my solstice nog. One of my favorite scents. Certainly appropriate to the season.
Chin chin!

Trip report: Because, as usual, I do everything at the last second, I made a large bind rune of the left eye of Horus, within a red pentagram. I anointed the sigil and myself with an oil of Yang, blood-moving stuff--dragon's blood/sanguis draconis, cinnamon, I think it has some sandalwood or frankincense (I made it a while ago, I... kind of forget). I lit some clove incense, I placed my bindrune on my altar, which has three pillars on it--black (Gedulah?) on the left, white (Chesed?) on the right, and alternating black and white candles for the middle pillar. I just did a simple affirmation all real quick and fell asleep not long afterwards.
I ended up having some intense lucid dreams last night. If I had to give a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being total blackout with no memory, and 10 being the most lucid dream you have ever had, this was at least an 8.
I was walking around outside in the daylight in a new and unusual place. It was like a county fair, or something. I kept asking people "Hey everyone, I know this is a really weird question, but what city are we in?" and a bunch of different people said "Green Lake". I asked what state/country, but at that point everyone would shrug me off and walk away, or seem to not even hear me. I probably should have been asking questions about Horus, or looking for him, but I was too mentally preoccupied with wanting to experiment in the dream world (also, things kept changing so fast that I couldn't settle in).
Can any people who know way more about gematria/symbology than me find anything interesting about the phrase "Green Lake"?

Sounds pretty straightforward - brings an immediate image - most likely a pool for emersion in Venus essence (especially Netzach).

First impressions for me connect it to the alchemical Green Lion and thus frame it as a place of beginning (the same sort of notion of "green" as we have in standard English to denote a beginner). Since your sigil was specifically Horus-related and your state of mind was that of a bit of a beginner in the realms of the Hawk-Headed Lord, I'd say you were taken to a place where you could begin to dip your toes in the water, so to speak. A place to test out your vision-questing in a small, well-defined pool of water before you discover the outward-bound stream that will grow into a river that will ultimately lead you, as you grow from Green Lion to Red Lion, to the Great Sea.
Also, the Latin would be STAGNVM VIRIDIS = 168. I'll leave the investigation of that number to you.
