Thelema
The Black Lodge is also another name for the Black Brotherhood of the religion Thelema and many occultists, and there should be a disambig page here for that reason. 207.202.227.125 00:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The Black and White lodges have long been associated with occult groups, secret societies and fraternities, such as Theosophy and the Freemasons. The White Lodge is generally for practitioners of 'white magic', whereas the Black Lodge is for those who oppose this, and use black magic against it (See: Dion Fortune, 'Psychic Self Defense'). This article needs a better history section that incorporates this context, instead of suggesting the concept of lodges is unique to Lynch or modern authors.

Moved
I move this over from the "Man from another place" article, as it better fits here. Some of it is questionable. Str1977 (talk) 00:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Black and White Lodges, otherdimensional places which are sometimes accessed by the unwary in the woods surrounding the town of Twin Peaks. The lodges seem to represent good and evil. The living can accidentally find them and become trapped in them. The lodges are also accessible to the souls of the dead. The spirits of the lodges seem to have different purposes. Some are evil, and feed on pain, lust and fear. Some visit the living in dreams or appear out in the open, often to deliver mysterious warnings.
 * The events that occur in the Black Lodge do not always happen concurrently with the linear timeline of the outside world, suggesting that they exist outside of the regular flow of time, and can be unremembered by those who experience them.

"One chance/chants out"
Although it might seem obvious, it may be worth pointing out that not only is it left ambiguous in the script/subtitles, but the alternate homonym work in different contexts - when the line must be spoken in the Lodge, "chants" makes sense, but one "chance" works equally well in describing the overall situation, and possible the situation of previous Lodge visitors. 67.160.173.101 (talk) 21:05, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

the white lodge
The aritcle states

"1. There are stories and clues that suggest the White Lodge exists or at least existed and one Major Briggs who claims to have been there, but doesn't remember more of it than seeing "a huge owl". There are no evidence, however, of that place."

This is not accurate. We see Briggs in a jungle setting on a chair. It is strongly implied this is the white lodge he is at. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.97.67.91 (talk) 14:50, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Clearly the WHITE LODGE exists, for again we see the Major sitting in a white throne like chair with lush foilage around him. For certain, he has never been to the BLACK LODGE.  The only two people to go to the BLACK LODGE are COPPER and EARLE.  The WHITE LODGE is not swallowed up by the BLACK LODGE.  However, the BLACK LODGE is trying to usrup all. --(208.120.87.253 (talk) 14:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC))

Strongest inhabiting spirit....
The article states without supporting evidence that BOB is the strongest inhabiting spirit, yet Fire Walk With Me strongly indicates that BOB is subservient to MIKE/MFAP. His apparent function was to harvest garmonbozia for MIKE/MFAP, and a falling-out ensued after he kept some of the garmonbozia for himself. This seems to be where the partnership dissolved, though BOB is still forced to turn over the garmonbozia from Laura Palmer's murder to MIKE/MFAP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.141.108 (talk) 22:25, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, the strongest inhabiting spirit is MIKE. BOB was actually MIKE's familiar in their days of killig together.  MIKE stated that he had seen the face of god and that made him want to stop killing for the purpose of gaining power, with BOB.  In his change of heart, MIKE decides to bring BOB down.  We know that he has a change of heart because that is the reason he give for taking off his arm as he says.  In the sheriff's station, JAMES tells COPPER and HARRY of the story told to him by LAURA about what BOB says to her when he is abusing her.  She states the BOB only fears one man.  We are led to know later on that man/being is MIKE. --(208.120.87.253 (talk) 13:57, 25 April 2010 (UTC))

The Red Room
I'm forgetting the episode, but , it is mentioned by Deputy Hawk , that before one can get to The White Lodge or The Black Lodge , one must pass certain tests of ones' inner spirituality in the waiting room. In the final episode of Twin Peaks, the little man from another place tells Agent Cooper he is in the waiting room. This would seem to indicate that the "Red Room", is the waiting area between the two lodges and that the various pieces of imagery seen by Cooper , are tests of his fortitude. Not so much realities, but an examination of his inner most fears! Harvey J Satan (talk) 22:21, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Merge done per Articles for deletion/Double R Diner.
Per the outcome of Articles for deletion/Double R Diner, the basic merge is now done. Additional consolidation and refinement is probably possible. BD2412 T 03:22, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
