SHAMANIC SYMBOL
A man with a pointed
beard and gauntleted hand holds a ball of light.
For a while he gazes at
it, then he crushes it, breaking it into fragments which turn
into butterflies
scattering away. Thousands of them swarm upwards filling the air
with light. Brighter
and brighter until it is too brilliant to see.
In the greatest light
we are as blind as if it is dark.
Then the butterflies
turn into birds as they get higher. The birds fly upwards
towards the heavens
where they become black and join together to create darkness.
On the
ground there remains a fragment of light which had dropped when the ball
was crushed.
It grows brighter and
fills the Earth with radiance.
The expression on the
man does not change.
Keywords:
Radiance Scattering Ascension Fulfilment
Hope
Light path Belief in oneself
INTERPRETATION
You are asked to be
a Torch-bearer of the greater vision, holding the Light so that others
may see. All around us in nature are aspects of this light. We have only
to look, the radiance is everywhere, Above and Below, in the life that
abounds. Become the embodiment of this radiance. This is the light that
gives birth to the planet and illuminates all that is Divine. The
scattered light is the seed of the stars and galaxies from the beginning
of the cosmos. It is still reflected within us. Within each one of us is
this spark. It is that which gives us life. Fan this flame to let it
grow until it fills your whole being. Then you will join with others as
scattered particles of light, which together give brilliant radiance to
the planet. Just as the light of the stars comes from long distant past,
the light that you are now giving out will be the light that shines on
for Eternity.

SHAMANIC SYMBOL
There is a mountain
which spouts fire.
A volcano which is pouring molten liquid in silence
A group of people
gather around, they are each alone in the crowd, watching, waiting.
As the fire touches
them they become frozen, like dolls, their hands stretching out to hold
a flame.
Nothing is moving
except the flow of the fiery liquid which pours over them
becoming solid.
Their eyes are staring unmoving at the volcano. This is the moment.
Then arising from the
centre of the volcano, there appears a feathered red tree,
reaching for the sky.
KEY WORDS: Stillness Radiance Transformation
Adjustment Preparation Merging Purification
INTERPRETATION
This is your connection point to the fiery Sun. Look at the moment. Will
you flow with the fire or remain frozen. This is a time of purification
and transformation. What will rise from the ashes? This is the fire that
destroys to renew. Look at the stillness, what is it telling you? The
Sun is spreading its solar wings. Bask in the radiance.
During this major shift every part of your being is undergoing
transformation. You are engulfed by the power of the SunGod, you are a
child of the Sun. This is a time for mystical reunion with the Source.
Open your hands to burn the light in your palms, open your heart to the
moment of Ascension. Radiate universal love in all your thoughts and
actions. The limitless fire of Life is pouring over you, flow with its
currents. This is true light. It is time to release past karma and to
retrieve lost parts of the self.
Remember that at every moment you are at the Source of All that is.
At
this time draw energy from the sunrise, storing it within you like a
battery. Reach out towards this sunrise.

A large crowd
gathers around a hill. All is silent and the air is heavy with
expectation.
Even the birds are
silent
Then from the crown of
hill there starts to rise a tower, getting higher and higher.
Nobody moves or
speaks. The tower shines of silver: around the top hovers a mist of
swirling colours, becoming a heat mist fading into the sky.
A few of the crowd
start to move towards the hill, through a concealed door. Others
just stand
watching.
I then
realise that this tower is a rocket with people entering.
They have
been waiting for this.
Others
continue to wait, watching, not moving at all.
The
expectation builds up as more people enter, then the rocket smoothly
glides upwards, shooting colours from all around, gleaming of silver as
it flashes upwards.
The crowd shows no
expression as they watch until no sign remains.
It is still silent.
KEYWORDS: Concealment Anticipation Being prepared Hidden

INTERPRETATION
For how long have you been concealing your light? Those who carry the
light are now being called upon. What signals are you being given? Look
around you, the signs are telling you that it is time to prepare. To
take the opportunity when it arises.
Are you ready for that moment. Your evolution is being
accelerated. Prepare to feel the rush as you accelerate to a different
frequency. There you will witness the sacred opening of the celestial
portals. Many will prepare to move through at this time whilst others
wait and watch. Do you have the courage to take the steps now being
offered? It may be many lifetimes before this chance will come again.

SHAMANIC SYMBOL
At the centre of a rose lies a maze. She draws us in with her
perfume. When you enter, this becomes a spiral going deeper and deeper
within. A feathery softness strokes us as we move through. A silence
covers us as we become one with the scent .
We follow it through and find ourselves inside a mound, shaped like a
pregnant belly.
We are to enter through the umbilicus. We know the way for we have been
here many times before. Here we find the place of Truth, Beauty and
Unity, where we wait like a seed waiting to be reborn.
KEYWORDS: Fertility Truth Beauty Unity Source Opening

INTERPRETATION
You have
entered the place between lifetimes. Are you ready to be reborn? Savour
this moment of true serenity; what you absorb now will be carried with
you into the next phase of your cycle. This is a place where only Now
exists. The seed carries within it the knowledge of what you will
become.
Each of us has our centre from where we came into this world. Trace the
path the spirit took to join the physical. What is at the heart of the
spirit. Now you are at the place of Centre. Where what has Been will
also Be, and what will Be has also Been

together. Together we can create the light which pierces the darkness.
You may want to draw or create your actual shield and its images. It is
a good time to reflect upon your own journey.

At last the
golden key has appeared. But where is the door it fits.
People are looking up into the sky, gasping in awe as the key reveals
itself.
It shines and illuminates all around it. But it is a key without an
apparent door.
It is gold with a knotted pattern around the top holding rubies and
other precious stones.
All can see the key yet none can touch it.
There is no sense of finding the door it fits, a total unawareness of
any purpose except its beauty.
When it appears a gentle humming follows, inaudible to most ears.
Way, way below the earth, through darkness and decay, lay the ruins of
an ancient civilisation still solid and waiting for the return, for the
remembrance. In a hidden corner stands a door, old and locked, awaiting
a key.
KEYWORDS: Looking beyond Offering Awareness Return
Release
INTERPRETATION
How long have we
been waiting for the key to the ancient mystery? So long that we have
forgotten what we have been waiting to see revealed. There is a vast
knowledge already out there just waiting to be discovered Look within
yourself and you will find that it has always been there.
You are being given the opportunity to find the key that reveals your
soul purpose. A purpose which has been buried for many lifetimes. Many
are offered the key which unlocks great secrets, yet are lost and unable
recognise that which is beyond Beauty: - Truth. The truth is so simple.
What can you see? Look beyond the appearance and you will find true
purpose lies beneath the surface.
Here is the key which fits your inner soul. Now it can be released and
the answer which you have yearned for can be found. Open the door to
another world. It has been waiting.

A turtle is
climbing slowly out of the water. Five drops fall from his shell.
Each drop is golden and heavy. Where it falls to the ground a tree
sprouts, each beautiful and different.
These are special trees of the five senses that he is giving to Mankind.
As we pluck from each one we can see, hear, taste, touch and smell in
turn.
The scent is overpowering, very narcotic, and we drift into a deep
sleep.
It is as if our souls are being drawn into the earth. We are heavy.
Above us spin webs of vibrant colours moving so that they weave our
dreams.
In our dream we are aware of some other gift being offered.
We seek to grasp it but have lost our memory of what it is.
It seems lost, yet it is within our reach if we choose to look into the
centre of our being.
KEYWORDS:
Offerings Centre Purpose Sensuality Remembering Seeking
INTERPRETATION
We are now at the
centre of our being, the centre of the self from which we may generate a
web of light and truth. Through this web we may also draw light into our
own bodies, calling this energy in through our senses. Allow your senses
to bask in the universe around you. Each is a wonderful gift. Yet how
often do we really use these precious gifts? How many times do we walk
through life unaware of what they can reveal? Go out and experience life
from all your senses, as if for the first time. Purposefully allow
yourself to experience the wonder of the new world that you encounter.
Awaken from your dream and remember. Look into the core of your being
and there you will find what you have been searching for. See how it
awaits you. Then you will become aware of the long forgotten gift
waiting to be rediscovered.

EQUINOX TO END OF SEPTEMBER
The Aces of Hearts and Spades begin the journey of the Sun from the
Equinoxes at the first degrees North and South of the Celestial Equator.
In both cases the energy depicted is an animal one.
The Ace of Hearts (1st degree North) is an Eagle, the Ace of Spades (1st
degree South) is a Fish. Interestingly the Northward degree (Ace of
Hearts) has the energy reaching upwards, (the eagle “must reach.. .the
highest snow-capped mountain”), while the Southward degree (Ace of
Spades) has the energy moving downwards, (“swimming downwards into a
cave”).
These two degrees contain the essence of the subsequent 6-month journeys
of the Sun. The first is from the Spring Equinox to the Autumn Equinox
(that is, the summer journey) which starts and ends in the 1st degree
North
- the Ace of Hearts. The second is the winter journey from Autumn
Equinox to Spring Equinox, which starts and ends in the first degree
South - the Ace of Spades.
In contrast to the soaring eagle of the summer journey, the essence of
the winter journey beginning in late September at the Autumn Equinox is
that of a Fish swimming downwards into a cave and entering an Egg (Ace
of Spades). The whole imagery here is deep and fluid. Unlike the
straightforward arrow-like Eagle, the Sun’s winter journey is depicted
as a changeable, mutating one. “A line from a spiral. changes into a
Fish which.. .changes into an eel which in turn develops ribbon-flowing
tentacles...”. As the energy flows downwards it spirals gracefully,
twisting and turning with the underwater currents. In effect it is
adapting to the energies around it and this describes the winter Sun
which is noticeably more passive, more Yin, than the summer Eagle with
its need for a consciously exerted force to reach its goal.
The goal of the winter Sun is to reach the conception of the year at the
darkest phase of midwinter. One is reminded of Kneph the Serpent (eel)
in the Egyptian Book of the Dead who produced the cosmic egg from its
mouth. It was from the egg that Ra the Sun-god was hatched, and this is
symbolised by the Ace of Spades reaching the “cave under the water” and
the hatching of new energy in the depths as the Fish “emerges (from the
cave) and swims out through the top of an egg-shaped globe”. It will
then gradually swim slowly and gracefully back to the surface light as
the days lengthen from the winter solstice towards the point of the
spring equinox. The whole imagery of eggs and fish and water is of the
Sun in a more lunar realm. It is required to react to the currents it
encounters on its winter journey more than force its kingship on them.
It is in a more contemplative, reflective mode, not required to fire the
land with growth but to lie low and allow things to take their course.
The Fish is an ancient symbol of the wisdom of the unconscious.

SHAMANIC SYMBOL
A line from a spiral moves and changes into a fish which swims through a
spiral wave and changes into an eel which in turn develops
ribbon-flowing tentacles, wafting through the water, swimming with grace
and ease, at one.
It then swims downwards into a cave where it emerges and swims out
through the top of an egg-shaped globe.
KEY WORDS: Life force Fluidity alignment
INTERPRETATION
Learn to flow freely in the moment, to change at will. Life is an ever
moving spiral. Know that your purpose is to be aligned with the source.
Feel the energy moving through you. Here lies the wisdom of your
unconscious. Within you there is a code of your potential. Align to this
path, as you become reborn.
As part of the realignment your body’s vibration is becoming less dense.
These new frequencies may bring changes to your nervous system and new
sensitivity as the electromagnetic system surrounding your auric field
is intensified. Do not resist but adapt to these changes.
Do not be afraid, as these changes occur a new reality is born, the mind
is restored. Release judgements. Accept all things unconditionally,
forgiving yourself and others.

A maypole with dancers, all going in opposite directions but this is
what makes the dance.
Weaving the pattern of life. This can only be achieved by allowing each
person to
move to their own steps and in their own direction.
There is a sense of celebration of Life, if we are allowed our own
rhythm but work together.
We must allow each other to dance to our own steps.
KEYWORDS: Acceptance of others Flow Celebration
INTERPRETATION
This is the magnificent dance of Universal Peace. How beautiful the
patterns that are woven, when we accept the steps of others. There are
no right and no wrong steps, only the flow. Then the dancers create a
new energy, the ebb and flow of life. There is much to celebrate. Look
around you. What is opposing you? Dance with it and around it. For this
is the way true harmony lies. Look at the polarities within you and
around you. This is a time when polarities unite in truth. The most
beautiful weavings are made from opposing threads. If you are facing
challenge, with others or within yourself, dance rather than struggle.
This is the way to harmony. We are beautiful in our differences.

SHAMANIC SYMBOL
A maze rises from the ground hovering in the mist. Many travellers are
lost.
A man with a sword anxiously tries to guide them, preventing them from
entering certain paths.
The barriers are made of mist yet are impenetrable.
There seems to be no way out, until it can be realised that the way in
is by entering through other dimensions.
Yet this they are unable to see. So on and on, the knight does his work,
moving people onto different paths that all lead nowhere.
Yet to step through only requires the power of thought - a journey of
the Spirit - and the mistways open into welcoming light and direct
pathways.
It is time to take that mind step now.
The moment is now and it may be many lifetimes before the way becomes
clear once more.
KEYWORDS: Divine guidance Barriers
INTERPRETATION
How have you constructed your reality? Is it a reality made up of
restrictions and barriers? You may have created these to protect
yourself yet the armour and the shield prevent energy from flowing
through you. These become barriers to our soul’s journey. Things are the
way they are because that is how you believe them to be. Let go of the
belief. The only true belief is that all things are possible. All that
is needed is the leap into the unknown, Trust; there is divine guidance,
loving hands to catch you. Let go of your fixed belief systems. Hesitate
and you will be lost.
There are many different realms and dimensions, each evolving
continually.
