I Look to the NORTH...

Pyramid of Khufu,The Great Pyramid

I look to the NORTH

to moons past

to moons present 

the waxing and waning of light

A journey 

An encampment. 

The summer of the year 1988

The experience of One 

with each of the Four Directions 

The preparation 

the moon ceremony

the fire, 

the crystal

the call 

and Warrior Woman proclaimed

The wings of spirit soar 

in revelation and illumination 

The embrace of the NORTH

 the endowment of valor

determination

relentless strength 

vision, 

wisdom as true power  

Keepers 

those who hold the keys to SELF

they be known 

Hear the NORTH 

Nurturance  

Omnipresence 

Revelation 

Truth

Harmony

Hear I the masters

heed I the messengers. 

Wisdom of All

Oh how the mind conceives the thought

With restlessness your heart is wrought

For there is a just and kingly goal

Distant yet touching your crying soul

Be burdened not by task and deed

Lest you be lost to the greater creed

Inspired by self and the knowing within

Shall you pass the haunt, the doom of the din

Listen dear child to thy self sovereign and wise

Heed not to temptation, deception and lies

For it is the tear of joy that you shall weep

When the Promise you vow, you do keep

And when you reach and court the dream

With God's love stand thou supreme

Deception takes not your abiding soul

You have reached a kingly goal

As many may doubt and may berate

You shall prevail for love is thy fate

Guide the children, know their call

With God's tender love and wisdom of all.

2014 ... 26 years past...

A calling ever present be it heard...

THOTH fills the silence with splendor,

To wisdom divine I willingly surrender. 

The Emerald Tablets

 "That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above,

 and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, 

to accomplish the miracle of the One Thing." 

Entreat I shall 

for the NORTH calls onto me

Seekers shall be answered

Voices of revelation shall be heard

Visions of light shall be seen

SELF shall be known

SELF shall be known.

A spirited community gathered at the Union Arts Center, Sparkill, New York and gave meaning to Spirit Dance. This offering was conceived byAli Cayenne, a most loving visionary and dancer. She invites all to experience the joy of self in movement, in expression, in liberation. I had the honor of participating in the Closing Ceremony of the Four Directions, symbolic of the embrace of Mother Earth, and so here shared.

Whispers of an Indigo Night... as above so below

Whispers of an indigo night

The sounding silence, the sounding light

Mantras echo, each a calling divine

Spirit, love, grace of heart, soul, and mind

A blessed accord within vistas afar

With earth, the heavens and each distant star.

Atlantis and the Mystery - As above So below...

and so...

reflection be the play of mind
to earth be known the divine
pools of time and place to be
the heavens, the waters of ocean of sea
to hold the truths of time gone past
to BE of Spirit ever last
as above so below
wondrous creation our soul to know.

The Emerald Tablet of THOTH
Tablet 11
The Key to Above and Below

"List ye, now to my voice and become
greater than common man.
Lift thine eyes upward,
let Light fill thy being,
be thou ever Children of Light.
Only by effort shall ye grow upward to
the plane where Light is the All of the All.
Be ye the master of all that surrounds thee.
Never be mastered by the effects of thy life.
Create then ever more perfect causes
and in time shalt thou be a Sun of the Light
Free, let thine soul soar ever upward,
free from the bondage and fetters of night.
Lift thine eyes to the Sun in the sky-space.
For thee, let it be a symbol of life.
Know that thou art the Greater Light,
perfect in thine own sphere,
when thou art free.
Look not ever into the blackness.
Lift up thine eyes to the space above.
Free let thine Light flame upward
and shalt thou be a Child of the Light."

As Above So Below

as above, so below
branch and bough reaching to heaven's heights
roots to the deep depths of mother earth
'tis the light ever in quest
'tis the depths ever our behest.
