Goddess Moon—The Ancient Queen of Heaven

For years, the accompanying ‘clip’ of a picture has been a favorite of mine. It mimics art from ancient, matriarchal times. Such a powerful message is held in these characters that national flags (Turkey, for example), and even baked goods (the crescent—yes, that’s the yummy truth) have been created from the design (unfortunately sans the goddess that is so important to the overall effect). Based on the moon behind her and the deer or gazelle poised in the forefront, we know this is a depiction of Artemis, the Greek Moon Goddess and spirit keeper of animals. However, I sense the deer represents something more than just the totality of earth’s animals. Tribal people know the deer is the best shape-shifter in nature. For movement in and out of the earthly plane, many spirits choose to take the form of deer because it makes for a swift and easy transition. And I believe the deer in the foreground gives us a giant hint that the entire depiction is about transformation and therefore, carries a relevant message about the times in which we live.
In the Midst of Divine Distillation

According to the French Spiritist, Laurant Mulelet this year, 2011, is the year of spiritual distillation. Teaching Aquarian Alchemy, I know that traditionally, distillation is the sixth major operation in the alchemy of transformation. Chemically, distillation involves boiling and condensing the solution created in the first five alchemical steps. It is undertaken in order to increase purity. Distillation is represented by a compound of two substances that once pressed together make what alchemists called a "bezoar." In humans this is like binding the intestines and brain together as one. In spiritual terms this means during the year of distillation, it is going to take guts (or courage from the gut level) to challenge the mind to go forth and finish the seventh and final stage of the planetary and cosmic transformations underway.
Post-Piscean Parenting

The skills and attitudes required to assist in the healthy development of a soul are often less than evident, even for the most loving adults. Especially when that child will be required to live in a future that no longer follows the template of the past, but rather takes off on a direction of its own. Today’s young will live adult lives not only influenced, but actually dominated by Aquarian energies. These times will demand an altered set of soul traits in order to function well, both as an individual and as a member of Aquarian society. As parents who were brought up at the end of the Piscean Age, we often feel lost and no longer certain what is asked of us. What do these Aquarian souls really need from us?

As ‘time travelers’ able to render the future familiar, Ancient Americans had to know that we who would live during this current transition time would get stuck in our ‘modern’ approach to pretty much everything. What I am talking about is the kind of societal glamorizing that sounds like this: “What we currently have, do and know is the best or only way to go. We must never surrender who and what we are, do and know—especially for what is unknown.”

A hundred years ago or more, miners would send a canary down into a mine shaft to see how the inner-earth air impacted the bird. If the canary floundered and died, the miners knew the space was not healthy for them. Now of course we have scientific instruments to measure air quality, along with the wholesomeness of water, food and many other commodities. We no longer trust that when birds or other elements of nature die or seemingly vanish, dangerous consequences are apt to follow. After all, we have scientists, men backed by big corporations and institutions to tell us to relax, put those aspects on a list of what is endangered and go about our lives as if…
New Earth’s ‘Due Date’ Delayed

Proving once again that certainty is the enemy of the mental body, and that in times of transition our motto must be “scrap the plan,” the Maya elders met (in 2008!) to renounce westerner’s solar interpretations of their lunar calendar. In other words, we can forget about 2012 and join the Maya in expecting Earth’s renewal at a later date.
