Air Seed of Earth: Squaring the Circle

7.8.10



""Air Seed of Earth, is an ideagram for the Classic problem of Greek geometry: to construct a square whose area is equal to that of a given circle, or Squaring the Sircle". This problem can never be solved with a straight edge and compass, as it is an esoteric statement that can only be approached through mental alchemy." Dr. John Munford, "Magical Tattwas".



This is an evolving part of alchemy that grows stronger, as each level of foundation is made through the repeated process of transformation.



We take each level in our lives and press it, as a felted piece into the next, till the tapestry of our complexity is seen, as the reality of who we are in form. The airy ideas of our mind are given space, in the womb of our earth body, taking the complexity of a being conceived in the mind of the dreamer, and bringing it into the womb of formation.



I find that I have been pregnant all my life, in one way or another, because I love the process of creating matter on the plane of physical. I have a muse that accompanies me in every moment I live, and this muse is arch angelic, because it arcs into the angles needed to give me an exact angle of penetration, from the dreamer of the great work.



Air seed of earth is the arch angle of Squaring the Circle, where what is given is heard, made ready, sown, nurtured, born, and made real. The earth is the womb, and the circle is the idea encircling the womb, so the seed is not forgotten.



The Kabbalah calls these muses, the Maggid, and a relationship with them takes sometimes many years to fully develop, but it is immense.
[ Reference: "The Woman's Kabbalah- Ecstatic Jewish Practices for Women" by Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Sounds True Recordings]

  2. As I mentioned when we were talking last night, the part you wrote about pressing each level of our lives to be felted so that we can actually see the "tapestry of our own complexity"... just really resonates with me! It's such an empowering & insightful way to see the importance of every part of our lives that we go through. Thank you!

  3. Sandra, thank you, it is so wonderful to be able to share this work with someone like you, who's always excited about the smallest of things, and the largest, and never looses sight of its value.

  4. Suzanne, thank you, the felting has always been the hardest part, but it does create the greatest complexity and strength, and you have always weathered it in a way that gives the next layer room.
