Water Seed of Water: Diplomacy

"Water, sometimes described as the universal solvent, is the feminine power of cooperation opposed to masculine competition. All Water (liquid) flows, washes, adapts, & brings nurturing respite to the arid wastelands of our lives. This fluid mobility is the essence of adjusting to the ever-changing circumstances we experience,", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Yes, so delicious to feel this flow, even before you rise in the morning. Seems like I was inside a round orb filled with flow. I am so grateful for this alchemical delicacy. As I laid in this flow, all at once, I understood wreathing as a prayer, a flow, Holy Basil is what showed me this, this wreathing meditation, that is so water-like. It is also very nestial, which so much helps with the flow. Holy Basil, the diplomat of balancing the sweetness in life. Water Seed of Water, Diplomacy. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Ether Seed of Air: Logos, The Word

 "A successful change of heart, circumstances, place, or perspective upon paying attention to details & planning carefully. It is necessary to sense your heart, listen to your feelings, & speak from deep inside. When the head occludes the heart, intuition (inner tutor) is smothered. A window of opportunity is opening, the chance to make a fresh start. , Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Rising up onto the surface, remembering where it all began, and the cleanness of the Original Intent. Scrubbing back to the first thought, and touching my original hand forward, and Intuitive Intention, is given a larger Black Box than ever before, and the Conversation begins, The Word. Ether Seed of Air, Logos, The Word. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Water: Calm

  "Air & Water are neither friends nor enemies; they are neutral. Perseverance preserves what you have already established & permits the cycle to roll-over into new opportunities.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Opening up to what perseverance has to give I stay close to myself, I stay close to what is sacred within me, and I stay close to what I deeply love. This work that I do as life I cherish and slide between its folded layers to console myself enough that I can persevere. A gesture of awakening to the profile of a Goddess. The alchemy of Air Seed of Water, her circulatory rede. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Fire Seed of Fire:Resolve

 "Fire Seed of Fire is the most primeval Element of all. Fire is a manifest archetype of creation, power, & birth. In the human sphere, Fire elicits 'burning passion' & aspiration for illumination. Fire Seed of Fire, is the alchemist's supreme tool & conundrum. Only by enthusiasm & resolve can a solution be reached. Resolve, dancing as a verb, allows you to solve the problem.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Resolve, in alchemy for me is the willingness to break down, to take apart, to undo and understand, and be willing to build. To build what you wanted, before you needed resolve. Fire Seed of Fire, Resolve. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Fire: Mutual Harmony

"Fire & Air are interdependent. Air fulfills itself by ever feeding Fire, & Fire is grateful. Success is contingent upon finding the bridge joining the enthusiastic doer with the idealistic conceiver. An initial phase of introspection will resolve into a condition of beneficial settlement.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Mutual harmony, the seed of alchemy that fulfills my soul, it is the continual relationship with my beloved that creates who we are as Clarity. Our work is all about the speed rate that is facilitated by this alchemical position. Air Seed of Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Fire Seed of Water: Vaporization

"This is the time to progress through extroverted self-expression coupled with reaching out & engaging other people in a cooperative endeavor that suits your plans, but will be beneficial to others. Thoroughly mix Fiery Water with equal amounts of Watery Fire; such a conjunction bodes well for all undertakings.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

To believe in the power of a pattern world, to access, reformulate, recalculate, and orientate your daily life in this world, takes a huge and deep well of belief. Each day I deepen this well, as I maturize the Watery Fire and the Fiery Water of my own belief system, in this I become what shares with the world. Fire Seed of Water, Vaporization. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Ether Seed of Fire: Incubation

  “A change is ensuing in which the flame is almost ready to reach across the abyss of space, on the back of the wind. Allowing yourself more freedom, extroversion, entertainment, & self-expression will assist your plan to be 'hatched out' of the Cosmic Egg (Ether).", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

The support of the pathway is more clear, the valued volume is moving with more correanderous speed, and the doors are staring to open more freely, and I am kneeling deep down into acceptance as I begin to move my unconscious into my conscious, to employ the alchemy. Ether Seed of Fire, Incubation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Fire Seed of Earth: Alchemy

"The right amount of tempered optimism & enthusiasm fire the kiln, bringing your endeavors a step closer to completion. Tend the oven, sustain the flames & keep sight of the desired end. All human success results from the discernment of patterns in nature.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Digging right in to what I dug out yesterday. Going back to the Muse and letting her help me sort what my future creativity needs. One level built brightens another level built, but sometimes I need a small flashlight, and that's what my beloved holds for me, as I try to camera my day, into a wonderful movie of my own. Fire Seed of Earth, Alchemy. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity. 

Ether Seed of Ether (Space): Rebirth

Space (Ether) is always pregnant with freedom & possibilities of fresh starts & new approaches. Ether Seed of Ether always forecasts an optimum period for dramatic shifts in regards to persons, places, or things. The theme now is change, fresh starts, renewal, expansion of business or personal pursuits, rebirth, travel, rejuvenation, & regeneration.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Sitting inside the tone of Ether, folding into Ether, folding into Ether, folding into Ether until there is a Raven wing's span. Raven, an etherous totemic has scheduled this for me at this time, in a corrugation of healing that frees the wounded Fox in me, that has traveled through the years with a right leg caught in a trap. Ether Seed of Ether (Space), Rebirth. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Air: Supernal Nurturer

  "Air feeds Fire, sparkles Water, & nourishes Earth. Air is a Jacob's two-way ladder, from above to below & below to above. The present situation requires a conscious two-way stretch. Become like Janus, the Roman god of the New Year, who looks both back & forward, simultaneously. The future grows out of the present, which in turn, is a product of the past.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas. 

This alchemical position

This alchemical position unlayers this day perfectly, and I feel I have already begun, like so many times in this exploration in what alchemy is in the everyday life. Even if you don't realize it it goes on, realizing it helps you take the curves easier and catch the window before it closes. What a wonderful Pandora's box to own as part of your own power. Air Seed of Air, Supernal Nurturer. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Fire Seed of Ether: Transmutation

 "Fire Seed of Ether (Space); this portends a beneficial change in your current situation. The change may be one of physical locality or an alteration of mental perspective. Consider that prosperity follows upon geographical travel or 'flights of fancy'.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Out this morning for no real reason, except Fire Seed of Ether, except to be available for an appointment that we didn't consciously make. This kind of adventure is always a bit fun, because you are looking for a signal of significance, like a treasure hunter of a beneficial change. Being open, patient, and watching. A good pose for this day. Fire Seed of Ether, Transmutation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Water Seed of Air: Effervescence

"Water Seed of Air, can be an effervescent combination. You must be fully aware of the potential in the moment & take advantage of the 'sparkling' nature. Nothing is as infectious as enthusiasm, & now is the time to prove it. Take a lesson from the fact that so few people are willing to exert themselves in an outgoing, lively way.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

So true, and as an effervescent enthusiastic being I see this all the time. Each day I climb up to my own enthusiasm, and let it move me more, internally and externally, so that my voice rings as support to all those who are trying to climb up to the bridge that takes them on over to encouragement. Water Seed of Air, Effervescence. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Earth Seed of Earth: Foundation

 "In the world of the mind the consciousness is the masculine, while the unconscious is the feminine, receptive, Earth awaiting the seed of thought. To become pregnant with a thought means we can give birth to mental progeny. Now is the cycle to start.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas. "Resolute--imagination is the beginning of all Magical operations.", Paracelsus, 1493-1541.

Waking up to the courage of the Resolute, allowing my imagination to float freely all around me. Silent, erasive, allowing space to volumize, as my spirit approaching in closer to a seed of a new idea that needs room to water itself, allowing the idea, the economy of nourishment it needs. Conviction in order. Earth Seed of Earth, Foundation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Ether Seed of Fire: Incubation

  “A change is ensuing in which the flame is almost ready to reach across the abyss of space, on the back of the wind. Allowing yourself more freedom, extroversion, entertainment, & self-expression will assist your plan to be 'hatched out' of the Cosmic Egg (Ether).", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

This for me should never be overlooked. It is easy to often not give this room. Today I will walk to our local bakery and sit outside, and remember if this time is skipped there will be no room inside for the new ideas, that are starting to roll into place. Ether Seed of Fire, Incubation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Earth Seed of Fire: Potential

"Start & emphasize creativity. Deep within the mountain is the alchemist's furnace containing the flame of your vision; the fire radiates the warmth that can germinate the seed of your aspiration. Make decisions based around your priorities while nurturing the seed & erecting the infrastructure.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

 Potential, I feel that rising up through me this morning. It popped me out of bed, it's a mystery, so I need to find room to listen and follow this circumferic ridge around the circle of decision. Its temptation to become the full Fire window, but I realize I must give it care, decision, and mark the Seed with a striated force of Will, that will mark all things into the place and order needed for aspiration, and causating the Will of the Heart. Earth Seed of Fire, Potential. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Earth Seed of Air: Aspiration

 "Earth & Air are neither friends nor enemies; they tend to exist in mutual exclusion; it requires great patience & coaxing to bring Earth & Air into a state of cohabitation & cooperation. This is a good phase for starting & building the base for the future. Make certain you have included all the elements.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Traveling outward and inward today, at the same time. Up early to gather what feeds both. Gathering what we'll need to spend the day out, which we've hardly done since the Pandemic. Our home so cozy, but we must look out into a bigger picture, so that our aspirations can climb over the garden wall. Excited, but a bit anxious, that is what aspiration is all about. Earth Seed of Air, Aspiration. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Fire Seed of Fire: Resolve

"Fire Seed of Fire is the most primeval Element of all. Fire is a manifest archetype of creation, power, & birth. In the human sphere, Fire elicits 'burning passion' & aspiration for illumination. Fire Seed of Fire, is the alchemist's supreme tool & conundrum. Only by enthusiasm & resolve can a solution be reached. Resolve, dancing as a verb, allows you to solve the problem.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

I have found that breaking it down is the fastest way to resolve. I, myself, Fire, often find my enthusiasm needs room to break things down, and then with all the little parts I can regenerate myself and become the verb of resolve dancing into new ideas, less complex, simple, and more effective. Fire Seed of Fire, Resolve. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Fire: Mutual Harmony

  "Fire & Air are interdependent. Air fulfills itself by ever feeding Fire, & Fire is grateful. Success is contingent upon finding the bridge joining the enthusiastic doer with the idealistic conceiver. An initial phase of introspection will resolve into a condition of beneficial settlement.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Allowing the Fire within me to burn a little more brightly, I begin to cross over the bridge, between doing and receiving. The receiving being a quiet space that I resume, as the doing moves through me, to create a mutual harmony in a day that is more Fire born. Opening up the Portals. Air Seed of Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Fire Seed of Water: Vaporization

"This is the time to progress through extroverted self-expression coupled with reaching out & engaging other people in a cooperative endeavor that suits your plans, but will be beneficial to others. Thoroughly mix Fiery Water with equal amounts of Watery Fire; such a conjunction bodes well for all undertakings.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

To take in the breath of enthusiasm is to bring one's dreams into vaporization. Sometimes my enthusiasm, and the depths and breadths it goes overwhelms me, but today I am going to catch it up, and breathe it in deeply, and create an immensity from it. Fire Seed of Water, Vaporization. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Earth: Squaring the Circle

  "The circle is the kingdom of the mind...the square is the earth, the only womb in which the seed of an idea can be materialized, crystallized, & actualized. 'Squaring the Circle' is the mental alchemical process of transferring an Airy concept from the mental plane to the physical dimension so that objective conception & birth become a demonstrative reality.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Squaring the Circle, a nesting box for the Alchemical Egg, all points of reference accounted for, a still point for who you are, a directional finger print pointing you like a compass. Land your feelings, what you truly dream, and move. Air Seed of Earth, Squaring the Circle. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Water: Calm

  "Air & Water are neither friends nor enemies; they are neutral. Perseverance preserves what you have already established & permits the cycle to roll-over into new opportunities.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Leaning deeper into calm this morning, I must step back from all my agendas, sometimes kind of hard. I get so excited I want to do everything all at once. I must engage myself more alchemically, and locate where the calm begins for me. Out of all excitement, there must be a space available for calm. I sit down, turn around and see what calm has to give, so hard when you are at the starting gate. Air Seed of Water, Calm. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Earth Seed of Fire: Potential

 "Start, & emphasize creativity. Deep within the mountain is the alchemist's furnace containing the flame of your vision; the fire radiates the warmth that can germinate the seed of your aspiration. Be creative, original & innovative with what is right there now. It is not what you have, but how you use what you have.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Love this alchemical position, because it has potency of the here and now, the yes in your world. No strain, no reaching, just smelling, hearing, tasting, from the very seat of your awakening, Being who you are more than anything else. Earth Seed of Fire, Potential. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Water Seed of Earth: Alliances

 "Water nourishes Earth & Earth is Water's chalice. Water & Earth are lovers. Positive action is called for. Initiative is the initiation of Reality. Vigorously pursuing your aim will bring bonuses. It is 'on the cards' & 'in the cards' as an auspicious time favoring an unexpected relationship developing.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Keeping folded through the night, I now feel more ready for this complexity. Alchemy is complex, but a very simple process, because it knows where it's going, and its total focus is getting there, being there, and unfolding from there. The focus of this position is holding the pose as the unexpected relationship develops. Know you are real and every position you take develops from that. Water Seed of Earth, Alliances. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Fire Seed of Ether (Space): Transmutation

"Fire Seed of Ether (Space) : This portends a beneficial change in your current situation. The change may be one of physical locality or an alteration of mental perspective. Consider that prosperity follows upon geographical travel or 'flights of fancy'. Such a change, if handled correctly, will be fruitful in the realms of company or personal re-organization, spiritual growth, & creative inspiration.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Waking up this morning with this position well calculated within me. More energy, more vitality, more groundedness. Grateful that in alchemy there is always a shift working towards a combination of a new beginning. Fire Seed of Ether (Space), Transmutation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Water Seed of Air: Effervesence

 "Water Seed of Air, can be an effervescent combination. You must be fully aware of the potential in the moment & take advantage of the 'sparkling' nature. Nothing is as infectious as enthusiasm, & now is the time to prove it. Take a lesson from the fact that so few people are willing to exert themselves in an outgoing, lively way.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Within the excitement of enthusiasm is an infectious reality of change. So few people are willing to exert themselves enthusiastically, because this infectious, inflaming enthusiasm will definitely create change. Change is thought of as an inflammatory process in life, it will throw you down, put you under, and over what has felt comfortable before. A world that is changing is a world that is inflamed, and that's what they are calling every disease and discomfort, inflammation. I intend to change my view, my body response, my sight, to change heals, and eases my life to more and more conscious awareness of the beauty of all I am. Water Seed of Air, Effervescence. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Ether: Transformation

 "This is the time to rearrange your plans carefully, & go gain a fresh perspective upon which details are relevant & which are not. Sift the chaff from the wheat. Ultimately, this change can be very beneficial, allowing you to tie up loose ends, bury the past, & enter a new positive phase.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Transformation, re-potting plants and taking them downstairs, allowing the garden to let go of loose ends, and start building a way to be in the winter. For me, these loose ends are the same, being inside and outside both. Now creating more studio space inside to feed us in the winter, this is Air Seed of Ether, Transformation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Ether Seed of Air: Logos, The Word

 "A successful change of heart, circumstances, place, or perspective is dependent upon paying attention to details & planning carefully. It is necessary to sense your heart, listen to your feelings, & speak from deep inside. When the head occludes the heart, intuition (inner tutor) is smothered.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Needed this council this morning, so fortunate to work with alchemy and all its inner workings. Opening my heart wider to myself, I see the wisdom of all my choices, even though strange, they fit the mark, and I am learning to trust them more each day. Intuition, my inner tutor. Ether Seed of Air, Logos, The Word. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity
