Air Seed of Ether: Transformation

  "This is a 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. Change, as a noun, means the result of making something different, while Change as a verb carries the implication to make something different.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

What makes change is a bit of a mystery, and what is real change is a bit of a question. Coming forward inside the early grip of a day, you can feel what has happened in the night. Have you changed, or are you changing something, or has something changed you? All good morning questions, in this you will not miss any part of what you are living for. Ask the question, move the piece on the board of you life conversation. Transformation follows. Air Seed of Ether, Transformation. ~ 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.

Alchemy, is a most intriguing factor in life to me, it completes your day, moves it through, and ends it with a new position that will provide a successful step to the desired end. I go to bed with this, I dream journey with this, and I wake up in the morning to this. A new day is provided, even if not understood. The understanding comes with the tempered optimism with the enthusiastic tending of the kiln. I engage the pattern of Imprintsial that have Mycelial origins, so let the magic begin. I will engage. Fire Seed of Earth, Alchemy. ~ 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.

The Alchemy of navigating these times is done by creating a sizzle that slides between Fire and Water, that emulates a connection that creates a vaporous life and allows one to be fed in times of travel between the Veils. Reaching through and traveling back allows one a quickening that can be shared in the creative expression with others, so they can successfully travel through. This is what the Imprintsial Patterns do, and how we assist the world into ease. Fire Seed of Water, Vaporization. ~ 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.

Coping with the forward and the backward at the same time, I learn to juggle the past, present, and the future in a whole new way. Reluctantly needing to provide new rhythms of thinking and believing, creating thought that can utilize, manifest, and create what I need. Janus in three positions. Past, present, and future, Trinary Code. Air Seed of Air, Supernal Nurture. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Earth Seed of Earth : Foundation

   "The signal of this card is Start. New beginnings bring a fresh start. Mother Earth is the womb from which all our creations & projects can be born, for Terra Firma provides a secure foundation which, if carefully tended, can support a crop of projects.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Carefully attended is an aspect of this position, even when you have all the underlying qualities set, you must attend to each piece for the beginning foundation to become secure, so. it can support a crop of vitiating positions that will make a difference in the future. Be willing to come unglued and re-glued for a better connection. Earth Seed of Earth, Foundation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Earth Seed of Ether: Renewal

 "A wrapping up of the past with the present is necessary for advancement & the sight of new horizons. The bitter with the sweet, highs & lows, peaks & valleys, all coagulate at this time enabling personal integration & growth.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Perfect alchemical position for today, I feel it in the air, I feel it in the early morning breath, and I feel possibly capable of such a brilliance inside of new horizons. It's like a color-it-in picture day, all colors are available, a box of 78 crayons or more, excited. Earth Seed of Ether, Renewal. ~ 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.

Well this is the day for this alchemy, Christmas is about enthusiasm and the generous Heart of Gold. If people can't reach it all year they do seem to reach it at Christmas. Christmas is a climb into the stars, where you dream about Love, Forgiveness, Acceptance, Abundance, Gratefulness, Recognition, Compassion, and Unconditional Love. This is Santa's bag full of gifts. Love sitting on a star together on Christmas morning. Water Seed of Air, Effervescence. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Water Seed of Ether: Synergy

"Water Seed of Ether, presages a coming cycle of enthusiasm followed by a temporary plateau (allowing recuperation & regrouping) & then a sudden growth spurt, ending with a conclusive settlement. Efforts should be redirected towards building solid bridges of communication & empathy.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

The perfect alchemical position for today, Christmas Eve. Getting everything ready to receive more Light, positioning the cradle of the Self to receive solid bridges of communication and empathy for Christmas Day and the new blueprint for the New Year, built on a higher frequency. Water Seed of Ether: Synergy. ~ 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.

Perfect day for this alchemical position, going out in our Christmas magic to feel a successful change of heart, circumstance, place, and perspective by playing close attention to the details of the gift of Light needed in this world. Today, red and green circumference our world. Ether Seed of Air, Logos, The Word. ~ 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.

Today, being in the presence of the alchemy of my beloved and myself is changing the way it blends to be and to be, and only to be is the existent way of being in receivement. Let it be, let it mingle, let it be potency and require nothing else is the first step in even conjuring up a mutual harmony that can create a forever position of having. Air Seed of Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ 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.

Woke up to the need of the sparkle, the seed allowing the moments to gather as I sit and have tea. Allowing rush after rush of the intake of what this season brings in all its abundance. Most of all it lights the star of my real Self. All my life I've been told to dim the star, but finally not today. I sit in wave after wave of the ecstasy of potential, I light all the candles of the Christmas Tree I am, and I know tomorrow it will light me brighter than ever before. 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. Do not defer or delay; it is appropriate to move from the subjective world to the objective world of concretely instigating. It is 'on the cards' & 'in the cards' as an auspicious time favoring an unexpected relationship developing.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Coming forward instead of backward, holding the hand out, no longer in the pocket, but ready to open the secret drawer, where the ambitions of a lifetime are hiding out of sight. We cup up ourselves and drink from the cup of another, trusting the Grail Cup of the unexpected gift. Water Seed of Earth, Alliances. ~ 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'. 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.

Yes, geographical travel is happening and does change the perspective. I am climbing to the 2nd floor every day in our beautiful Red Thread house. Our house is magic, it employs all the needs of the world, galaxy, and universe. I have not these upper realms physically for 4 years, and as I now climb I am awakening the legs of our work to a whole new creative map for 2024. Fire Seed of Ether (Space), will be fruitful in the realms of company, personal organization, spiritual growth, and creative inspiration. Transmutation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Earth: Squaring the Circle

 'Squaring the Circle' is the mental alchemical process of transferring an Airy concept from the mental plane to the physical dimension, so the objective conception & birth become a demonstrative reality.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Each post at each corner is aware of how the round happens and it only happens if you allow it to spin, and once it starts spinning it is in control, but not necessarily yours. Your future you is ready to guide it, so trust it and let it spin, even beyond your present awareness, and let it create a whole new pattern of living. Air Seed of Earth, Squaring the Circle. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Earth Seed of Water: Boldness

"Dissatisfaction with your present circumstances can be overcome by putting a new venture into motion. Reassess your aims & situation. This is a good cycle in which to set forth boldly & energetically follow your ambitions. The Earth in conjunction with Water, is good; not too much Water, nor too little--just right!", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

 I pin the word Boldness on me, I make it who I am, the alchemy of my day. I seem to have a small reach, but a large heart for touching the world in many directions, many ways, and I find that I am making a real footprint that is boldly stepping forward and through the cracked door. Earth Seed of Water, Boldness. ~ 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 means you have sat in Potency, and as you have sat in Potency you know the terrain, and if you know the terrain you know the feel of the path, and you know where you've been, you know where you are, and from that the Potential will guide. Feel it humming in your body, feed it your Time, your allowing, your forgiving, your wide-eyed open, and you will find you already you are already floating in its fluidity. Don't worry you are on the path of assurance. Earth Seed of Fire, Potential. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Ether Seed of Earth: Gestation

"The Egg is well fertilized & has survived a prior testing phase. Soon the chick will break free & lay its own golden eggs, each a miniature Alembic. The current stress is actually a foreshadowing of successful futures.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

One of my favorites, because of the wonderful foreshadowing future. Keeps my head popping out the door, not so afraid of the shadow, more looking for the successful future. I feel like a kind of pop-up book waiting for someone to say, "Open sesame." I ate my pumpkin seeds, I think I need to add some sesame to my little mix, and of course walnut for transition always helps. The world is never nutty enough. Ether Seed of Earth, Gestation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Ether: Transformation

 "This is a 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. Change, as a noun, means the result of making something different, while Change as a verb carries the implication to make something different.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

 Beginning a day to make something different and also to be made different, quite a mouthful, even for my age. Willingness is the key, it unlocks all the doors. Intention is the foot I step through, and trust is the path I follow to sit in and achieve this alchemical position. Grateful for the path of alchemy. Air Seed of Ether, Transformation. ~ 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. 

Hatching out is not always as simple as it sounds. Some parts of you are ready and some parts are still stuck to the egg trying to loosen up, but its hard to move from home those, idea to idea, cosy spot to not so cosy. These are all part of the alchemy today, and I have been feeling it coming, so I got my foot out this morning early, so I can hear the wind, and reach across the abyss of space on the back of the wind. Ether Seed of Fire: Incubation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Fire Seed of Air: Perseverance

  "Fire and Air are natural friends & mutually interdependent. Air vitalizes & vivifies Fire, encouraging Fire to burn ever brighter & the children, flames, to leap higher. Stick-ability can be more important than ability.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

I always love this alchemical position, because it always reminds me I have something worth persevering through, and then I become encouraged to put my hand fully under it and start pulling out its most expressive part. I am a perseverer, so I begin to hang on and not fall down under. I call this the worthiness position of the alchemical process. Fire Seed of Air, Perseverance. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Earth Seed of Air: Aspiration

  "Earth congeals, coagulates, & solidifies, seeking to form a firm foundation for the enterprise. 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 a base for the future. Make certain to include all elements.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Base is coming into place and it folds neatly into a square, so it can be coaxed into place for the future. I feel the large stones being kneeled down into the foundation within me. I coax up the Water below the surface, so the Air and Earth can congeal, making sure all the elements of play needed are allowed. Earth Seed of Air, Aspiration. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Earth: Squaring the Circle

"'Squaring the Circle' is the mental alchemical process of transferring an Airy concept from the mental plane to the physical dimension, so the objective conception & birth become a demonstrative reality.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Airy concepts are hard to figure out at times, because they don't have any real numbers yet, not until they land on the square. Circling them helps, and the makeup of a dream needs the pitch to be circled, so I'm trying to hold the pitch in a circle, until I am no longer overwhelmed by the beastly currency that is needed. Squaring the Circe, Mental Alchemy. Air Seed Earth, Squaring the Circle. ~ 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.

The accompanying Imprintsial Pattern speaks to the truth of this alchemical position today. It's not so much something is wrong, but more that something is done, completed, needs more introspection to allow the new pattern to be felt, listened to, and the engaging steps to have room to begin. This space is often skipped, and the enthusiasm to begin. I am moving more slowly, but thoroughly this morning, and that takes absolute courage. Air Seed of Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ 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 started this morning with the enthusiasm I need to pick up this week and set it inside a hardy cauldron that has the power to hold, inspire me, feed me some very grounded creative ideas, so I can begin the new passage for the new year, 2024. It never waits until January, it always starts in December, where the old is laid down and the new begins to thread in. Fire Seed of Fire, Resolve. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Earth Seed of Fire: Potential

"Start and emphasize creativity. Carefully evaluate what alchemical tools and resources you have, rather than what you haven't. 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.

This alchemical position has become my creative motto. I feel so right on the spot, and my life has made the mark, so I am ready before I start. I have what I need, I have who I am, and I have who I can be, so all positions are one inside of this position, like nesting dolls, one for all and all for one. It's a trust position, hand out, need in hand. I accept, and kneel deeply into the right rudder. Earth Seed of Fire, Potential. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

 

Earth Seed of Air: Aspiration

 "Earth congeals, coagulates, & solidifies, seeking to form a firm foundation for the enterprise. 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 a base for the future. Make certain to include all elements.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

December the 2nd, good day for the new enterprise of Christmas. How  can we turn it over to the happy Ethers and fire up the stove so we can build a base for the depth of the Solstice season? How do we include the small and the large in what we give, so that no small thing is missed and no large thing is not seen?  Yes, let the aspirations begin! and don't push anyone out of the line, after all would Santa do that? Earth Seed of Air, Aspiration. ~ 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.

Being aware of calm and what it predicts can at times make one nervous. Sometimes calm is what is before the not calm and the movie industry has utilized this specifically to make us feel not safe in a space of calm, but I have come to learn in alchemy, this is not always true. Calm is a platform to sit one, be with, and learn to know what it gives to everything else in the alchemy of life. I sit in calm and listen for my breath, and that is all, everything else comes from that. Air Seed of Water, Calm. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.
