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.

 Sitting with Boldness, letting it roll out and gather courage. I am not the woman I used to be, I am so much more. I now do things powerfully, just by listening, moving, and doing, without even knowing why, because knowing sometimes takes a very big chair that I can hardly reach, so I get out a ladder and climb up, and sit there and grow into its awesomeness. Somethings take only a few minutes, somethings take hours, and days, and some chairs are so big, it takes years to know and understand. I feel like Goldilocks, with chairs all over that I sit in day after day, seeing which one has the nestialness ready. Boldness, this is a very big chair I sit into. Earth Seed of Water, Boldness. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

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.

The ability to adjust, and even flip a situation, takes the fluidity and the absolute strength of Water. To flip something over at the end of its process is easier, so it's best to wait, and allow it to begin to flip itself. This is diplomacy with Time. I'm Fire, and a bit impatient, so I often have to remind myself of this way of seeing. Today I feel a million things, but I definitely need Diplomacy, so I must negotiate gently, patiently, lovely, with my own Self, and her wonderful Fire ideas. Water Seed of Water, Diplomacy. ~ 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.

This is the alchemy of the love story, Krull. It begins of an exchange of Watery Fire and Fiery Water of two lovers, and the Vaporization that was created was the surrender of their elements to each other. I see this day as that story within me, and I am starting to feel this radiant love story within myself, no part left out. Within  the Vaporization, all elements raise up and are merged into a fully occupied Being. Fire Seed of Water, Vaporization. ~ 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.

 What happens when you carry it with you, what is the Airy concept that your wings spring from and how willing are you to fall into your answers without control? This is a raptor dive, but it is the only one that will create rapture. Some may think that you are always falling down, but actually you are landing, and the circle of your contentment is squared. Let the box contain you until your feathers are poking out, and like a new chick, you have outgrown the shell, and your new idea is grounded and real. Air Seed of Earth, Squaring the Circle. ~ 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.

 Woke up into a new perspective, more magical than I think I've ever had before, where everything in my life comes together, as if it's all part of one thing, and that I live in a layered world of magic. In my world of many things, I have finally found how they are all connected inside this Red House, with all its Red Threads murmurings, with all these Red Threads, catching and weaving worlds behind worlds, like a magical space that knows itself, even better than I. Today, I open its doors, Enter, and find the meaning of everything in my life. I am transformed, finally, Enter the Key of who I really am. I finally found that magic is what unlocks me. Open Sesame. Fire Seed of Ether (Space), Transmutation. ~ 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.

This alchemical Position started in the night, and I was surprised at its determined will. Feel I had become a ramming horn, and even though my mother's maiden name was Ramser, I didn't know I had inherited such a female ram's horn. I do ram at the wall a bit, till I can hear better. Robert and I are moving into a very rich Celtic inherent work for this year, and there is a bit of ramming through required, in order to get the flow open. We talked of it in the night and it has helped build our resolve. Fire Seed of Fire, Resolve. ~ 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.

 Warm sunshine, that's what I alchemically have today, the potential I have to create with today. Breakfast in the sun, on the sun porch, taking a small walk in the sun at mid-day, looking into the potential that sun rises within me. I am a sun sign, so I respond. Small sips of fresh squeezed grapefruit, small walk with gloves, head bare, 20 minutes, isn't that the time for almost everything? Yes, the Dragon is starting to rise in me , and the Gold begins to shed new light, an alchemical Golden Egg. Let's sit around it and keep it warm. 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.

Rising up as Fire, being rumbled too much by Earth and Air as camouflage, so hesitant if this is a good phase for starting a base for the future. All needs to settle down in the underworld of the before. I use my Dragon Fire to hurl up and out blockages, so I can begin. Yes, it does take a Dragon from time to time to settle the underworld, so it can begin to hold the weight of a new pattern for the future. I'm a bit blown out, but now I can begin. Earth Seed of Air, Aspiration. ~ 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.

When we are in the alchemical position to get more Air into our flow, we must prepare special moments, for breath of enthusiasm. This will take a little more awareness and time, but these breaths take out exhaustion that complicates the flow. Hard to sometimes remember, so mark it down somewhere, this breath, so full of enthusiasm and take it, stick it on your desk, stick it on your hand, put it up on the wall, now, you have all you need traveling in your hand. 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.

Woke up inside this alchemical position, softly making my way through my ordinary daily genre, and watching it for clues and what patterns I am trying to change in my life. Staying close to this, signals usually begin to show up, in how I see things, and how I build things, and in what give me true joy. There are small nuances, when you begin to build from a past equation, but it starts not to fit. One small dream last night, very unusual, creatively enticing, open to how it fits in. Air Seed of Ether: Transformation. ~ 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.

Water Seed of Earth is relationshipily defining in this alchemical meeting. There is an immersement of Water into the soil, so that a potent change in events can startle the calming into a rise. Each characterized nature of these elements begins to read differently the outcome, and creates a new seed of potential. Water Seed of Earth, Alliances. ~ 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.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

What a beautiful Situla, vessel that holds, this alchemical position is. I always feel embraced by it, and encouraged to reach for the sky, which is actually rather rare. We are so often cautioned to not reach too far beyond ourselves, and it takes all of our enthusiastic doer and indealistic conceiver to live beyond this caution. Buckle up, things might get a bit fast here. That is the thrill. Air Seed of Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ 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.

 Well it's obvious I have been affected by Ether Seed of Fire already. I am tardy for this blog, and now sipping hot cocoa while I try to make amends, so I'm alchemically now blended and exact. You have to trust those little erring ways more and more if you are to accomplish this hatching out. Here, I am not such a tidy unerring breather, but one who does not mind peeping out at the wrong time at all the layers. That gives me potential of something worth hatching out of the Cosmic Egg. 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.

 Feeling the pattern running under my feet, I feel a slight shift of direction, and the alchemy of Fire Seed of Earth pitches a warmth into me. I need to consume more slowly, chew more deeply, and allow more numbers between the swallows. The corrugation begins with my willingness to include more support into my day, but sit, take a deep breath, and wait a little longer, then run through the thread freely. Fire Seed of Earth, Alchemy. ~ 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

This requires listening to the curve, the one you just made, as Air Seed of Ether. It's different, it wasn't just how you saw it, but it is the right direction. It will be different than you thought, because it will be more of what you felt, and the feeling will raise this up, and create the depth and intensity you desire to make it great. Air Seed of Ether, Transformation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Water Seed of Water: Diplomacy

"Water, sometimes described as the universal solvent, is the feminine power of cooperation opposed to masculine competition. All Water flows, washes, adapts, & brings nurturing respite to the arid wastelands of our lives. When this symbol is drawn it behooves us to remember that some problems can best be 'solved' by being' dissolved' gently, & subsequently 'absolved'. Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Woke up in the feeling for the need of flow. I seem to be faster than I knew I could manage. Water Seed of Water may be gentle but sometimes it's fast flowing, and I don't feel I have a boat big enough for my enthusiasm. This is when I need my Yoga, my morning meditation, and time just marches on, and I must render myself to accept the timing within timing. Water Seed of Water will miss nothing, and I must surrender to its timing. Water Seed of Water, Diplomacy. ~ 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.

Coming up to the top of the Ethers, vaporization begins. The Fire of an urgent idea plunging into Water, cooling off to seal the Soul into its new position. Positions of expression are harder to come by, and they take more heat, determination, and a calculating force, that can heal any past hesitation. 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.

Walking today, to feel and smell the wind, the sun, and the marks of this day, Alchemical. I will ride on the back of Bear, to feel like a fairytale. My Bear beloved, always knows how to lead the way, so I can curl into the abundance of more freedom, extroversion, and entertainment of my own expression. Ether Seed ofFire, Incubation. ~ 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.

Alliances, a very auspicious alchemical position, and very rarely be done without. So what moves with Water has to be absorbed by Earth, so the Earth can grow a rich crop of seedial potential. We're in a time for much need of Alliance of Earth, Air, and Water, and these beginning stages of new ground. There is much stirring of the pot between these three, and they must come into alliance, in order to clear the world of old patterns, without destroying it. We have been watching, feeling, not so much understanding why their mix is essential for an Alliance with Fire. With Air you stir up the pot of Earth, you align the Water to soak in, and then you add the Seed of Fire for the whole alchemy of growth in the new year, without you starve. Water Seed of Earth, Alliances. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Earth Seed of Earth: Foundation

 "Earth Seed of Earth is the terminus of the involutionary chain & therefore the commencement point of the evolutionary chain, climbing back to the stars. 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.

Key Alchemical position, because when you get to Start, that means you have started a long time ago, and you are almost finished. We are never aware at the tiniest moment that we begin, because it is not a part of awareness yet. When we listen intuitively we are willing to work in the dark, and that is the safest place for the beginning of anything. A baby begins in the dark, and is mostly formed by the time you realize fully. This is the secret of the Alchemical Egg, so now when you get Start, I know that most is ready to move easily. Do not underestimate your time in the dark, I have learned not to. Earth Seed of Earth, Foundation. ~ 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.

Woke up with this alchemical need, and intuitively started doing all my morning practices to make me feel strong and clear, then as I began to enter the work of today, I was very well aware of the need to persevere. Each thing that I began to move had a complexity to it, and then the need to persevere became vastly clear. Small things that you rely on, the ease of moving through. The digital process of our work became changed, and had little allowance for ease, so I have to move into it new requirements and persevere through the loss of ease. I am so grateful to know this alchemical position, and the alchemy it requires. Fire Seed of Air, Perseverance. ~ 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, what a delicious place to be when you are sitting in Alchemy together. Giving this space time, and the recognition of the Clarity of each other, you can trust to sit inside of questions and answers with the positivity of exact. You listen deeper, with less doubt, and more recognition for ht potency of each other. What a fun day this will be with this awareness in hand. Air Seed of Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ 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.

When I do this, and this alchemical position locks in, life is so much more fun, and the equations meet each other in the center, and I get a Squared Perspective. Love the beauty of the alchemical process, it will never take you astray. It might be uncomfortable at times, but you meet the mark, and all moves forward more easily. Earth Seed ofFire, Potential. ~ 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.

I feel this even in my bones this morning, and when feelings go to the bones means you fully have integrated this alchemical position. You are then ready to build with it. Follow the bones, the bones of what you already constructed in a project that is now ready to build upon and will hold the weight of your desires. Take a breath, and step on the plank of built potentiality. I'm a Raven, and I do know Ether, it is Time. Ether Seed of Ether (Space), Rebirth. ~ 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.

Air and Fire, a very dragonistic affair with the elemental alchemy needed in a wide-winged alchemy of spirits. There is much enthusiasm in the doing of bringing Gold to the forefront. What seems hidden in the world must be fired and dreamed of in many layers of fine thin gold. It is such a fine thin melding that one sometimes forgets that gold has been re-enacted from the daily life, in this life becomes sometimes forgotten of the thin peeling layers of Gold that it is enacted from. Air Seed Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ 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. 

We finished creating two Alchemical Calendars for 2024 that will help us set forth boldly and energetically go into the future. This is a wonderful practice, where your future self can help you venture into motion your dreams beyond the present circumstances. This prophesying to yourself gives you a foothold into the future you need. So grateful today to print and order them for our home. Earth Seed of Water, Boldness. ~ 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.

Whether Earth and Air collaborate of not, they stir up the stillness of each, and create a conversation in their mixing, till up the Earth and Air is mixed in and there is a conversation with the seed and there is room for new greening, and the sprouting of new life. Their combination is a greening of the wick in our earthen world. 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.

So often things are up and down, like Air and Water, and we feel something is wrong, but actually it is only the alchemy needed. Allowing the Alchemy to flow more easily inside us, we permit cycles to roll-over and change our life in ways we have asked for. There is some fear in this process, but it is not real, the feelings are just different, and that is part of the alchemy of change and rolling over into a new and better cycle. Rolling over today, over and, over, and over. Air Seed of Water, Calm. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.
