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 sounds so right for today, isn't intuitive alchemy just grand? It allows so much more to line up and become more comfortable before you begin, because intuitively you've already begun. Trust in your self in this process is essential in allowing yourself more freedom, extroversion, and entertainment. Breakfast in the Garden with family this morning, conversations about the upcoming main menu, gives us all more freedom, and a greater ability to hatch out of the Cosmic Egg, Ether, because we've planned a week ahead for the menu of the upcoming alchemy necessary to succeed our practice, our joy, our immersement. Peep, peep, cheep, cheep. Grateful. Ether Seed of Fire, Incubation. ~ 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 '. Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

 Change of perspective, a need for me in many small ways, that build to create the shift I need to enter this new work each day, and have it be life-altering. I travel deeply in this way, and have to be careful to ground myself, while continuing to travel forward. Eat, rest, meditate, movement, and conversation, all help me to stay safe while I work with Robert to create new patterns for the future. Grateful for the ability to receive. Fire Seed of Ether (Space), Transmutation. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Air Seed of Earth: 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. 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.

Beginning to paint outside early in the morning is this alchemy, it resonates us and quickens our speed. We are fully engaged in the transformational properties of Air Seed of Earth that conveys to us transformational patterns that allow us to tie up loose ends of world patterns, bury the past of world patterns, and enter a new phase of patterns to assist the world in this time. Air Seed of Earth, Transformation. ~ 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.

Perfect morning for Earth and Air, up at 4 am to do my Yoga, then go walk the boardwalk and take in the sunrise over the ocean. Bringing Earth and Air together and walking in breath, to console the waters within me, within this heated day. Swinging in the Garden now, to let the creative juices emulate more freely to accommodate some ease in this alchemical position. Grateful for the attunement for the alchemy to calm the forces within me for aspiration. Earth Seed  of Air, Aspiration. ~ 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.

If there has ever been day for this alchemical position, it is today. Hot, humid, and working creatively outside in the Temple Cafe, painting, drawing, writing, reading, talking, and enumerating between water bath, swing, tables, meals, all in the heat of it. Delicious for Fire Seed of Water, Vaporization. Keeping healthy by attention to these needs, in my metal chair with water dripping off of me. ~ 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.

Today, no trouble keeping the oven hot, it is more about cooling down between the levitational rises. Moonbath ready, hose next to the Temple, wearing water happy outfit, and beginning to steam up the alchemy needed today to paint, until we secure this new rhythm firmly. Grateful for the Garden Plan that makes room for us, and all our creative needs. Fire Seed of Earth, Alchemy. ~ 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.

When we think of start, we usually think of movement, but I know this morning I have to start inside, and allow myself room to move the furniture in my head, then the alchemy from that will help me begin to move everything in my outer world. It's a bit like Fox, a bit cunning to move something here that will finally move something there. Yesterday I found a beautiful Fox cup, and I think I'll sip on it and enter today from a very open backdoor that will allow me to move everything here. Wonderful Totemic, Fox, my Raven understands. Earth Seed of Earth, Foundation. ~ 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.

What hope springs forth when Space is created, especially in the creative life. Swinging, painting, writing, listening, meditating, movement, all legacies that I have learned to claim, when the ethers come together to create more Space. Space, not always easy to give oneself, but it's so necessary to live more easily. Morning Space, so essential for me. Ether Seed of Ether (Space), Rebirth. ~ 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.

I surprised myself this morning, in the most beautiful way, I went out to sit in the swing to see the morning light, and all I smelled was roses, and I thought, "Oh, at last summer is here". I don't like this heat usually anymore than anyone else, but perseverance picked me up and rolls me over into beauty. We will fill the Moonbath and let summer fill us with her alchemical cycle of new opportunities. Air Seed of Water, Calm. ~ 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.

Up early, before the stress of a heated day, calming the forces of beginnings, I meditate and move out to the swing to take in the Light and the Wisdom of generation.  I bring in the realization that this alchemical position is a way and manner of letting go, and allowing heat its reign, so the Alchemical Egg can regenerate and create change.  Ether Seed of Earth, Gestation. ~ 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.

 Stick-ability is not always a simple thing, but it is achieved daily by giving oneself time to sit for a bit with one's potency. For me, potency is my seed essence, and in the work that Robert & I do we must feed it each day, so that our stick-ability is a potent force that we use each day to persevere.  We paint today and that feeds our potency. Grateful for each other. Fire Seed of Air, Perseverance. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity. 

Ether Seed of Water: Daring

 "The Water element, as for all elements, is bounded by limitless space, Ether. Water & Earth are natural friends; Water, as an unconscious lunar archetype, symbolizes the forces within us seeking security, stability, & closeness nestling into Terra Firma.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Moving outside early this morning, to help balance myself in an alchemical passage of Daring. First off with listening and painting, realizing how daring the passage of painting is. Painting a passage of Water, instilling in one's self the opening for a new Codial Awareness, that will match the new of Daring. Opened by my art, opened by our art, opened by the passage of color moving through Water. Ether Seed of Water, Daring. ~ 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.

Over the last few years we have all had to transform and transmute many threats, but I sit in the Garden this morning and so much has settled internally, and much is beginning to transform externally as a result. The Garden for us, is beginning to finally be all the many things we dreamed for our external beingness. We see the Garden Plan as a postage stamp as to how we work with the whole world to support. Fire Seed of Ether (Space), 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.

Such an exciting position in alchemy, and you play either midwife or mother. Each position acquires for you a new life, you are like Birch birthing Birch, inventing Paper, spelling out Words. This is a spilling over alchemical position, and you become gracious within it, so I'm in the curve of a line spilling open black numbers, black words on a white background, like watching the sunrise. Air Seed of Earth, Squaring the Circle. ~ 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.

Renewal, a sweet presence in this day. Up at 1 am to do my Yoga, I could feel this presence moving in the early hours. Renewal, is a breath of new Air, folded over with sweet memories, integrating a new perspective, and assimilating the full wisdom that is ruled by Compassion. What a motionary brilliance that enters with this alchemical position. A new position needed to live life deeper and with a brilliant star. Grateful. This is what re-new-all is. Earth Seed of Ether, Renewal. ~ 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. 

Rarely I feel I am at the opposite end of an alchemical position, and I wonder why. Did I drink a wrong potion, did I forget who I really am, or did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Or was I visited by something strange last night, and it took the soul of me? I speak of it, because it is rarely spoken of. I feel maybe I was robbed of the sweet being that I often am. Worst of all it's my beloved's birthday. I am without a gift of presence, and my enthusiastic doer packed up and went on vacation. How can I shift what seems unshiftable? I'll take Rosemary tincture, and maybe she'll help me remember how to be in this alchemical time. Air Seed of Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ 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.

The future is growing out of not just this past, but many pasts, and there is more hope in it than it seems. There is a locked in awareness that originates its claim to consciousness from an original pattern that we all contain. Much of the spoken in this time does not originate from this pattern, but this pattern of love and compassion, awareness and understanding, resides within our original selves. The DNA reflects this more than we realize. Survival is more wearable now, than ever before. We are more centered as a world than can be told, but it will rise up within us in the time needed. The Supernal Nurturer is entering this time, and the alchemy is present in this day. Grateful. Air Seed of Air, Supernal Nurturer. ~ 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.

Allowing Water to float my day, waking up closer into myself, I engage the Colon of my life. How much time do I give to the digestion and assimilation of what a life of more Water can abide? Allowing more things to flow, more with all the matter of what is thought important. Allowing more room for the intimacy of Water's nature, it is able to integrate, assimilate, gestate, and meteorate your life, so your inner galactic and your outer galactic self can pulsate together. This is diplomacy. There is no clock in this interactive persuasion. Water Seed of Water, Diplomacy. ~ 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.

Today Water Seed of Air is moving through me differently, it is not so much as a jump up thing, but a basic grounded forward motion. I think maturity has changed this alchemical position in me. I reach for a fold of nurturance and it is solidly there. The enthusiastic doer within me has a solid foot forward, and I move into the timing of enthusiasm that has already sat in the seat. Water Seed of Air, Effervescence. ~ 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.

One would think that Fire and Water don't mix, but they do every day. A hot pot of soup, a nice warm bath, anger heats up the gut and all the waters in it. We are alchemy made and in the making, to engage out in the world we must engage Water then Fire, determination and Will, brilliance and beauty. The trick is what fires up our Waters as wonderful, does not necessarily fire up other's waters. There is more in what is beautiful, and it is the gift of how it feels, how it changes, and the end result of giving, and being given to. A new plan to engage myself with beauty first, and that becoming all that matters. I engage with others in their beauty in so many different ways, without judgment. Fire Seed of Water, Vaporization. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Ether Seed of Water: Daring

"The Water element, as for all elements, is bounded by limitless space, Ether. Water & Earth are natural friends; Water, as an unconscious lunar archetype, symbolizes the forces within us seeking security, stability, & closeness nestling into Terra Firma.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

 Letting Water enter the elemental force of my Etherous Raven Self, creating a calm right before wind, preparing for the leap. Breathing in the damp morning Air, making room for the moistness needed for the nestling in of new ideas and creative expression. Ether Seed of Water, Daring. ~ 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 is a perfect motto for now, and I am aware of this need every day, but today it's the alchemy of need in this very moment. So moving all the things that are moveable and waiting, that I have, I begin to mobilize them into the answers of the specific needs, maybe in an usual way, which makes it very much more alchemical, We are provided for each day, if we trust and look for a deeper thread. What an alchemical being we must be to live in this world at this time. Grateful for insight given. 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.

Sitting in the sunlight of this perspective, I open myself to a brighter vision and curiosity of an auspicious favoring an unexpected relationship developing. To start the day in this way opens me up more, and lifts me into the horizon of concretely instigating. Sounds a bit mischievous, and not exactly a usual day, mm, delicious. Water Seed of Earth, Alliances. ~ 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.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

The power of the Word, that's why I love to write, especially intuitively, because it puts everything in sync, even if I even don't understand it. Trusting deeper, faster, clearer, all part of the of details of today. It calls for sensing your heart, listening to your feelings, and then speaking from deep inside. This is the way of a true Valkyrie, and this is the way I live, and seek to live. Ether Seed of Air, Logos, The Word. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.
