Water Seed of Ether: Synergy

 "Water Seed of Ether: Synergy, presages a coming cycle of enthusiasm followed by a temporary plateau (allowing recuperation & regrouping) & then a sudden growth spurt, ending with a conclusive settlement. What ever you can do or dream, you can. Boldness has Genius, Power, & Magic in it.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Moving everything inside and out, for a new planetary fold. I now lay out a more direct way to enter our work each day. Getting to the count at the same time together, we embark on a  streaming relationship with our new work. Grateful for the boldness that has genius, power, and magic in it. Up early straight out to the studio, coffee and small portable breakfast. Staying inside the conversation that is direct to our work, with all ears open. Grateful. Water Seed of Ether, Synergy. ~ 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.

As a Fire sign, waking up into a double alchemy fire, is a bit of a crispy ascent, up late swinging in the garden, visited by night birds makes the morning more pitching. So whatever this day is gong to be, there is going to be enthusiasm and resolve, and the 'dancing as a verb' is not yet available, so I need a boost, so my feet are starting to push up. Alchemy, what an eventful way to engage life. Fire Seed of Fire, Resolve. ~ Raven Su.Same, 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. 

The day tries to close in early, and I take a deep breath and start moving out; out into my ideas, out into the meaning of my ideas, out into the potentiality and potency of my new ideas. I sit into the wonder of their reach. What new did they call me to see, what old do I need to drop, so I can Begin? Maybe it's disappointment, maybe its loss, and non-recognition. They don't have much mileage in them. I try to move around the curve, and I am rewarded with a new constancy I need. Ether Seed of Ether (Space): Rebirth. ~ 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.

Sunny morning, walking toward's the sea, new world of creativity beginning, and it makes my body hum. Remembering the balance, I ask to be partnered by Gaia in this day completely, in this I will be able to climb over the slump of age today. Earth Seed of Water, Boldness. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Earth Seed of Ether: 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.

This alchemical position is a Shem for me, when I seem to be moving many things in my life at the same time, and get a bit overwhelmed with 20 directions at once. So grateful the Alembic Egg is about ready to set out into this world. The excitement of it all is exhilarating, but I have to get my ducks of self-care all in a row, and include them in this rumbling time, especially if I am the chick of the Alembic Egg, that is getting ready to break free. Earth Seed of Ether, Gestation. ~ 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.

Keeping the wholeness of myself more inserted into this day, so that perseverance can be an embodiment I can hold. I think of perseverance as a nice cosy gown that I can move about in, that asks little, so that the stress is profoundly less, because there is less pulling on you. To persevere I must lessen the pull of tension and let go of tomorrow, because today is enough. I am not a weather woman, so I cannot predict tomorrow as well as I can be in today. 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.

This alchemy has taught me how to use what I have over and over again. Throughout the year it pops up from place to place, and I have learned that most of what I need I already have. The Garden is that kind of space for us, it's an eclectic garden that everything grows out of, most is used and old, and used again. I love this way of thinking, because it renews the young in me that I need as I grow older. To pull up through Gaia, my youth each day is a wizard's way and increases the beauty in me each alchemical day. Earth Seed of Fire, Potential. ~ 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.

Robert & I exchange this position daily, sometimes I am the receiver and sometimes he's the doer, but it is always enthusiastic. I am so grateful. It's rare that two people can live in this exchange and cross over into the other. Enthusiasm is often can of rare in this world, but we stay in this kind of conversation every day, and especially when this alchemy is needed, as today. We sat outside for breakfast, and because today is what it is we exchanged this to get a balance, and not afraid of raising and lowering our Fire with the breath with our enthusiasm, new ideas, all before coming into to write this blog. Good day for the crossing of bridges. 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.

I'm starting to feel a bit like a roofer, the way of my Robert and my grandfather, climbing up and down the chimney and roof, I bridge over with one ladder to the rooftop of the chimney next door. Next door being the future. I am learning to balance myself in the two-way stretch, from past to present, present to future, and future to past. This is the alchemy of the every day life, and it cannot be skipped, so get a rope, strap it around your legs, so if you fall you won't hit the bottom, but instead, swing over the abyss and reach a safe future. Grateful for this balance inherited and married to. Air Seed of Air, Supernal Nurturer. ~ 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.

Coming out of a very stationary pattern, I begin to see more movement running through this stationary pattern. It holds me up in joy, because I have longed to feel the vitality and enthusiasm. I can actually feel the distance of getting from here to there, as joyful and exciting. I can grasp hold of the future gift, and begin to unwrap its ribbony energy of support. From here to there is a great distance, more than one would think, and yet, it holds me safe and ready. Fire Seed of Earth, Alchemy. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.
