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.

My physical activity has much increased with Sprint, and the ability to climb over, bend down, squat, lift are all a bit rusty, so as I breathe in with the Fire of my nature, I remember this stick-ability is more important than ability, and I give myself a rest from time to time, and allow my Sacred Self to guide me more through than my physical animation, and the Garden is getting done beautifully. We both sit in our swing and look at the amazing Mayapples. Fire Seed of Air, Perseverance. ~ 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.

Paracelsus, one of my favorites, I call on him often to help me understand the alchemical process, and this part of my imaginational alchemical support system. In this, I imagine all things can come if you call them to your self with love. Ideas, potentizing at the right time, in the right place, spilling open the new alchemical seed. It's quite an adventure, like Anne of Avonlea, if you just dare to imagine it. Sitting in the potency of Foundation today. Earth Seed of Earth, Foundation. ~ 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.

 Introspection, a lovely state of being, very much part of painting and receiving the touchstones of the day that begins to revolutionize the very thought of you, as it heats up with its enthusiastic ideas of permission, granting room for Fire and Air too create enough Mutual Harmony to push you forward into the level you've been waiting for. This is this day for me. Air Seed of Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ 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.

 Earth and Air meet each morning for me, in my sacred movement, in the alchemy of intentional Aspiration. We learn to bring yogic movement into our creative life, as a language we make resonant our creative enthusiastic self with our grounded preservation. I cannot be my creative enthusiastic breath without my grounded stance. Creativity demands more of this than any other gesture I make, and this I must always remember. Putting Castor Oil, Arnica, and Frankincense on my feet to insure a full groundedness. Earth Seed of Air, Aspiration. ~ 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.

A bold stroke, a bold thought, a bold rhythm, a bold initiative, a bold dream, a bold mark, a bold word, and we begin. We begin to become bolder and bolder each days we build a bolder new plan. Earth Seed of Water, Boldness. ~ 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.

Oracling into and from the inner wrinkles of this time, that renews and ages you from every direction. The full position of the course of Will is determined to transform, and I must catch hold of the wind, and blow with the house, like Dorothy into the new Oz of Dorothy's travel. Air Seed of Earth, Transformation. ~ 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.

In the center of our Square Tree Temple Garden is a circle of blooming May Apples, and a circular table with Marissa, the Dakini Goddess of Abundance. I sit in the red swing, in the entrance temple, and ask to Square the Circle in my life, so that clarity and abundance become a demonstrative reality. Air Seed of Earth, Squaring the Circle. ~ 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.

Always knowing that I always have, has been a huge process of remembering over all these years, but in this, I can switch from above to below, from inside to outside, from a round to square, from pyramidal to octavial, yes there is always a geomatric path that the Mother puts into my hands, and I work with the mold of it. Heat, heat, realization, occupation, mobilization, and most of all recognition. From inside of painting to outside of writing, I work with the weather of the day. Grateful. Earth Seed of Fire, Potential. ~ 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.

 Enthusiasm, one of my most favorite states of being, I feel it always serves me and others. I give it most freely, because I love to brighten the heart of hope, endurance, confidence, recognition. Recognition, one of the keys of the 10 of 10. It's the one that moves everything into completion and wholeness. I need this too, today, so I will take advantage of this sparkling nature and paint, and paint, and paint, coloring my world with enthusiasm. Water Seed of Air, Enthusiasm. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

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.
