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.

Vaporization is very much on the agenda for this hot summer day. You need to go outside in the heat for its full maturation. Heat up with new ideas, and then cool out into Watery Fire, rotating back and forth will acclimate you to this alchemical position. You build with Fire, you cool with Water, and you build again, this is also tempering the creation. We sit outside in the heat, paint and write, and then cool off in the Moonbath, over and over again, and we dissolve what's in our way. Alchemy, a beautiful way to see one's life and parts with purpose. Fire Seed of Water, Vaporization. ~ 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.

 Sitting within the Oracle of this Alchemical Position, I feel encouraged, lifted up, and able to step over to the Words of my time. The Words built inside the Profound Will that I occupy, because of the past alchemies that I have seen through. Profound Will is the result, and it holds me firmly inside the Logos. Grateful for language. 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.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Getting up and out early, to join our Fire and Air, to create a mutual harmony for today's needs. We so look forward to a day of this alchemical position, we breathe it in, and conjure it up into a caldron that is worth continuing. Grateful for our work in this time. The Garden is in mutual harmony with its wildness and contoured brilliance. Air Seed of Fire, Mutual Harmony. ~ 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.

I find this so often that it mystifies me, and I worry that maybe I am too enthusiastic for too many things. I try to tone down my starriness, but it just pops out again. It gets me up early in the morning, but sometimes hard to put to sleep. I do realize when the settling begins and I have learned to sit into it, so I can ground lol the beautiful ways.

So I am at the water today, the perfect place to be when you have effervescence in your alchemy. Water Seed of Air, Effervescence. ~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.

 At present we are erecting a new infrastructure in the body of our visionary work. Hung four pieces of art inside the living room, which we call the Galaxy. Now finishing a larger piece to nurture the Seed. Sundays are pretty open days, but this morning much is being lined up at breakfast where we gather to eat, and create a menu that will support the work of consciousness that we focus on this week. Nurturing the Seed. Earth Seed of Fire, Potential. ~ 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 this alchemy is the process of creativity, bringing the etheric into the physical is a definite process, and the alchemy within it is critical. It's so easy to leave it in the ethers, but it's so necessary to ground it here, especially in our work with Imprintation, that works with the physical eye and its abundant archives. Air Seed of Earth, Squaring the Circle. ~ 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.

The foundation of my day is Gaia. I sit in the garden to paint, to meditate, to work with the flowers, got harvest herbs, basil and thyme, sage and parsley, all these oils, fragrances, mixed with the earth, and then mixed with our work, our painting, our writing, the digital frequency of new patterns, wind, sacred movement, and constancy move this alchemical day into the treasure it is, foundation. 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.

 Such rich encouragement for today, so many times manna for these times, for stick-ability is the fuel you move on. As Fire and Air, Robert & I know, as we stick together, we will always find our way through, and this is the deepest blessing within our love. Stick to it, if you have no reason, stick to it if you need compassion, stick to it if you want a better tomorrow, that is what we know as Clarity. Fire Seed of Air, Perseverance. ~ 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.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas. "What ever you can do or dream, you can. Boldness has Genius, Power, & Magic in it.", J.W. Goethe.

Feeling this water cool blue boldness, allowing the acceptance to deeply sink into this day. Dropping the white flag in essence, so I have room for boldness, and what it gives to my sanctuary life. Boldness, sometimes is merely making room for what dares to enter, like Water. Water Seed of Ether, Synergy. ~ 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.

 Boldness, a tricky word this time of year, but in Maine it's a little easier to manage. You must be aware of how far to safely press yourself on these kind of summer days. I am dressed for the water, I work outside at a cool table and allow Boldness to enter with a nice hose nearby to cool off when needed. Without these comforts Boldness is dangerous, because you become unaware of the press you allow it to make on your physical and emotional body, so I square out, dress for water and heat, but allow my body to paint Boldly forward.
