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.

Beginning our morning on the Water, first time out with kayaks this year. Start on Water, to provide the fluidity needed to work with many projects at one time. The mind thinking this is impossible at this time, must settle into a smooth breeze on the Water this morning. Flexibility, fluidity, groundedness, all provide the foundation to begin. A little sideways, but getting back upright. Earth Seed of Earth, Foundation. ~ 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 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). Injecting light heartedness & gaiety into the atmosphere will also reduce the tendency of wildfires turning into infernos.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Incubation, a treasure trove of potentiality, so it must be loved in a continuous stream of allowing. The full throttle of change is held within it, so it must be given the full compassion of space, and time must be its guardian, enthusiasm its midwife. Ether Seed of Fire, Incubation. ~ 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.

Wrapping up the past is a many layered thing, and you need many kinds of wrapping paper to do it adequately, so I'm going to do this by the seat of my pants, and use the wrapping paper as best I can. I'll let go and allow, because when one is wrapping up one's life it is always because what is coming is better. As Ether, I will use my Owl Vision to see in the dark as I go along. Earth Seed of Ether, Renewal. ~ 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.

What a delicious alchemical position for today. Up at 5, walked on the boardwalk at the ocean to watch the sunrise, the engagement between Water and Earth. I feel an earlier nature in me, like I've already begun this alchemical position. Our intuitive often knows our balance between Earth and Sky, Water and Fire, for us. It is the engagement of elements that creates the ease of allies. I make myself open to this. 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! A new dimension of satisfaction can prevail by eschewing both dependent & independent stances for relationship of interdependence & creative cooperation. Take advantage of the consanguinity of the Sun & the Moon; when the solar & lunar bodies conjoin in the East, gold & silver may be extracted from the morning dew, & mutually beneficial 'alchemical conceptions' will abound", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Today, my birthday, what a gift, the Alchemical equation of Robert and I. A bit of a bumpy early morning but now smoothing out, and the flow we have together always insures this. My partner always in balancing all the little triggers in a birthday morning, so grateful for his Air. We sip together the gold and silver dew of this day. Grateful. 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. 'Hold the rudder steady', & pleasantly interact with others, to ensure your goals are achieved.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Floating up above the lie, was the last words of this post before it got deleted, so I'm copying that down and wondering what is below, that had a problem with what is above. To take enthusiasm and use it to brighten your day is not always allowed when the world is conjuring up a fall. I am 76 tomorrow, and I am relishing myself, instead of grieving lost moments, lost years, lost beauty. I celebrate my flexibility, my enthusiasm, my effervescence, my creativity, my truth told, my steps done from what is inside. I have had 5 children and I put them first, until it was time for me to put myself first, so they would learn the way of the Soul. Yes, each day I become effervescence and float up above the lie. 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.

Opening up a new chemical page, and I realize my file box is frozen. This is a good time for Fire Seed of Water, Vaporization to unfreeze the frozen, and allow me to reach out to something new. A new idea, a new flow, a new way to flow, to unengaged the channel locks and rise me to a new level. Yes, let's begin, grateful. 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, the Ether. The current situation beckons you to courageously go outside your comfort zone, if inner growth is to be achieved.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Oops, this always happens when I consider crawling in a cave, it's like summer forcing you out of your hide-aways to get cool. That's alchemy for you, when you feel most undefined, you get defined, when you feel most not bold, you got to be bold, so I've been looking around the corner today to see what was going to boot me out of the embarrassment of my age. No comfort there so just get mixing up all those elements, and allow more room for a big breath, and say boo to yourself, so you won't be scared anymore. Engaged in daring at last. Ether Seed of Water, Daring. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Ether Seed 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. 

Space in this way is kind of a new idea for me. Travel, as seen as Space, is more dimensional and inside this alchemy I am clearing room necessary to create Space for, not only dimensional travel, but travel in this physical world. To become older and consider travel, is a little odd for me, but many layers of opening within begins to start occupying small bags, small suitcases, small purses, small feet taking bigger steps. Ether Seed of Ether (Space), Rebirth. ~ 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.

A good morning to walk by the ocean, to gather Earth and Air up into partnership. Water gently nourishing the elements of building a foundation upon our inspiration will help today with the awareness needed to inspire the foundation of the day's formational alchemical into precision. Being patient with the detail. Earth Seed of Air, Aspiration. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.
