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.

Speaking through the caving in process of Water, as it yields my mind into a more fluid position. I allow my body to rush on through overwhelm, and become settled in the pool below. Permission is what is needed now. Pushing away the have-to's, instead floating on the question "What is it I really do want now?" Ether Seed of Water, Daring. ~ 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.

Sitting in the beginning of a new project getting ready to start. Many weeks with collaborating with life to find the thread, and then all the parts started coming out of the walls and drawers and dreaming, all located here now at the beginning, so, so glad to start. Be patient with start, it does not always mean now. Earth Seed of Earth, Foundation. ~ 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.

This alchemical position is like a love note to my day. Deep journey last night, quite difficult, but finally slept deeply, beautifully, and this is the day's motion. Alchemy is magical, not always easy, but much predictable in its momentum of change, and these changes brings many gifts, that we couldn't even imagine the night before. So grateful to the Divine for a process within. our wholeness that always comes to more. Water Seed of Earth, Alliances. ~ 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 young woman sat with a multi-dimensional piece of fibered Awareness that we had done in black and white, and called it bold. I thought boldness was more foreign to me, and I didn't like it when it came up in the alchemical equational position, but now I realize boldness is in all the black and white of my life: birth, before birth, writing on paper, paper on writing, images drawn out into perspective. Wow, that is now boldness for me; words , images, feelings, ideas, all drawn and written out to bring bold into the world. I am okay with that now. New perspective, new venture in motion. Earth Seed of Water, Boldness. ~ 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 rich alchemical position for today, I don't think I love anything better than taking what I have and making it what I need, or taking what I need and making it what I have. When asked there is always an answer to every question. Asking is the alchemist's tool, and the receiving is the result. Earth Seed of Fire, Potential. ~ Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.

Fire Seed of Ether: 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.

Transformational, transmutational is a power of the work I do, so Alchemy must be realized fully each day's I sit into the reality and power of the consciousness of our alchemical process. This position today is so full of hope, realization, thankfulness, and the forgiving of a spirit such as I. Fire Seed of Ether, Transmutation. ~ 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. 

Sitting inside this alchemical equation, I feel the stretch between past and future sits here today as we become thankful for all that we are, have been, and will be. Going forward requires a shoe, a soul, and a foot, so I intend to be grateful where I have been, where I will be, and where I am now. Air Seed Air, Supernal Nurturer. ~ 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. Efforts should be redirected towards building solid bridges of communication & empathy.", Dr. John Mumford, Magical Tattwas.

Perfect alchemy for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. This is pretty much of what today is and the end result of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is part of the Fall to Winter passage, this passage is best done in groups, so they can stabilize each other, as they pass over into the hibernation of Winter, and the deep sleep needed to bring back the Light for the next year. We sing, we dream, and we make merry inside, so the new Light will want to come and stay, like a new Alchemical Child. Water Seed of Ether, Synergy. ~ 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.

Sitting inside the circle of calm that the night has created, I remember my choices to now allow the cycle to roll over. Old habits, old fears, no longer deep, allowed to sort through the summer and fall. Congratulating myself that I have allowed most to explain themselves to me, and this creates perseverance. No tiny little thing swept under the rug. The large has become small, so it now fits in my life like a meadow. Air Seed of Water, Calm. ~ 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.

In this alchemical position everything must be included, the highs and lows, the smalls and large, the seeds and the seedless, all to make the accounting life more deserved and prominent of its understanding. How deeply we are seeded is the real story. Earth Seed of Ether, Renewal. ~Raven Su.Sane, Clarity.
