Spring Equinox 2012

Mello Rye, Priestess of the Sun

The sweet, delicate balance of equinox on the cusp of Spring/Aries energy,  of inner and outer planes,  of spirit and physicalities *yes I just made that word up*,  dropped into my awareness like the fragrant scent of flowers, the growing push of unrealized dreams, hopes and communal aspirations.   Dark forces bleed out their fractious impulses all around the world, while the Light workers funnel the higher vibes into the vortex of change...The balance point is the choice point in every moment, leaning towards- or away from- the transformation, which will happen:  one way or the other.

As a true Aries gal in many ways,  waking up today was like stepping into my true self.  Powerful women face the push-back from the patriarchy in so many ways we tend to take it for granted...we give a little ground here,  we reconcile there, for the sake of 'peace'- we lose battles and ultimately the larger 'war' when we forget to claim our power.  Watch the news any day to see how our very notion of The World is couched in the dark terms of repression/oppression/control/domination ad nauseum, a dialogue created when we 'buy' this sick matrix and fall deep into its beliefs.  

Ancient teachers and healers have always alerted us to the The Mother's higher path, call it what you may.  I have been reminded deeply of Mello Rye lately,  our teacher in the 'Sun Temple' circle, who stood as a conduit, as depicted above, between Mother Earth and the wide Universal Forces 'above'...finding the link, channeling the divine energies to connect, heal, grow, glow....become free.

The transformation during times of intense change is as subtle as it is powerful....and yet every effort is lifted by our conscious connection.   Today I look at how I was guided to lay down burdens I have learned from,  and embrace new challenges in my path.   I release the stagnant scars of disempowerment and remember Who I Really Am.   Radiance.   Luminescence.  Star dust.  Sun Light.  

Today,  find your inner core, the balance point of you.   Seek to coax the essence of your soul out of hiding to infuse your daily spirit with a knowing and ...growing....into the beautiful being you are.  It is not far,  it is HERE.  May Lovely Spring bring you Her promise of all good things cracking open like seeds in the fertility of your dreams. 

Winds of Inspiration

Mother Nature has flung Her range of weather at us of late,  short stretches of cold,  sweltering summer-like temps, blustery rains;  wait 20 minutes, and it might all happen- as others experience more record-breaking storms, tornadoes, dust storms and drought...the list goes on and on.  Weather is an indicator.  Like symptoms of the body,  Mother Gaia uses weather as her regulator and expression.   Pat Robertson had it almost right about the prayer in the Midwest;  the earth is always in process of manifesting the energy within the matrix of our connections,  us with Her,  with all other life forms, within the cradle of the Cosmos.

So as I walked out the door this morning on the heels of last night's rain, and into the stiff winds,  I decided to head to the park where I knew the weather would chase off most folks.  Sure enough,  as I rounded the path,  I had the luxury of sliding into an easy gait without stress from cars and most anyone else...the solitude I always crave but seldom find.   Diana the Huntress was known for her solitary nature, taking off into the woods and finding the elements of herself apart from the pressures of life.  In recent news,  the view of those who live alone is being redefined as positive, empowering, blasting the old stereotypes of 'loneliness.'

Women, we need our space and time apart from the pressures of men and the world where definitions of who we are and why will continue to pollute our own growth process.  Never before has it been so important to protect and cultivate our power and connections with ourselves and one another.   Before you seek romance, success, material fulfillment,  go on an adventure to find yourself.   Take off into the first interesting path that calls you, where the trees open up into wide skies and stars, and the light is shimmering down to bathe you in luminescence.  Believe you are the incarnation of every huntress who found herself compelled to take off, to run, dance, sing, create, breathe life into the weary world.  When you doubt yourself the most,  that's when the impulse can be strongest.  We can never be done with the quest, and there is no 'final destination'...but the gifts of certainty and inner confidence are the reward.
