Crystalline Enchantment ~ Crystal Guardians Come Together
The crystal guardians and their banana stand-in….our dear friend Lynne Day, whom you’ve met before in an interview I did of her and is also the sweet soul that I announced is gifting Reiki sessions toward the Nature Immersion Challenge, was so sad to not be able to join that I promised my banana (which she shares a pair to) would be center of class and this is the photo we took to send her some love!
What a week and weekend it was. I was immersed in crystalline energy and to say it was potent is an understatement. So many lovely things took place this week that have my heart in overflow.
And in contrast, there have also been some very intense things in the collective, as well as personal fields of experience.
Feather pair from Alaska
On top of that, there has been a lot of “twin energy” around recently alongside the powerful things taking place. This has been showing up a lot actually since my trip to Alaska. I remember there I found these two white feathers side by side that were a perfect matching and mirroring pair.
Shell I found Friday afternoon
The weekend after my return I found a large spiral shell on the beach – one I’ve never seen here before. It had its own symbolism, but took on another layer when Friday at the same beach I found its counterpart. More on that later.
Angelic feather pair from the beach yesterday
And yesterday at the beach I found another pair of twin white feathers, however these were very different. The first pair were more solid, very thick and strong…The second pair are so ethereal, so translucent, literally feel like liquid silk, and not only can you not feel them in your hand or between your fingers, but it is as if they are enchanted and were so sparkly white that it truly was as if they’d fallen from an angel.
With these white feathers it wasn’t as important to me from which bird they came, as it was the appearance of two nearly identical feathers being found as a pair, side by side and their quality that meant something special to me. And there has been more to this “twin energy” in dreams, experiences…all of it pointing to an integration of my own dual parts into greater wholeness, as well as speaking to an experience perhaps taking place that I have been feeling.
All of it is just so magickal to me and framed the magick of this weekend.
Some of the crystals from workshop
This past Saturday several of us gathered for the Crystal Magick and the Journey Within workshop, which was an incredible experience. All week leading up to it the energy had been building and I could feel myself emanating this fire inside that had me feeling like a furnace, just like with Reiki. I’m usually a cold person except for when I am working with things energetically, downloading, channeling, or in a very high-vibed place. There had been other enhancements to the week, but crystals definitely seemed to be the theme all around.
It was also this week, on the Full Moon Eclipse that a very significant crystal in my life had arrived at its new and dear keeper’s home. I hadn’t planned this, but it happened nonetheless. Love how stuff like that unfolds. It also happens to carry the “twin energy” and so there was the theme again.
But the workshop came together so beautifully. Always the perfect group shows up for each and it’s like a game of energetic chess that plays out to create the perfect fusion of energy. There were 5 other lovely souls that were originally joining in place of some of the people that ended up being there, but as timing and energy needs to align, so it did once again.
I know that these beautiful souls that could not make this workshop, will come together with their perfect soul group in a future workshop.
And for this one, it appears that it was meant to be a reunion of some of the core group we had together at the Reiki Renewal Retreat in March of this year over the Equinox.
Literally, only a couple of days before, I didn’t know that one of these lovelies was coming and then flew in at the last minute to finalize our group energy dynamic.
The way things miraculously worked out, I was able to host her and it all just kept turning into this amazing cohesiveness.
Yasmin (left) and me (right) at beach
I also miraculously finished my work and preparations before she arrived, which enabled us to share another reunion of me taking her to Crystal Cove where we had gone with the group on the March Retreat. I felt this would be the perfect way to ground, refresh, and invigorate for the long and energetic experience of the following day.
On our walk I found the counterpart spiral shell I made mention of before. I’d only seen the very tip – about half an inch – peeking out of the sand, but I just knew what was buried below. I went and dug it up and found my treasure. She was amazed by my “eagle eye”.
Male and female shell pair. The left is the one I found upon return from Alaska. Right is from Friday
This shell now sits next to its partner on my altar shelf. Just so beautiful!
The next day the sweet surprise for the others came when they saw her there, as I hadn’t shared with them who was coming from out of town. And so it was a lovely time for all.
Not to mention a fully packed day!! We immersed in crystal magick from 9 am – after 6 pm, then some further discussions taking us through to about 7 pm, followed by dinner to ground all that sweet enchanted and expansive energy.
I can’t even begin to explain how powerful and shifting this day was, or how it all felt and what was taking place in the seen and unseen ways. Not only did we fully discuss 55 pages worth of material etched in my heart to share with each of these beautiful souls, but we journeyed to places that will continue to awaken, activate, and remind each of who they really are, long after our day together. Much of this happens in layered and deep ways, so not all of it is made aware of at onset, will percolate, and continue to evolve.
To top it off, the workshop was co-facilitated by my partner, Joy (my rabbit companion and crystal expert), who made her first return appearance in one of my workshops since over a year! I had a feeling the crystals would call her.
And what a facilitator she was, holding the space, helping to channel with me, supporting everyone, and sending energy to all. She never left the room once. She had actually been in the room all week with me preparing it energetically. And from onset until we left the room for dinner, did she remain. Upon return, during in-depth connecting with my guest, she came to support that as well moving between both of us and then keeping watch, as well as monitoring the energy in the room, following us into my office later and not wanting my guest to go off to bed. 🙂 She was really enjoying her role on this day.
I can’t tell you how grateful and full of reverence I was for her, the crystals, and each of these courageous souls.
During workshop, Steve and I discovered we both had magickal Amethysts with hexagon sacred geometry – his cut into a hexagon and mine with an ethereal hexagon in dimensional layers inside of it. We all received that the two crystals wanted to connect, to create a channel for he and I to communicate, as well as to activate each of the crystals. So I went to get my sphere’s turtle stand and of course it fit perfectly on top of his crystal.
We had a chance to do a couple of rounds of telepathic exercises, which alongside crystal meditation, and crystal Reiki attunements, proved to really heat things up and provide some first experiences for several that reiterated their powerful gifts.
The room was filled with Elementals and Cosmic friends. Tons of downloading was taking place. And an alchemical transmutation was taking effect. Everyone was receiving a natural Crystal Attunement and a lot of love.
Crystalline energy was abound and in a room full of Crystal Guardians, it made me so soulfully happy and fulfilled to feel the deepening of our relationship with these Crystal Beings, ourselves, with each other, Earth, and Cosmos.
I told each of them how I could see as we talked, their Priest and Priestess selves and how we’d done this before together. I wanted them to see themselves and each other in this light.
And today I was able to spend some time with another beautiful and dear friend of mine taking a walk with her and her sweet dog by the Marina. I had to giggle to myself when I saw that nearly every street around the circular walk of the island was named after a crystal.
Below is a favorite song I’ve been listening to often in the past month. Coupled with the most enchanting images, this truly captures the essence of what our day on Saturday was energetically like and what was all around us.
Feeling full of love and gratitude.
Celebrating Six Years With Gaia
Gaia checking out my painting, “Air”, as I paint it in my Lake Tahoe solarium
I may not physically be with Gaia right now (my amazing Russian Tortoise friend), but am with her nonetheless in heart and celebrating “with” her regardless.
Yes, Gaia is still M.I.A. – and literally she IS “missing in action”, as she is off on another mission from which she intends to, and will only, return once she’s completed it.
I’ve shared before how determined and committed this mighty little one is – a constant guide and teacher for me in this and many regards – and so my sense is that if her mission takes all of her to complete, then she will transcend doing and being her wholeness.
How can I not love her more for that and honor and respect her immensely?
She’s been gone now, deep within Mother Earth (Gaia is within Gaia 🙂 ) for about two and a half months. She went away before to do very intensive energetic work with and in support of the Earth, but returned once that mission was complete. And now has departed again and I await her happy news of another mission accomplished, however that results.
I love her unconditionally and it’s no surprise that the souls in animal companion suits that I (and they) chose to partner up with, are all very committed souls on a mission. Sounds familiar. 😉 And their deep, focused, and unrelenting truth of heart investment into who they are, is the best example and constant reminder for me.
I’ve never known anyone like them in this way.
Anyway, I hadn’t had a dream about Gaia in a while, which is where my animal companions communicate with me, but she did show up the night before last.
I do not remember the dream anymore, like I usually do, except for the fact that it was different from the others energetically and I saw Gaia in her vibrant joy. I have two specific images of her from the dream that keep replaying in my mind from when she and I first came together and lived at Lake Tahoe. They are the images you see here.
Gaia looking out at Lake Tahoe from our home solarium, which was my office/art studio
So I know that wherever she is, she is wanting me to know that she is really happy and in her joyous truth, perhaps mission accomplished?, as well as wants to thank me and remind me of our beautiful friendship, since the images I see in my mind’s eye are from one of our favorite times ever together.
She likely is also remembering our anniversary, as where she is time is different than here and there are gaps in the sending of messages.
I believe she is reminding me of my own truth as well and the things she loves about me.
July 8th, 2008 is when she first came home with me and on the way home from picking her up, I received her name. So this is six years today that this amazing soul has graced this life I am living.
Six brings to mind the symbolism of this number and its spiritual meaning, which I’ve shared on before in my post Hexagons and Healings, since the number six is aligned with the Hexagon.
This includes six representing harmony, balance, soulful integration, perfect union, communication, sincerity, love, truth, enlightenment, naturally revealing solutions for us in a calm, unfolding manner, delicate diplomacy in sensitive matters, reliability, lighting our path in areas we require spiritual and mental balance, and encourages compassion and forgiveness.
These are perfect energies to feel into right now and so divinely reflect the relationship between Gaia and I, as well as focuses that would do the collective well to tune into and embody more.
I’m grateful for this reflection, as I celebrate the mutual love, respect, and honor shared between us. Thank you Gaia for being such a guiding light and powerful force, as well as for being so committed to supporting the Earth collective. I love you!
This Is The Big One We’ve All Been Waiting For: The Grand Sextile from Randy Bruner
If you’re interested in the energetic line-up kicking off, here’s a post from Randy Bruner on what’s all happening with the planetary aspects and what the Mayans perspective is on it. Thanks to Jenny “Yemaya” Cook for sharing it with me. As I shared with her, this may be why I have seen and been bombarded with hexagons showing up all the time (their presence bringing healing and activation) and been gifted crystals with hexagons inside and hexagon shaped crystals. This has felt very significant, which is why I did a post on it: Hexagons and Healings – Universal Symbolism to Ponder. And since that post the hexagons showing up in photos taken has increased. They show up over my body a lot too. And more crystals had found there way to me with the hexagons inside.
Indeed a ton of powerful igniting happening and with the Mercury Retrograde it has almost been like the quiet to fortify before the pow! I’ve consistently been feeling that everything has revved up and needing to be embodied and activated now, which is why I keep getting the message: “don’t worry, just trust, there’s no need for your brain to know how because you already know it at heart, just say yes when the Universe presents something, everything is possible, the new is already here, and the bottom line is love (the Universal, transcendent, unconditional kind)!”
I’ve reposted it in its entirety below, but you can also read it on Randy’s blog here: This Is The Big One We’ve All Been Waiting For: The Grand Sextile
This Is The Big One We’ve All Been Waiting For : The Grand Sextile
Planetary Aspects and Tzolkin Correspondences for the Cosmic Moon 2013
Aloha Planetary Kin: this is your Cosmic skywatcher, Randy Bruner, Blue Cosmic Hand, coming to you from 19.5° on the Big Island of Hawaii. These are epic times in which we are living and this Cosmic Moon is no exception to that. The Maya were avid skywatchers. To them the axiom “As above, so below.” was how they lived their lives. They watched the dynamic of the planets moving across the sky and lived their life accordingly. As I write this we are in the central column of the Tzolkin in the Mirror Wavespell. It is the Summer Solstice day, Yellow Spectral Star, ” I dissolve in order to beautify.” I’m finding seemingly endless order of correspondences of the planetary aspects and the Tzolkin. I will attempt to condense them for transmission to you.
This Cosmic Moon, the last of the 7 Mystic Moons, contains an awesome set of planetary movements and aspects, which correlate very closely to the Dreamspell version of the Tzolkin. The outer planets move very slowly and are already in position as the inner planets move into aspects with them. Just after Galactic Synchronization, on the 4th day of the Magnetic Moon, July 29, 2013, the planets will form an almost exact Grand Sextile. The Grand Sextile also includes two Grand Trines. These are all very positive and harmonious aspects completely surrounding the planet in a Sacred Geometric configuration. This is an awesome alignment of the planets in the solar system emcompassing the Earth in the geometry of a Stargate.
Here is an image of the astrology chart for the grand sextile. I accentuated the Grand Trine & Grand Sextile aspects to highlight their geometry.
I’ve also included an image here of the sacred geometry held by the planets of the solar system around the earth during this aspect.
Magnetic Moon 4, July 29, 2013, is the day of the Grand Sextile. It is encoded as Blue Spectral Hand, “I dissolve in order to know. Releasing healing. I seal the store of accomplishment with the spectral tone of liberation. I am guided by my own power doubled.” What an affirmation for planetary healing and upliftment. This aspect comes into play one week after the Full Moon of the Cosmic Moon, which is the last of 3 Super Moons in a row. The Super Moon is when the Full Moon falls on the day when the Moon is closest to the Earth. The Moon moves into position to create a Grand Trine with Venus and Pluto which also completes a Grand Sextile around the planet Earth. The Grand Trine with Venus, Pluto and the Moon signifies the possibility of transformation (Pluto) through the power of beauty (Venus) and love (Super Moon).
There is already a Grand Trine in place as the Moon moves in to complete the Grand Sextile. Mars conjunct Jupiter trines Saturn and Neptune. This harmonious aspect represents the possibility of our highest hopes and dreams (Neptune) being able to reclaim spirituality from religion (Jupiter) and replace materialism with abundance (Saturn). Mars is added in there to allow us to replace war with peace.
The Grand Sextile is formed from the 2 Grand Trines that we’ve already talked about. The Grand Sextile forms a 6 sided, crystalline form around the Earth with 2 interlocking triangles inside. This is the geometric form of a Stargate formed around the planet Earth by the other planets in the solar system. This is the opportunity for direct download of galactic cosmic energy.
The aspects of the Grand Sextile enhance the aspects of the Grand Trines that we already discussed. The conjunction of Jupiter and Mars is sextile to Venus, the power of beauty, on one side, and the Moon, the power of love, on the other side. This signals the opportunity for the power of love and beauty to overcome the power of war and religion. Then the planet Saturn, materialism, is sextile to Venus, power of beauty, on one side and Pluto, the planet of transformation, on the other side. This signals the power of beauty to transform materialism. Then we have the planet Neptune, the power of our highest hopes and dreams, sextile to Pluto, the planet of transformation, on one side and the Moon, the power of love, on the other side. This signifies the power of transformation to bring about our highest hopes and dreams through the power of love.
This image appears to me to be the template for an altar to utilize for the Day Out of Time, the New Year and for the day of the Grand Sextile. I’ve included the copy of the astrology chart so that you can see the positions of the planets. For the purpose of the altar I would suggest placing stones on each of the points to represent each of the planets. Through this method we will actualize the Stargate in all of our ceremonies. You can, of course, just meditate on this image if you are a solo practitioner or group of individuals not able to create an altar for yourself.
Four days before the Day Out of Time and four days after the Day Out of Time the Moon moves across the sky, forming conjunctions to the planets Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and then moving into place to take the last spot in a Grand Trine and forming the Grand Sextile. This seems to me to be a good time to hold energy and ceremonies for the transformation of humanity and the planet. I know that this is adding a lot to the Day Out of Time celebration. Stretching it out over more than a week may not be possible for many of you. But, this is the Big One we’ve all been waiting for. So, I think it is worth the effort to take the extra time to participate fully in the planetary ascension process.
It is my suggestion that we extend our celebration of the New Year from the Full Moon before through the Grand Sextile on Blue Spectral Hand day and utilize this geometric pattern for ceremonies that we perform for the Day Out of Time and leading up to the Grand Sextile. In my opinion this signals the opening of the gate for Galactic Synchronization. It is the gateway to a New World and our new future as a Galactic Culture.
Having delineated the aspects of the Grand Sextile, now we will discuss the planetary aspects and the Tzolkin correspondences in the Cosmic Moon which set the stage for it. First of all, the Cosmic Moon contains the Yellow Seed Wavespell. The Yellow Seed Wavespell contains 10 GAP days in a row. These are the GAP days for projecting into the future and allow us the opportunity to dream our future into being. So, in the Yellow Seed Wavespell, we plant the seed for our future. This, of course, prepares us for Galactic Synchronization at the beginning of the New Year, Yellow Galactic Seed.
The 1st of the 10 GAP days in a row falls on Cosmic Moon 12, July 8, 2013, and is encoded as White Electric World-Bridger, “I activate in order to equalize.” This date is also the New Moon in the Cosmic Moon of Presence. So, the New Moon, the opportunity to set up new beginnings, begins the 10 GAP days in a row dealing with the future and allowing us to dream our future into being.
The last of the 10 GAP days in a row falls on Cosmic Moon 21, July 17, 2013, and is encoded as Blue Crystal Eagle, “I dedicate in order to create.” Most of you know that the crystal tone is the tone of cooperation. This is our opportunity to cooperate in order to create a new world, a new future for ourselves and others.
On the last of the 10 GAP days in a row, Blue Crystal Eagle, Jupiter moves into a trine with Saturn and Neptune. Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune in a harmonious aspect represents the possibility of our highest hopes and dreams (Neptune) being able to reclaim spirituality from religion (Jupiter) and replace materialism with abundance (Saturn). This begins to set up what will become a Grand Trine and the Grand Sextile just after Galactic Synchronization.
Then, on Cosmic Moon 23, July 19, 2013, Red Magnetic Earth, “I unify in order to evolve.” Saturn moves into the trine with Neptune. This transforms the above aspects into a Grand Trine. It forms a triangle around the Earth in space and embraces the earth in the opportunity to evolve, since the Red Earth Wavespell bridges us over Galactic Synchronization.
We move next to Cosmic Moon 24, July 20, 2013, White Lunar Mirror, “I polarize in order to reflect.” On this date the planet Mercury moves direct and the planet Mars moves up to conjunct Jupiter and enter the Grand Trine formed by Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. Above we were talking about reclaiming religion and materialism with the energy of this Grand Trine. Now Mars is added in there, which allows us to replace war with peace. If we transform our action, the power of Mars, towards the upliftment of humanity and the Earth the Grand Trine will transform the power of Mars from the God of War to the God of Action.
The day before the Full Moon of the Cosmic Moon of Presence is Cosmic Moon 25, July 21, 2013, Blue Electric Storm, “I activate in order to catalyze.” On this day the Moon eclipses the planet Pluto. The Moon, the planet of emotion, passes in front of Pluto, the planet of transformation. This activates the power of love, our highest emotion, to bring about transformation within humanity and on the planet.
The next day is the Full Moon Day, it is Cosmic Moon 26, July 22, 2013. In the Tzolkin it is the day Yellow Self-Existing Sun. This day is also known as 4 Ahau in the traditional Mayan calendar. In the Mayan long count the date 4 Ahau is the beginning and the end of the last cycle. This acknowledges the Alpha & Omega of the grand cycles. It is also the last of 3 in a row Super Moons. The Super Moon is when the Full Moon falls on the day when the Moon is closest to the Earth. So, it is actually bigger in the sky, therefore a Super Moon. This of course means it has a greater effect on the Earth, the tides, the tectonic plates and our psyche. If we tie the power of love to the Super Moon imagine what we can do with that energy. Also on this day Mars moves up to conjunct with Jupiter. This solidifies the 1st of the Grand Trine aspects. This allows the power of love, Super Moon, to overcome the power of war, Mars, and the negative aspects of religion, Jupiter. This will, of course, bring about an ending and a new beginning in both of those areas.
On the last day of the 13 moon calendar Cosmic Moon 28, July 24, 2013, the Moon moves into conjunction with Neptune. This adds the power of love from the Super Moon to the power of our highest hopes and dreams from the planet Neptune. This ends out the cycle of the 7 Mystic Moons.
Then on the Day Out of Time, Blue Resonant Night, “I channel in order to dream.”, the Moon moves into conjunction with Chiron the healer. This allows us to channel the energy into our dream of healing the planet, which facilitates our path into Galactic Synchronization. On the New Year’s Day, Yellow Galactic Seed, “I harmonize in order to target.” We will all be gathering to celebrate and focus on bringing in and embodying the Galactic frequencies. But, there are still many more aspects yet to come and the most powerful planetary aspects are not until Magnetic Moon 4. Blue Spectral Hand.
The 2nd day of the New Year, Magnetic Moon 2, Red Solar Serpent, ” I pulse in order to survive.”, sees the Moon move into conjunction with the planet Uranus. Uranus is the planet of the lightning bolt, which brings about quick, sudden sometimes all-encompassing change. The Moon as the power of love added to the power of Uranus to bring about positive all-encompassing change very rapidly is the essence of this aspect.
It is important to note that there are some challenging aspects in this chart as well. As you can see, there are several red line aspects in the chart. These are aspects that will attempt to hold us back or bring us down. Now, more than ever, we are being asked to “rise above” the lower energies and hold a higher vision of the world. Now we must realize that it’s where we focus our energies that determine the results we get.
I hope that some of you can take the initiative to create and perform ceremonies of enlightenment around each of these aspects. Because this is the Big One we’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to step up and participate in the planetary ascension process.
Peace, Love & In Lakéch
