The Day Before Spring and I am cleaning up the last remaining pieces of winter out of my life. So much has happened since I last wrote,, when I transform I do it completely and with my all. The Commune here at Red Hickory Lane has increased in size by 3. My sister Anita, Butch her partner and their child Tyler have come to partake of the transformative energies that bubble up from the land and house that was created by my past ''changing of the universe''. They left Boston and arrived here on the Ides of March,,, bringing with them their issues and troubles,, which I told them to promptly leave by the roadside as this house does not entertain negativity, sloth or 'problems'. Here we TRANSFORM from within, and I have notched the Energy levels up to FULL TRANSFORM for ALL who ENTER my front door. So today, I burn the deadwood that was left by the winter of my discontent and literally have a fire in the fireplace going right now even though it is a beautiful day and warm outside. I also have a Burning Bush to plant tomorrow that will symbolize my ability to burn through the hardships without being consumed by the sorrow and strife that so many carry around in their souls and hearts each day.
Last night my two best girlfriends and I held a private ritual in my circle. It was awesome as it started and ended with laughter. We ''WIPED THE SLATE CLEAN'' and "PULLED BACK INTO OURSELVES THE THREADS THAT WE HAVE PUT OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE'' This Exercise that Heather really was just telling Rain about for her was incorporated into our Spring Solstice Start Ritual. What you do is call out your own name, full given name, magickal names, nicknames etc, and pull back all the pieces that in a lifetime we throw out (as connecting threads) to people, things, problems, EVERYTHING!! All connections are pulled inward and wrapped back into ones soul were they truly belong. The pulling in, returns to you the 'threads' that may hold you back and connected to things that you need not be connected to any longer. We took it a step further by doing it with ALL of our LIVES, on ALL LEVELS, removing the connecting threads that Karmic Ties BIND. It was very potent and the energy was palatable and actually was able to be seen by us as wisps of smokelike threads pouring in from all directions and collecting over our heads in the circle. We pulled the fine web into our selves and sealed ourselves and '''Wiped"" the Slate CLEAN. The whole ritual was full of laughter and joy which we reclaimed as our divine birthrites. Rain brought up the Movie "Nell" with Jody Foster and we laughed as we quoted parts of the movie to incorporate it into our ritual. She also was made to remember a Star Trek episode that involved ''geek'' aliens who said, " We are Strong, and We Make Things GO!!'' and as corny as that all sounds, one of the most powerful moments in my life occured.
I Became WHOLE.
The Energy and Voice of Gaia came through Heather and and she returned to us the gift of innocence. We were like New Born Babes, and she washed the after birth from our bodies with pure love.
In an instant I understood it all,, I guess you could say that I had a moment of Cosmic Consciousness overshadow my normal mind and I spoke to 'Gaia' the words: "It is ALL as it should BE NOW" and she answered, "It has always been SO".
So simple, yet so complex.
We laughed, giggled and danced for a while knowing that we would close the circle and return to the Mundane world.
I returned with ALL MY THREADS INTACT.
Now I will choose Wisely were my Energy will be directed.
Now I will remember that I am an Eternal Spirit having a Material Experience with this Life.
Now I will Choose JOY over Sorrow.
Now I will Bless instead of Curse.
NOW I WILL BE LOVE.
NOW I REMEMBER WHO I AM
NOW I WILL BE PRESENT IN THIS MOMENT WHOLE AND AT PEACE.
