We continue through the brambles of the land of the Black Moon, an underworld of shifting shapes and shadows. Our companions are on high alert. They are fierce warriors, each of them. Mars is skilled in all of the arts of war. Uranus wields the strike force of lightning to shock and stun. Pluto reduces to dust and captures the essence.
Our benefactor Kali follows alongside us, empowering the band of brothers, this force of the sacred masculine.
Suddenly Kali’s head jerks to the side and we all stop cold. Her gaze is focused off in the distance. She is listening. The powerful wizard Sabaoth and the great Goddess Sophia are sending a message, she tells us.
Sabaoth, the Gnostic name for the Sun, is at peak power for its solar cycle. Today, Sabaoth and Sophia, the Gnostic name for the Earth, come to us quietly but with booming strength. A lot will happen over the next few days in the world at large and our individual lives. We are entangled in a lot of ways. From one perspective the energy looks treacherous, but from another perspective we see the myriad of connections and possibilities forming new ways of living life, new ways of doing things, new ways of thinking, and new ways of being. This is called transformation and we are deeply in the throes of one.
Like most spiritual seekers I had a very stormy childhood. For me this manifested largely as a feeling of being ‘unseen’ and ‘worthless’. This led to an unconscious need to be ‘perfect’ before speaking or acting. I took piano lessons and remember that if I made a mistake when playing a homework piece for my teacher I would go right back to the beginning. This same behaviour repeated itself in many ways as I grew into adulthood.
