The Priest/ess[/caption]
I invite you to join me in the temple of the Priest/ess, the Keeper of the Keys, and the Guardian of the Mysteries. Her temple is her Holy Being, her Holy Presence. The Priest/ess is the feminine archetype of stillness/silence, and centered presence. She is the keeper of the keys because only from that space of inner stillness can divine knowing actually flow. In her passion to enter more deeply into the Mystery, s/he becomes devoted to the spiritual path. Thus the way of the Priest/ess is the way of devotion.....Devotion to the divine unfoldment of the soul lotus blossoming within each of us. In this mythic journey s/he acknowledges and empowers through offering the lit lamp of her Being, that others may see themselves and their journey with more clarity. Through intuition and feeling she is a guide into unseen realms and dimensions. S/he assists others in accessing the intelligence of their own intuition, their innate female receptivity. In these states, she can become a translator of abstract symbols into personal guidance; becoming an oracle or a channel.
Through primary focus of consciousness in stillness and silence, the power of the divine presence is naturally accessed and conveyed. In this way, the Priest/ess is the Keeper of the keys and the guardian of the Mysteries.
The Priest/ess signals us that we are at a critical junction in our journey. We are standing at a crossroad. In this time we need to center our awareness so that we may be guided from a place of balance. We each are holding a key to the mysteries. What is the key that you are holding at this moment? What do you need to align or harmonize in order to remember the answer that part of you already knows?
When I asked the Oracle what would be the energy for this October Moon she gave me the Priest/ess card of Equanimity. The definition for equanimity is mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, esp. in a difficult situation. She accepts the good and the bad with equanimity.
At this turn of the wheel as we move through the Fall Equinox Sept. 23, we will be entering into a new cycle that is inviting us to go within as we shed the leaves of past or leaving the past behind. We are also entering into as new cycle on the Mayan Timeline of consciousness as we begin the last "day" of the 9th wave which leads us to the completion of the 5000 year galactic cycle of consciousness on October 28th, according to some Mayan scholars. The new moon on Sept. 27 is in Libra, which is calling us into a time of balance, harmony, and justice. This dynamic is intensified by it's arrival soon after the Fall Equinox. All of the signs and symbols of this time are pointing us to find this balance within.
This is a call for all Planetary Priest/ess to Return and Remember the power that is within.
Remember stillness is a magnet that draws more chaotic energy into coherent patterns.Retreat inward, no matter what the environment is like; with ingenuity you can create the quiet Equanimity of your inner landscape.Relax into the knowing that everything that is created in the external is first created as a thought on the internal.Remember that silence and stillness is not wasted time.Surrender to this silent, empty canvas on which you can consciously create this new world.
Allow yourself to be drawn out of your personal focus by the wild events of the outer world and be drawn into the transpersonal and transmit the new higher frequencies of Love, Peace, and Unity.
In Equanimity, I find balance, and from the place of Presence I offer my Holy Being in devotion. In the name of the One it is Done!
Blessed Be! Priestess of the Beauty Way
