To say this is a ‘big day’ does an injustice to the magnitude of the word ‘cosmic.’
The very moment of the Winter Solstice, 6:11 am my local time, I was on top of my mountain in Costa Rica. My daily ritual routine was shaken up by a preoccupation with a toy – a round pentacle of wood, with a screw in the center of the compass points so I could measure the angle of the shadow of the sunrise. It takes a year to make a good sundial, and I thought it poetic to start my measurements today. Having the implements to juggle caused me some distraction, and changed the normal order of my morning rituals.
This was, of course, an unexpected advantage.
For those of you who like to geek out about this sort of thing, here was the order of my rituals today:
- Qabalistic Cross
- LBRP
- I skipped the Archangel Michael clearing – it allowed me to remain connected with the noosphere, without excluding any connections as they were happening.
- I also did not face the quarters with each ritual – I performed them all to the East, with the rising sun.
- I chanted the holy name of each chakra one time, to work up the channel.
- Tree breathing.
- I got lost for a bit, so I used the fourfold breath and the qabalistic cross to return to center.
- Strong grounding cord. I knew I was about to go out into deep space.
- Walking down the Tree of Life. Kether was extremely powerful. I started there and came down the Tree, embedding the energy in Malkuth.
- The Middle Pillar and Vibratory Formula combined.
This is where improvisation and intuition guided me into the magical working.
After I invoked each God-name into the sphere, chanting and visualizing the flaming letters, I used the Sign of the Enterer to cast the sephira into the Sun, and up the Tree of Life, to its proper place in the cosmos.
- Kether – EHIEH – I invoked the energy from the center of the galaxy into EHIEH once again, lit a sprig of sage, and wound it around my head as I chanted. This crown of smoke became infused with the power of the God-name I was invoking into it. After chanting 6-8 times, I cast it away using the Sign of the Enterer. It went through the Sun and into the Center of the Galaxy. The alignment of Earth, Sun, and the Center of the Milky Way galaxy is what the end of the Mayan Calendar was all about. The definitive marking point when the Age of Aquarius begins. After the sephira charged with the energy in this place, drawing power from the Unmanifest, I invoked it back down the Macrocosmic Tree along the Path of the Arrow. As the energy came down into my own crown, I was overcome. I nearly fell down. My senses were shaken, and I stabilized myself with the Fourfold Breath.
- This overabundance, surplus, fountain of energy, I drew down into Da’ath, and chanted YHVH ELOHIM. I visualized the lavender sphere with flaming letters, drawing power from the sephira above, and then I cast it out through the sun, but not so far as the galactic core. This flaming sphere rested in the Akashic Records, drawing knowledge and power into it. I then invoked it back into me, using the Sign of Silence to hold it there. Again, more shaking of my limbs.
- Drawing the energy down further, into my heart center, I invoked YHVH ALOAH VA DA’ATH and felt the energies grow here. I cast it up into the Sun itself, but no further. It drew energy from the eternal flame of the star. As I drew the sephirah back into Tiphareth, I felt the flame come down my central channel and rest in my heart.
- I urged it a bit lower, into Yesod, and chanted SHADDAI EL CHAI. When I cast it up it did not make it to the sun, but slipped behind the Veil, and drew in the power of the imagination. It came back down my spine and into the base, pulsing with energy. I found my footing, brought the energy down to my feet, and invoked Malkuth.
- ADONAI HA’ARETZ is the God-name here, and I felt manifestation crystallizing in the sphere I imagined burning beneath my feet. This went up through my whole Middle Pillar, up into the Sun, crashing through the Veil, through the Hall of Knowledge, and into the center of the galaxy. When it reached the singularity at the core, behind which there is Nothing, I invoked the energy of the Unmanifest into the Sphere of Manifestation.
AIN SOF AUR
AIN SOF
AIN
I chanted the Holy Names of Nuit, invoking that far-off cosmic core into the Sphere of Malkuth, and I drew it back into me.
When it returned, it brought something with it.
It was there, in Malkuth, in the sphere beneath my feet. I explored it, hesitantly. It was a ball of grey-purple energy, smooth and formless. I examined it for a moment cautiously, and pondered what it could be, considering the mechanics of how it came to me.
Then I realized: it is a wish.
This energy was pure Unmanifest, brought from the Center of the Galaxy on the Winter Solstice which marks the transition of the ages. And I had it sequestered beneath my feet.
What should I wish for?
The proverbial genie had just popped out of the bottle, and as entranced as I was, I knew I must make my wish immediately, or risk losing the sphere of Unmanifest among the different planes of consciousness.
I quickly reviewed all the areas of my life. I am happy and content in areas of health, love, environment, work, and joy.
The only thing I don’t have in overabundance is money.
At random, I selected a large number that was both believable and felt epic, felt worthy of a wish. I wished for six million dollars.
I saw a stack of cash quickly materialize in the Sphere of the Unmanifest under my feet, and the color of the sphere turned clear. It rapidly grew in size to encompass the 500-foot sphere of my aura, and the image of cash grew with it, to fill the entire auric space. Then the bubble gently popped, and the image dissolved.
My energy centers were once again glowing normally on the Astral Plane. And I had just made a wish.
This wish may have been given to me for the payment of a very good deed, which I agreed to participate in when I felt the call.
Around me, in the Ether, there was a web of light being woven around the globe. In preparation for whatever may happen today, Lightworkers around the world stepped up together, put our hands on one another shoulders, and said, ‘We’ve got this.’
We will protect the Earth today.
Situated as I am, out in the mountains of Central America, sheltered from the interaction and confusion of largely populated areas, I have the unique opportunity and privilege to hold the light for the world today.
I vowed to ignore any events that were happening today, and focus instead on my own powerful contribution to the world.
In my imagination, I looked around, in the Great White Brotherhood of Light, and felt my peers around me, making similar dedications for this day.
We’ve got this.
I am protecting the world, and I am honored to be a part of this honor guard.
I send you this message, because you are friend enough for me to privately share this aspect of my life with you; and because you may have felt the call, too. If you help the Light this day, know that I am your far-off brother, holding the Light with you.
As I walked down the mountain, I marveled at the majestic views. I felt the fairies riding birds around me, and I realized (with some surprise) that the Veil between the worlds was thinner than I had ever experienced it.
Is that what today is about? I wondered. Is the Veil coming down for good? Are we reuniting with the World of Faery?
Time will tell. My senses may have only been so heightened because of the working I had just completed; the Veil still seems low to me now, as I write this midday.
It is time for me to make my noon observation, and draw a shadow on the sundial I will complete next year.
