12 Kings 19: 9-13. "The King of Cush."

Cush is the southernmost territory named in the Torah. In concert with the common Hebrew particle כ (ke; as if, like), the name would mean As If He Were Weak.

And then there is the root ישה (yshh; meaning uncertain), which yields the noun תושה (tushiya), meaning wisdom, sound knowledge, which would yield the meaning of Cush as As If He Were Getting Smarter. Tirhakah, King of Cush means "beastly, but betting better."

As we near the end of the Second Book of Kings, Cush must surely be the case. Recall before we go on that Sennacherib, the King of Assyria, the level headed ones is the Burning Bush itself.

9 Now Sennacherib received a report that Tirhakah, the king of Cush,[a] was marching out to fight against him. So he again sent messengers to Hezekiah with this word:

10 “Say to Hezekiah king of Judah: Do not let the god you depend on deceive you when he says, ‘Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.’ 11 Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries, destroying them completely. And will you be delivered?

12 Did the gods of the nations that were destroyed by my predecessors deliver them—the gods of Gozan, Harran, Rezeph and the people of Eden who were in Tel Assar?

13 Where is the king of Hamath or the king of Arpad? Where are the kings of Lair, Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivvah?”

The King of Cush says the law givers are destroying countries. Countries or races refer to the Tribes and Clans of Israel that were falling prey to lawlessness and then to brutality without much intelligent management, called Gevurah and Chesed in between.

Without might and benevolence together, societies fall prey to weird rules like we see in heavily orthodox nations like Afghanistan, Iran, parts of Israel, and much of America that want to pop its nose into a hymnal holy book and then go cut people's nads off with a hot monkey plumber's wrench.

We don't to subsume or annihilate the skills named in the Twelve Tribes or the 70 Clans only force them work together effortlessly.

There is a contest between gods and the Disciplines named above that apparently resolves the issue. Gods in Judaism are allowed provided we use them as stair steps to the God of Israel called Ha Shem, "the All Knowing." Michael and Gabriel, for example are gods that aid us in the proper worship of the One God. We certainly would not resort to the Hindu god, Kubera, the toadlike god of greed for this. Him, we avoid. Simply put, gods must not get in the way, but if they help, then they are considered consecrated objects and are allowed. Jesus Christ, a form of the Formless is a good example. Certainly we would not consider Jesus to be a stumbling block on the way to the Altar of the Most High. As the National God, He represents Grace and the utmost in philanthropy.

Sennecharib said he destroyed a number of petty national gods in order to bring unity to the area. Translated and Numbered they are:

v. 9: The King of Cush was marching: the Value in Gematria is 9359, טגהט‎, taghat, "you will grow."

v. 10-11: Surely you have heard...the Value in Gematria is 14341, ידגדא‎, "you will fish and understand."

v. 12: The gods that were destroyed:

Gozan= racism, that runs through Habor the "team."

The verb חבר (habar) means to bind, join or team up. Nouns חבר (heber) and חברה (hebra) mean company or association. Adjective or noun חבר (haber) means united or associate. Noun חבר (habbar), meaning business associate.

Noun חברת (haberet) literally means that what is joined (curtains, one's wife). Noun מחברת (mahberet) means a thing joined or place of joining. Noun מחברה (mehabbera) describes a binder or clamp.

Nouns חבורה (habbura), חברה (habbura or habra) and חברברה (habarbura) mean stripe or mark. How these words express binding isn't immediately clear, but perhaps the most ancient symbols arose from people claiming items and locations for themselves or their tribes.

Harran= to be burnt

The noun הר (har) is the Bible's common word for mountain or hill. Intuition dictates that the root of the word for mountain probably has to do with being elevated, but that's not correct. In Hebrew thought, a mountain is not something that's high but rather a lot of something gathered. And so, a mountain became synonymous for a large but centralized group of people (Jeremiah 51:25), or even gods (Isaiah 14:13).

The obviously related verb הרה (hera) means to be or become pregnant. An association with the previous noun is obvious, although not because the stomach of a pregnant woman resembles a mountain.

The Bible depicts nations as individual women even more than as mountains; the words אמה ('umma), meaning people and אם ('em), meaning mother are closely related. A pregnant woman is to her husband what a conceiving nation is to its deity.

Rezeph= in sequence

The people of Eden who were in Tel Assar=

The verb תלל (talal) means to accumulate or repeatedly cover over, and that in a destructive sense. Noun תל (tel) describes an artificial mound of many layers of destruction and rebuilding. Such mounds would obviously be found on desirable and contended locations. Quite telling, the derived verb התל (hatal) means to mock a person. Noun התלים (hatulim) means mockery.

Verb ישר (yashar) means to be straight or level. Adjective ישר (yashar) means right or upright. Nouns ישר (yosher), ישרה (yeshara) and מישר (meshar) mean uprightness or straightness. Noun מישור (mishor) describes a level place or plain.

Verb אשר ('ashar) covers a decisive progression or a setting right, and is often applied to describe happiness and prosperity (right on!). This is not due to a curious coincidence but to the obvious correlation of righteousness and efficiency.

Righteousness in the Biblical sense describes a solid grasp of natural law, which leads to high levels of technology, social liquidity and thus peace and prosperity.

So in order, from Number 1 to Number 13, the God of Law and Order dethreads the River of Racism from the Team of Racists, a nasty, revolting this idea has become, and says "go back to the drawing board and find your way, the right way, this time."

The Value in Gematria is 9715, טז‎א‎ה, eleven. The eleventh letter of the alef-beis is the kaf.5

The design of the kaf can perhaps be described as a pipe bent in two places. The concept of bending oneself represents submission to a greater force and entity—the King of all kings, A-lmighty G‑d.

v. 13:

The king of Hamath=to protect or surround

The king of Arpad= to be stripped of an old standard and protected by a new one

Adjectives ערירי ('ariri) and ערער ('ar'ar) mean stripped, childless or destitute. Noun מערה (me'ara) literally means "place of being stripped" and is the Bible's common word for cave.

The verb פדה (pada) describes a letting go of an old standard (say, phonetic spelling) and assuming a new one (standardized spelling). The new standard may appear more restrictive at a personal level but it allows a much greater precision and thus basin of exchange and thus liberty at the collective level.

This verb speaks of an individual price paid for collective freedom and is as such often translated as to ransom or redeem. In the stories of the Bible, the old standard often appears as captor or abductor or slave-driving task master.

The kings of Lair=masculine noun סך (sok), meaning thicket or lair from where a lion would lay in wait to pounce on a prey (Psalm 10:9, Jeremiah 25:38).

Sepharvaim= to enumerate

The root ספר (spr) has to do with information technology: the efficient storage, retrieval and sharing of data. Long before fiction and recreational reading was a thing, record keeping was mostly a mathematical and economic enterprise, mostly conducted by specialized priests.

The invention of the alphabet made writing easy and elevated every common man to the priestly level, and allowed everybody to study whatever they wanted. This allowed a deluge of original thought to enter collective consciousness, which in turn raised the level of human diversity, and thus complexity and thus cultural bliss.

Noun ספר (seper) denotes any kind of record, historical records, legal documents, prophetic messages, and so on.

Noun ספרה (sipra) means book or a bundled collection of records. Denominative verb ספר (sapar) means to write or produce a ספר (seper): to carefully observe, to recount, to record.

Noun ספר (sopor) or ספור (sopor) means scribe; someone who produces a ספר (seper). Noun ספר (separ) means census. Noun ספרה (sepora) means number, sum or amount. And noun מספר (mispar) means number.

Hena=The verb חנן (hanan) shows up all over the Semitic language spectrum in meanings from to grant a favor, to be gracious and to favor. In Arabic this verb means to feel sympathy or compassion.

Ivvah=overturns

Meaning Overturned, Ruined Etymology. From the verb עוה ('awa), to bend or twist. Related names • Via עוה ('awa): Ai, Avith, Avva, Avvim, Ebal, Iim, Ijon, Iye-abarim.

The Value in Gematria is 6011, ו‎אֶפֶסאא, "and Ephesus." The New World.

Here in prosaic format is the magic secret formula sauce for a successful kingdom that has a little bit of racism in it. Racism is the downfall of all great cultures and men. It must be rooted out and destroyed.

Racism leads to slavery, poverty, genocide, war, violence and creates hell on earth, which must bear a close resemblance to heaven as naturally as possible.

First comes the law, and law enforcement. Perpetrators of racism and hate are unbundled from the rest, they are exterminated to the last man. The culture will resist the purge but eventually it will recognize it is being upgraded to a new standard of life that has many benefits. Then law enforcers must wait like lions in their dens and pounce on racists and kill them the second they surface.

In tandem with killing racists and ridding the world of their scourge, the King and the Prince and the Assembly must enact normal ordinary acts of decency and kindness and use them to buffer the onslaught against the cruel and criminal.

Law enforcement on this planet leaves the vulnerable bare, and protects foul disgusting men like Donald Trump and the Republicans, scum and shit every last one of them. The Melachim says they must be overthrown and dealt with. Once this overturn is done, Ha Shem promises a new world, Ephsesus, the one we are waiting for will dawn.

Archangels in Judaism

Photo Source

Disclaimer: I am working under my personal theology that G!d created angels to act as messengers and ministers in this world - they are devoid of free will unlike humans, they are not gendered, and they are everywhere. There are aggadot that angels beckon grass to grow, or in some modern terms, gravity is an angel - doing G!d's will. Judaism is an over 3,000 years old tradition and there are as many texts to back up my thoughts as there are to refute them. Hence why I am clarifying my perspective.

What are archangels?

The word archangel is Greek, meaning “chief messenger/principal messenger.” Archangels are a class of princely Angels with authority over heavenly realms, earthly nations, or other angels. The term “archangel” does not actually exist in Jewish literature until almost modern times. Instead, it is a default translation for several Hebrew angelic terms such as Irinim (Watcher), Sar (Prince/Archon), or Sharet (Ministering angel). (Dennis 75)

There are many different types of angels, each one tasked with a specific mission and function. Some angels are created for one specific task, and upon completion of the task, they cease to exist. Other angels, after completing their task, may be given another one to do. This is the case with the angels we refer to as ministers or archangels. (Chabad) One key thing to note is their lack of free will - they cannot go against Hashem's will.

Who are the archangels?

Within Jewish literature, there is technically 6 or 7 (or even 10) talked about in total, but the ones that are written the most on are Michael, Rafael, Gavriel, and Uriel. These four are the ones I will be talking about. I will go over correspondences to them (elements, sefirot, domains, etc) for each one, and then I will suggest one traditional way they can be called on for protection.

Michael

Sefirah - Chesed (Lovingkindness/Mercy) Element - Spirit Water Direction - South Wind - Wind of Seeing G!d Throne - Right of G!d Metal - Silver Animal - Human Quality - Cleansing Attribute - Reflection/Compassion Tribe - Reuben Soul Level - Ruach (Emotional Being) Realm - Yetzirah/World of Feeling Biblical Figures - Sarah, Avraham

Gavriel

Sefirah - Gevurah (Boundaries/Severity) Element - Spirit Fire Direction - East Wind - Wind of Balance and Counsel Throne - Left of G!d Metal - Gold Animal - Lion Quality - Shining Attribute - Balance/Strength and Courage Tribe - Judah Soul Level - Chayah (Divine Spark) Realm - Atzilut/World of Transcendence Biblical Figures - Rivkah, Yitzchak

Uriel

Sefirah - Tiferet (Balance/Beauty) Element - Spirit Air Direction - North Wind - Wind of G!d Throne - Front of G!d Metal - Bronze Animal - Eagle Quality - Shining Attribute - Illumination Tribe - Dan Soul Level - Neshama (Mind-Soul) Realm - Briah/World of Thinking Biblical Figures - Leah and Yaakov

Rafael

Sefirah - Yesod (Truth/Foundation) Element - Spirit Earth Metal - Iron Direction - West Wind - Wind of Wisdom and Understanding Throne - Back of G!d Animal - Bull Quality - Merging Attribute - Healing and Tending Tribe - Ephraim Soul Level - Nefesh (Life-Force) Realm - Assiyah/World of Action Biblical Figures - Rakhel and David

Protection from Angels

One of the main ways the angels are invoked is the prayer said in the krias Shema, where we call on the four archangels to protect us within the night.

Photo Source There is also a history in 1st-4th CE that Jews in Rome and Greece would engage in adjuration, calling on angels for selfish means. This is considered to be working against G!d's will, as angels have very specific tasks and they are not supposed to deviate from that plan. Hekhalot literature has a lot of this magic, I personally see this type of magic as against my theology but that's between you and G!d.

Point the wand at the Angel-Evoking Seal (+ means ring the bells),

(+++) “I conjure thee, Raphael, in the name of the 24 Elders, in the name of the 9 choirs to which you belong, O Angel!

I conjure thee in the name of the Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Dominations, Principles, Powers, Virtues, Cherubim and Seraphim.

In the name of the 4 Mysterious Powers which carry the Throne of the Most High, and who have eyes before and behind; in the name of all that contributes to our salvation!

I conjure thee, Spirit of Light, in the Name of the True God, the God of Life! In the name of the 7 Mysterious Candlesticks in the right hand of God! In the name of the 7 Churches of Asia! In the name of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.

I conjure thee by Heaven and Earth, by Sun and Moon, by Day and Night, by all that exists and all the Virtues therein encompassed; by the 4 Primordial Elements; by all which may be said or thought by the Sovereign Creator, through His Supreme Will and the Celestial Court in which He reigns, through Him who has produced all from nothing; through the Glorious Phalanxes to which you belong; through the Saints, through all those who, night and day, endlessly cry:

‘Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts. All of Heaven and Earth are full of Thy Glory. Glory be to Thee, O Lord Most High.’

I conjure thee, Illuminating Intelligence, Messenger of Light! I conjure thee in the name of Uriel, guardian of the North! I conjure thee in the name of Raphael, guardian of the East! I conjure thee in the name of Michael, guardian of the South! I conjure in the name of Gabriel, guardian of the West!

I conjure thee, O invisible yet Immanent Power, and I conjure thee through the Redoubtable Power of the Lord’s Name; through the Glory this Divine Name, manifested in the World, where the most beautiful attribute of God find expression.

I conjure and implore thee, O Raphael in the name of these Attributes! May you quite the Celestial abode at the call of their syllables!

May you deign, O Illuminating Power, when they are invoked, to descend to this place, there to instruct thine Unworthy Servant.

I conjure thee in the name of Adonai Melech, Master of the Realm of Form! I conjure thee in the name of Shaddai, Mirror of Truth! I conjure thee in the name of Hod, Lord and Master of the Divine Words! I conjure thee in the name of Netzach, Sovereign Essence of Glory! I conjure thee in the name of Tiphereth, Realm of Beauty! I conjure thee in the name of Gevurah, Principle of Infinite Justice! I conjure thee in the name of Chesed, Divine Mercy! I conjure thee in the name of Binah, Place of Structure! I conjure thee in the name of Chokmah, Uncreated Wisdom! I conjure thee in the name of Kether, the Horizon of Eternity! I conjure thee, O Celestial Teacher, in the Name of the Tetragrammaton! In the Name of Eyeh! I cojure thee in the Name of Elohim! I conjure thee in the Name of Eloah!

May it be thus in the Name of the Lord.

I implore thee O Celestial Angel, in memory of the 7 Colored Rainbow, which appeared in the skies, so showing the Covenant between God and Noah the Patriarch!

I conjure thee in memory of the Luminous Cloud which surrounded the Ark of the Covenant, so showing the Covenant between the Eternal One and the Sons of Abraham.

I conjure thee, Celestial Powers, in memory of the Signs which thou had appear in the skies, shortly before the destruction of the Temple!

I conjure thee, O Spirit of Light and Truth, in memory of the signs which accompanied the birth of the Savior, in memory of the Hallelujahs in the valleys of Bethlehem, in memory of thy message to the shepherds, in memory of the Blazing Star which guided the Mages!

May thy Sign be to me the symbol of protection which thou grants to this divine ritual! I implore thee, O Celestial Angel, in memory of the Signs which thou transmitted to the Apostles!

Descend, O Spirit of Light, to show thy agreement and thine aid!” (+++)

Hold your hands up int the sky holding the wand and proclaim,

“Archangel Raphael imbue this talisman with thy Gifts. In this hour that comes so rarely let this talisman do all the things that correspond to you: heal, reveal occult secrets, prophesy, make me industrious, give me eloquence and success, a strong memory, wisdom, help with my self-improvement, and attract riches to me!”

Pull down the Mercurial/Raphael energy into the talisman by drawing the wand your left hand down to pointing at the talisman. See a ball of energy surrounding it – the core of the ball blue and the outside orange. To bind the energy to the talisman vibrate “IMBUO” 9 times while still pointing at the talisman. Once done make the Sign of the Cross over the talisman and say, “Sic Fiat!” Stomp left foot.

Now you will bless the space with fire and water once again. Starting from the East say, “blessings to the East! Thanks to all the goodly spirits of the air!” (Do this for every direction and element). If you are performing the ritual with someone censor the smoke and sprinkle the Holy Water at the same time, but if alone censor first and then sprinkle the Holy water making a circle twice. You should say the consecration when you are censoring with smoke.

Walk around the altar 9 times counter-clockwise and recite Psalms 147:1-3 with your head bowed and hands in prayer,

…or…

Now license all Spirits to depart,

“In the name of Adonai, the Eternal and Everlasting One, let each Heavenly Being return to thy designation; let there be peace between us and be ready to come when you are called again.”

Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram and then the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram.

Close the ritual space by saying, “in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit our work is done. May all be at peace. Amen.” You may then collect your talisman.

Keep the talisman on you. If it is a parchment talisman be careful not to fold it. This is a very special talisman because of the rarity of the celestial event this monday.

POWERS/ABILITIES:

🜐MERCURY

In alchemy, Mercury represents one of the Earth's three principal substances. The alchemist believed that mercury was the core of all the metals and that the correct combination of mercury with the other metals would lead to the creation of gold. In regard to its property of mobility, it is also known as quicksilver. The Roman God, Mercury shares the name with the planet as he is associated with speed and was the messenger of Gods. Spiritually, it's associated to new ideas and intelligence.

🜜 IRON

is used in alchemy, but is also found within the human body - In the blood. You can heat the iron to boiling, or increase it up to 10–20 mg. Ingestion of more than 50 mg/kg of elemental iron are associated with severe toxicity. In alchemy, Mars represents the metal iron which is known for its endurance and strength. The planet gets its name from the Roman God of War and represents his spear and shield. In metallurgy, iron was used to make war weapons and hence was considered very important. Spiritually, Mars represents the divine cycle of life and death.

♄ SATURN

In alchemy, Saturn represents the metal lead, the glyph imitates the scythe of Saturn, the god of the harvest and time. Alchemists believed that lead was the prima matera which represented the putrid factor essential for a new life. Spiritually, it symbolizes order in chaos.

♃ JUPITER

In alchemy, Jupiter represents the metal Tin. The planet gets its name from mythological Roman King of Gods. The astronomical symbol looks like the Greek letter - zeta which has numerical value of seven that represents perfection. Alchemists believed its symbolic to the balance and harmony between hot and cold elements. Spiritually, it represents growth, renewal and transition.

ARSENIC

This is a notorious poisonous metalloid that has three allotropic forms; yellow, black and grey. Arsenic and its compounds are used as pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and various alloys. The elemental alchemy symbol arsenic was used for medicinal and magical cures.

Words around the array: Yesod, Daath, Gevurah, and Chokmah, all words on the tree of life.

She keeps the circle on the tip of her parasol, in the middle of her day-gloves, and around her neck. I feel like the design need a little work.. Maybe with more writing, or actual phrases. Or even something on the sides. As for what her alchemy can do, it's pretty intense and any use of it will probably be kept under a read-more because it is Not-Nice.

USES

It can melt the skin, the bones, the eyes - boil the blood and rot the insides. It's all very witchy-evil. She mostly uses her alchemy and knowledge of the human body to further her research into organically transmuted human parts and organs. And she thinks it looks pretty.

#🜎 | know that the alchemist has power over the stars and not the stars over him. | alchemy #i wanted a bigger post of her transmutation circles #it took SO LONG to really put her symbols together and im really proud of it

i made the first version of these gifs back in january, but could never quite work out how to visually capture the symbolism of vic's positioning the way i wanted to. i still want to talk about it, though, hence this word dump.

A NOTE: when you study literature, it's an occupational hazard to find patterns of meaning everywhere. one of the things i love about longmire is that it explicitly deals with visual and narrative metaphors and parallels, which makes it a rich source for more abstract interrogation via symbolism and mythology (cf mythopoesis). if you have difficulty with contemporary systems of religion being regarded as mythology and used as lenses through which to interpret a text then you're probably gonna hate this, so maybe don't read any farther.

And who are the Officers? We learned that there are three. Strength (Gevurah) is the Officer of all the Holy Forms to the left of the Blessed Holy One. He is Gabriel.

— The Bahir

on gabriel:

Gabriel is fire

Gabriel is gold (the color of fire)

Gabriel is the messenger of God, who executes God's will on earth

Gabriel frequently acts as God's instrument

— source

and:

In the Midrash, Michael is called the “prince of kindness (chessed) and water” and Gabriel “the prince of severity (gevurah) and fire.” Thus, Angel Michael is dispatched on missions that are expressions of G‑d's kindness, and Gabriel on those that are expressions of G‑d's severity and judgment.

— source

on gevurah:

Literally, and in its biblical usage, the word gevurah refers to that which makes the hero (gibbor) a hero.

In some cases, gevurah is also associated with the angel of salvation (Isa 63:9) or with the time or figure of messianic redemption (Isa 33:13, Isa 28:5-6, Isa. 11:2).

— source

and:

Gevurah is "the essence of judgment (DIN) and limitation", and corresponds to awe and the element of fire.

Gevurah is understood as God's mode of punishing the wicked and judging humanity in general. It is the foundation of stringency, absolute adherence to the letter of the law, and strict meting out of justice.

— source

so, i mean, i could write a damn good paper discussing the parallel elements and functions of gabriel ⟺ god / vic ⟺ walt (/ valkyrie ⟺ odin), but i could not figure out how to communicate it within the confines of these images. very frustratung.

(slightly tangential, but there's also an interesting section in chapter 7 of Mirror of His Beauty: Feminine Images of God from the Bible to the Early Kabbalah by Peter Schäfer that talks about how the principles of love/mercy (michael) and judgement/justice (gabriel) fight with each other and have to be mediated by truth (uriel). additionally, gabriel, fire, and evil are all identified with the left side of god, indicating that evil itself originates in god from the same source as judgement/justice/strength. if you extend the metaphor out, you can see walt's descent into vengeful fury (evil) flowing from the pathways of his more honourable principles (justice/strength), which then swings us back around to vic (gabriel) and salvation/redemption. fuck yeah this is my jam.)

#longmire #vic moretti #walt longmire #my childhood indoctrination sure comes in handy for literary purposes #i live for this stuff #longmire thoughts

Themes: Judgment, boundaries, quiet meditation, knowledge and deepening spiritually and as a teacher and spiritual student

Gevurah, Left hand + Judgment

The fifth Emanation. The hand that separates. The rule of law that brings order to the world. Gevurah assesses what is just, helping us overcome our adversaries both without and within. Hers is the power to cleave apart a unified whole and leave its component pieces. It is a trait that commands as much fear as respect because with it comes an inherent violence. She does this without enmity--it is an act that must be committed to create balance. The red orb exists as a boundary, closed to the unworthy. Gevurah’s position at the center of its pillar defines that pillar’s trait of severity. Her push against Chesed, on the opposite side of the Tree, is met with equal and opposite resistance. Without both of them in equal measure, we have no means of maintaining healthy relationships. We must have judgment to discern what is healthy for us, so that we can bring it into our lives and embrace it.

The Listener, sacred silence

How much have you missed because I could not have the space, the wild quiet, the blessed peace in which to whisper my secret straight to your soul? How much more could you be aware of it you simply took the time to be still and silent? The whole world can be heard in a moment...and now it is your time to be still, and to be silent. Listen and truly understand what it is you are hearing. Listen with your being, your entire being, not just your ears. Allow your senses to be the soul’s messengers. Sometimes we need to be quiet and listen. But first of all we need to be quiet. So many people talk so much of the time. And the talking and the talking and the filling up of space simply drowns out the messages. The Dragonfae do not decry conversation and robust dialogue, the joyous clash of friends talking with each other, or the singing out of voices...especially when raised in joy, celebration, song, and good cheer! But this card speaks of a time when it would be right for you to be still, and to listen, as the world whispers her secrets to you. We do not want to be making so much noise that we drown out our own signs and messages. So be still. Be silent. And be ready for the messages to come in sweet, subtle, and magickal ways.

The Hierophant

A masked figure holds the flame of knowledge and beckons you into a mysterious inner sanctum. The hierophant is known as the high priest in some decks. He represents established social structures and spiritual traditions. He is a source of knowledge outside us, and teaches us what can be learned by word and by example. If the Hierophant has appeared in your reading, you may be feeling a need for a deeper sense of meaning in your life. You feel a call to learn and to be a part of something, whether that something is a group of people, an established institution, or a spiritual practice.

*taken from each deck's companion book. The meanings for me were personal and recorded elsewhere. But I figured this might resonate with others as well*

Weekly Reading: 08/19 - 08/26

August 19 - August 26

To The Collective

I really want to focus on the Sun and the Moon this week. The Sun moves into Virgo on the 23rd and there is a Full Moon in Pisces on Sunday the 26th. Usually, these posts run from Sunday to Saturday, but I really wanted you guys to have this Full Moon in mind as you go through your week.

The Sun shifting into Virgo on the 23rd of August is where we start to lose that feeling of Summer fun and start to ground back down and get back to work. There's going to be a lot more structure to things, we're going to crave that structure now after all these eclipses. People are starting to go back to school, those that take the Summers off of work to travel are getting back into their routines. Everything is just going to be more stable and more in line with getting things done or at least planning on getting things done.

The Full Moon in Pisces will be at opposition to the Sun in Virgo. This is a great opportunity to really balance these two influences. Balance the Sun and the Moon, balance Virgo and Pisces. You have your conscious and your sub/unconscious mind, as well as your more grounded and structured day-to-day life and your spiritual connections that go beyond the physical. Applying a simple routine, or integrating spiritual practices into your routine will really help level things out for some of you.

I, for example, am planning on working in focus meditations for the seven chakras, one for every day of the week, starting on Sunday with the Full Moon. I also plan on doing more research on things that I've channeled because I've been called out by my Guides for not knowing shit, so... yeah, I'mma get on that.

As you go through your week it would be good to stay mindful of yourself and really ask yourself where you need that balance and where you need that structure, so that you can then set the intention and apply it during the Pisces Full Moon.

These really do not have to be huge things for people. I feel like a lot of you might still be in the mindset that spirituality has to be this huge thing, it has to be like going to church, it has to be like reciting the written word constantly. That’s chill for some people, but it’s not for everyone. It is your spirituality, it is your connection, you decide how it is structured. You decide what you need and what is within your means to do and practice. You can simply decide to incorporate more spell/energy work into your daily life by pouring intentions into your morning coffee, you can set aside 5 minutes during your lunch break to close your eyes and breath. You can also set aside a day to do ritual work or make plans to join a group of people with similar interests or beliefs and practice through that connection. If having awareness of things makes you feel connected, just do some research on topics of your interests. Look into Gods and Goddesses, or look into physics and psychology.

It can be whatever it is that you need it to be. Keep in mind that what YOU need it to be is so much more important than what other people need it to be. You can't look to other people and be like, "they have what I want, so I need to do exactly what they do." That's not going to help you. Those other people have what they have because they aligned with what THEY needed to do in order to get THEMSELVES there, and you have to do the same. Yes, it takes a while to figure it all out, but when you do you'll be standing on solid ground that you built up for yourself and the steps that you take from there will be more than confident.

This week I decided to channel the energy that will be there between the Full Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo on the 26th of August and have delivered messages for all 12 signs below the cut, along with full explanations of the cards above.

Enjoy your week, everyone!

Co-Create + Flexible

This has more to do with alignment with outside energies. This is asking some of you to literally be more flexible, don't fight the changes that are coming your way, allow yourself to bend and even break so that you can be put somewhere new. These transitions that we are experiencing can be very unnerving, they can be disappointing in the sense that we have to let certain things and certain people go, but it is all necessary in order for you to be where you need to be. Always understand that the place you need to be is always the place that will bring you the most fulfillment and happiness within in your life. What you are clinging to now is simply the comfort of familiarity, it no longer serves you and it is time to move on. Let yourself be guided and work through the obstacles that are placed in front of you.

Unfinished Symphony + Building Blocks

This is all about finishing up what you've kind of left to the side. What intentions did you set with the previous New Moon? Have you followed through and met that energy halfway? Have you left things up in the air with other people? Have you made plans to do something and simply haven't done it yet? This isn't a very urgent energy, it's more of a "tying up the loose ends" sort of vibe before we hit that Full Moon in Pisces.

Loyal Heart + Breathe

Some of you are still trying to force connections with soulmates, love interests, romantic partners. Some of you are trying to reconnect with old friends who maybe aren't showing a lot of interest. Quite literally, this set is saying you need to chill out. When you are dealing with other people and connecting with other people, you have to understand that not everyone is always on the same level, or the same wavelength as you, or ready to connect when you are. Stay open and willing to receive these connections, but don't force it, you're just going to fuck yourself over and end up settling for the first thing that makes eye contact with you. Breathe, let it be, and let things unfold as they need to.

A Change In The Wind + Why?

Another simple set that goes along with what I'm asking you all to focus on this week. What needs to change in your life, and WHY are things changing in your life. These are things that we all need to contemplate on and be aware of. Asking ourselves what we need to change in our lives in order for us to be as fulfilled and as happy as possible leads us to look into new ways of being while asking ourselves why certain things are changing around us can lead us to understand where we are needed at this moment in time. When things fall away from you against your will, there's always a reason for it, ask yourself why you didn't need that thing anymore, that person, that job, the living situation. Ask yourself what you need now in order to be happy again, or in order to feel aligned and ready to progress. Stay in contemplation this week. Stay aware of yourself.

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

Da'at - Null - Emptiness + Israfel - Angel of Song

I saw this in my head as you actively carving yourself out to be like the image of Da'at. Completely empty and open to allowing everything and nothing at all to flow through you. The Earth Signs were literally becoming "Hollow Earth" so that something new could step forth from within. Last week I talked about Earth Signs being awakened and their connection to the Earth being more than just through the hands and feet. I mentioned lava running through the heart and lighting the path. This is what this feels like here - an embodiment of and a connection to Gaia. The Angel of Song is the one who bears the trumpet before judgment and I saw an image of an erupting volcano. You have a choice of whether you want to let the lava flow within you or if you want it to explode from the earth and consume you. This is where your contemplation of change and co-creation come in.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Zadkiel - Angel of Mercy + Matariel - Angel of Rain

Release judgment of others, release grudges, release anything that holds you in a lower vibration. It's very easy for Air Signs to get caught up in what they do wrong and what others do wrong as their intellectual minds can always seem to know the "right way" of doing things. It's a difficult thing to do, but allow people to be wrong and to be ignorant. What they do and what they say means absolutely nothing to you. Move past it and away from it. I mean, if someone gets physical, lay them the fuck out, but you know... Let people be as they are and let yourself change and grow away from all that bullshit. Those that live in that vibration are going to be scrubbed out and your anger and hatred towards them will do nothing but pull you down to their level and halt your own progress that can only be made when you focus inward. Cleanse yourself of that mess.

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Gabriel - Angel of Heralds + Yesod - Root - Connection

This does connect to the Fire Sign messages from last week, so if you haven't read that one you should. This is about literally opening a doorway for other people. Introducing them to something more. You are already aware and enlightened in the way that you need to be in order to enlighten others. I mean, don't go starting a cult or anything, but be a Fire Sign. Be the one to shine the light on what is typically unknown. Be confident with what you understand and what you receive through your intuition. Be a messenger and be a guide for those who are still feeling around in the dark. Look into what you need to do, how you need to balance, in order to do this. Look inward for the answers.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Hod - Left Leg - Submission + Gevurah - Left Hand - Judgment

In great opposition to the Air Signs this week, you are being asked to pass judgment on those that do not allow you to fully align and fully flow with your purpose in life. Cutting off what is not needed is necessary for you to progress, letting go of what holds you down and makes you question what you are capable is necessary. In terms of what you need to contemplate this week - you need to figure out who and what is not allowing you to progress, and don't forget to look inside for those blocks as well. You can hold yourself back just as much as the people around you can, always keep that in mind.

Christina’s Circles & meanings. Location: The palms of her hand and the soles of her shoes.

MERCURY: In alchemy, Mercury represents one of the Earth’s three principal substances. The alchemist believed that mercury was the core of all the metals and that the correct combination of mercury with the other metals would lead to the creation of gold. In regard to its property of mobility, it is also known as quicksilver. The Roman God, Mercury shares the name with the planet as he is associated with speed and was the messenger of Gods. Spiritually, it’s associated to new ideas and intelligence.

IRON: is used in alchemy, but is also found within the human body - In the blood. You can heat the iron to boiling, or increase it up to 10–20 mg. Ingestion of more than 50 mg/kg of elemental iron are associated with severe toxicity. In alchemy, Mars represents the metal iron which is known for its endurance and strength. The planet gets its name from the Roman God of War and represents his spear and shield. In metallurgy, iron was used to make war weapons and hence was considered very important. Spiritually, Mars represents the divine cycle of life and death.

SATURN: In alchemy, Saturn represents the metal lead, the glyph imitates the scythe of Saturn, the god of the harvest and time. Alchemists believed that lead was the prima matera which represented the putrid factor essential for a new life. Spiritually, it symbolizes order in chaos.

JUPITER: In alchemy, Jupiter represents the metal Tin. The planet gets its name from mythological Roman King of Gods. The astronomical symbol looks like the Greek letter - zeta which has numerical value of seven that represents perfection. Alchemists believed its symbolic to the balance and harmony between hot and cold elements. Spiritually, it represents growth, renewal and transition.

ARSENIC: This is a notorious poisonous metalloid that has three allotropic forms; yellow, black and grey. Arsenic and its compounds are used as pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and various alloys. The elemental alchemy symbol arsenic was used for medicinal and magical cures.

Words around the array: Yesod, Daath, Gevurah, and Chokmah, all words on the tree of life.
