within your own heart, root yourself into Mother Earth as you have been taught. Pass beyond the root chakra and into the very center or heart of Mother Earth, pass through this torus and swiftly toward the toroidal portal of your sun. Recognizing this gateway as an interdimensional golden disc, pass through it with the innocence of a child and progress to the heart of the Galactic Mother. As you move through this wormhole with humility and gratitude, allow your awareness to eventually merge with the energies at the heart of the Central Sun of the Central Sun—the Great Mother. You are home. Remember as hearts connect there is only ‘Now’ and within the Now there is only love—for that is the elixir of life.” And with that I find myself journeying swiftly back toward the Earth until I feel the cool ground under my body and I’m wrapped in the intense darkness of the inipi. The songs are ending, the ceremony is almost complete, and yet the next stage of my journey has just begun. As we step out into the cool night air, we look up to see the Milky Way snaking its way across the sky above. My heart reaches out to all children of the stars with the hope that each will hear the call of the Great Mother and know the embrace of her unbounded love.
FOOTNOTES *1 All Bible quotes are based on the English Standard Version. *2 The sign of Libra represents balance and is the synthesis of the fierce love of the Mother face of the Triple Goddess with the courage and determination of the hero-king. Hence the designation as simply the “lover” that exists in all of us. *3 One good place to get a free natal astrology chart is Astro.com. For an easy calculation of your particular lunation phase you can visit the Astrocal website. *4 To find the placements of your nodes, one good place to access your natal astrological chart is Astro.com in the Horoscope Chart Drawings section. Here the north node is described as True Node and looks like a headset. The south node is in the sign opposite the north node and looks like a bucket handle.
