"Light and Rose of the Moon Goddess"
A Peaceful Dream
It's storming all around me. Relaxed, I see a woman. She smiles and shows me a lake with a boat and a dock.
She turns toward me and hands me a glowing light and puts it in my hand and makes me hold it over my heart. Another woman is revealed and a rose heart is between us. We go to get on the boat and paddle across the water.
There is food and wine on the row boat. The woman says, "This is yours," pointing to the water, boat, and dock. The moon is shining brightly over the water and I feel ecstatic.

A Day With Thor
On my way back to the dream house a peculiar man passes me by with long golden hair and he is driving a typical blue vintage and ever so classic car. I think to myself, "Could it be?!" Stopping on the side of the road to gather some pine a man passes me by with a small cigar and he seems afraid. Looking to the sky I notice my friend the hawk, and I salute him with an open heart and continue on my way.
Every which way I turn my head blue is within every glance; and to be more definitive: a blue truck, a blue sky, a blue chair, a blue tractor, a blue ladder, a blue cup, and yes, even blue underwear! Iron and Wine is playing in the background. The song "Gray Stables" which just happens to be track four is playingand and the weather is cool.
Arriving at the dream home seems so distant from this moment. Thor wants me to get wine, and on the way he shows me a field. At the liquor store I leave the car running and overhear someone say, "He's channeling Thor!" Inside I ask the employee ,"What's your cheapest wine?" He shows me a few bottles priced at around five dollars, but Thor picks me out a bottle for four! The blackberry wine is set at ten percent by volume, but his wine is at thirteen percent!
As I'm paying I notice the clerk didn't give me any change! I ask him, "Where is my change?!" He sais, "It's $4.03! You only gave me $4!" I smile from not only the cheap price, but also the three cents covered by the generous clerk, say thankyou, and continue to the "dream house." On the way he drives, and were doing about 65 in a 40! I tell him I trust him, and he opens the wine! Drinking, driving, and now speeding with the god of lightning; what could be better?
At the house I do four repetitions of twenty with a sixty pound dumbell starting with one on my right, two after one of my left, three right, three left, and completing with four on my right and four to my left. After three more repetitions I go into the house and find my friend standing in the hallway to greet me. He is standing there with an injured, bandaged, and bloody toe standing on crutches and sais," I called you you asshole!" Smiling I inquire of his injury. We sit and talk and I get two blue cups and share the wine with him.
The house is messy and I notice a brown paper bag on the floor with holes cut out of it, liqour bottles: the place looks like a nightmare. On the porch we are talking and my head, rather my sight, keeps being directed to the number four on the mailbox. A rainbow appers in a distant field, and my buddy and I continue to share the wine and he gives me a ciggarette. Good sign.
Prior to being on the front porch he tells me about a friend of ours. Apparrently he climbed the nearby tree and trimmed it's limbs. It just so happens to be an oak (Thors tree)! I grab some fallen leaves and say to him, "toilet-paper" and smile as I put it in my pocket. We shake hands and I head toward the rainbow. What is under it's colorful arch is a fantastic dream. I gather my bag, blue mat, and stick and walk toward it. On my left I notice a baby calf and right before I hop the gate I notice a blue piece of tape. In the distance I can hear a dirt-bike, or a four-wheeler one, and am instruced to run through the field.
Arriving at the ceremonial grounds, I notice I've forgotten particular herbs, and so I run back to the car and grab them. Thor is testing my strength He guides me toward the sunset through the field and I come to a dock built on the pond. On the dock he tells me to meditate on love. There is a blue row boat and a chair with a rainbow on it. Feeling overwhelmed, excited, and a bit dreamy Thor talks about water as I'm looking into the sunset. He asks me to throw the change I have into the water as a token and sign of good faith; and for love. I do so without any hesitance.
I tell him about the impact love has on the water at the sub-atomic level, and the impact water has on our world. Also, I relate it to femininity, fertility, fragility, and everything that is beautiful and magnificent in relation to my queen. He is amazed and enjoys every moment. Throwing my knife down I mark the spot. Running back to the ceremonial grounds he tells me to stop and look at the sunset. At this point I am without my shirt, at least partially, and continue. Now, preparing for the ceremony there are only three candles. He tells me the fourth resides in my heart. The ceremony begins with lighting the candles, and is followed by the burning of sage, pine, and then oak.
Lighting each oak leaf one by one for a total of four, followed with pine, and sage I light the Eastern candle, then the North, and finally the South. Before all of this happens I go around the circle four times with Sumac. Next, I partake of wine and water and with the annointed pentacle in hand I apply fire to one of four. Thor tells me this represents the fourth candle that represents the flame that resides in my heart. Lastly, the herb is smoked and gratitude is given and my journey continues.
Cleaning the ceremonial grounds I notice my knife is missing. I look everywhere for it and I think to myself it must have fallen on the way back running. Continuing I am told to go through a gate between two trees; at least, channel a higher intelligence, or planetary influence via vibrational correspondces. Continuing to the dock I imagine what it would be like with her by my side, and along the way I pick a passion flower for the venuvian ceremony Friday. At the dock I find it right where I left it and head for the unknown and into the dark. Along the way I pass an outhouse with a moon carved in it's facing.
Marching forward I cross a fallen oak tree (Thor's tree) and come to a fence, all the while receiving higher guidance. On the way back, realizing that the way out was in fact NOT past the outhouse and over the fallen oak tree, but it was actually back pastways the dock, over the bridge, and through the field (Thor's test...), I do a ceremony unto Kronos in the hour of Saturn at the fence by lighting a few mullein leaves on fire I pick from a nearby plant. At the car while packing my things it hits me: the overwhelming and thought provoking realization that I am a magician! The energy of Jupiter is stil with me, but not as strong and I make my way home. I fall asleep unto a "peaceful dream" which you can find in a later post.

"The Graveyard Experiment"
I have everything I need in my car to survive for a few days. I've packed all my magical tools, food, water, tea, and camping supplies. I've done the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (bear heart style) for the day and I make my way to the graveyard. It's at dark night with clear skies overhead, and spring is nigh unto summer. You can hear the bugs chirping in the background, and an old owl guards the stones of the dead (this couldn't be more of a perfect time of year to post "the graveyard experiment" being that it's so close to Halloween).
I build a small fire on the drive adjacent to the graveyard after I get my supplies out of the car. I light a few candles, steep two bags of tea that is comprised of: Eleuthero, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, west Indian lemongrass, licorice, catnip, and tilia flowers and sit next to the fire and contemplate femininity and its relationship to water. It's Monday(moon day) and we are in the hour of the moon and it couldn't be a more perfect time to get in touch with the goddess Diana.
Dianna (heavenly, or divine), in Roman mythology, is the goddess of the hunt, moon, and birthing. She is associated with wild animals (mainly the owl and deer), woodlands, and perceived as having the power to talk to and control animals. Oak groves were especially sacred to her, and according to mythology Diana was born with her twin brother Apollo on the island of Delos, daughter of Jupiter and Latona. According to Françoise Hélène Pairault's study,[1] historical and archaeological evidence point to the fact that both Diana of the Aventine and Diana Nemorensis were the product of the direct or indirect influence of the cult of Artemis spread by the Phoceans among the Greek towns of Campania Cuma and Capua, which in turn passed it over to the Etruscans and the Latins by the VI and V centuries BC. made up a triad with two other Roman deities: Egeria the water nymph, her servant and assistant midwife; and Virbius, the woodland god. In Ephesus she was worshiped as Diana of Ephesus in the temple Artemision which used to be one of world's seven wonders. [2]
While sitting there drinking my tea (which vibrationally corresponds to the sphere of Yesod, or the Moon on the kabballistic tree of life) and contemplating the divine feminine it starts to drizzle on me; and its very fascinating being that the goddess is associated with water and rain, as well as the astral/dream world as well as many other things. I head for the graveyard to pay my respects to the dead and take with me a candle and a walking stick. Leaving the candle in the outer court by a tombstone illuminating the face of it I enter the inner court where a very old and wise pine tree stands ever-watchful guarding the dead. Meditating under the pine tree and receiving its energy the dead tell me I should leave.
Arriving at the burning fire an owl can be heard in the distance. With my walking stick I begin to walk toward it and make my way through the field. I take my deepest breathe and with my heart I communicate with her and she tells me I may come closer. I also communicate to her that we are one and that I wish our eyes to be one making it so that she sees what I see and vice verse. I walk a bit closer and hold out my stick proclaiming the owl as being one of my familiars.

"For Love's Sake"
"For Love's Sake"
It's one thing to lie
It's two things to seal
I find it that your love's surreal
It's one thing to cry
It's two things to scream
How does water break from sky
I believe our love knows reasons why
There is a presence here
I feel it and it is near
There are choices we must make
All for love and for love's sake
Tripped trapped, and stuck again
Falling, crawling, erring again
I see a path of perfection
Our love leads me with direction
It's one thing to lie
It's two things to steal
I find it completely normal to ask why
and absolutely fine to be genuinely real
There are choices we must make
All for love: for love's sake

"A Day With Venus"
Taking my shoes off I gather a couple pink flowers for the Venuvian ritual and get out the passion flower I found the previous day with Thor along with the Kava-kava. Entering the river I contemplate the essence of Venus herself in relation to the beautiful aspects of my queen, as well as what is femininity, fertility, water, love, and everything else that makes a woman who she is. Taking my time with my walking stick I finally reach the ceremonial waters.
The spot just so happens to be right under a rock that says, "I love you" and displays a drawing of a smiling face. Gathering my materials I enter into the house of Venus at sunset roundabout 8'o clock. I begin by tossing the pink flowers I gathered at the beginning of my walk and toss them into the southern current toward the sunset (CARDINAL POINT FOR WATER, IRONICALLY) and light passion flower leaves and consecrate the pentacle. Lighting a candle and placing it upon the pentacle I again contemplate her beauty and imagine a green sphere around me with the astrological symbol guarding each direction I say,"I love you" unto the East, unto the South, unto the West, and unto the North.

I then place the pure white flame, signifying and representing the purity that is femininity, upon a leaf that is beneath the pentacle that is beneath the Kava-kava (plant associated with venuvian vibrational correspondence) and send it to my queen beyond the horizon. The river gladly accepts and I travel alone in the dark along the light path with my walking stick away from my queen with a song tied to my heart and a goddess leading my every which way.

"Cultivating the Holographic Will"
"Cultivating the Holographic Will"
Can you take a piece of the infinite away from itself?
The ego can be compared to a black hole. It maintains it's 3D perspective as it warps, wraps, and binds the fabric within us, which is a spiral of identity so strong that it can wrap and fold the singularity (holographic fabric) whereby creating a densification of energy that causes the individual to remain anchored in 3D. We need to start taking interest in cultivating the holographic will.
We feel "needy" and "cut off" from the infinite in 3D. Should we choose to become more holographic and experience the quantum fluidity within us, the more we will expand into the infinite nature of all creation. The more we become like everything. It's a difficult concept to grasp at first, but it is one ready for cultivation.
Maintaining a body in 3D reality requires you to have an identity. The ego requires a lot of energy to maintain itself, and society revolves around energy. We eat food for energy to get through the day, and we have to fill our cars with energy to get to the next stop. Look around you and you see energy everywhere around you. It's in the food you eat, it is in the tea you drink, it is in the air you breathe, and society as a whole is all really just a bunch of energy, and our Economy revolves around this energy.
Do what?
Cultivating the holographic will is simpler than you think. The holographic will can be defined as willpower to overcome the insatiable "need" for energy. Some questions to start asking: Do you really need that car? Do you really need that house? Is there a "more economical house?" Is there a "more economical car?"
ego,
All we need is love. You can hear it through the airwaves, the iPods, and in bars and taverns all around the world. All that extra energy is really not necessary. Love is an insatiable,undefinable, and even calling it insatiable and undefinable it too much.
I implore you to start cultivating the holographic will and overcome your need for all the unnecessary energy and do away with "identity" and become more aware of infinity. The infinite is difficult to wrap your mind around, but when you realize that your mind is infinite, then it becomes much simpler to grasp. Be confident, be risky, be insatiable, be tolerant, be patient, and be who you are and everything will fall into place!
