"Dragons of Pele" – May 25, 2004

"Dragons of Pele"

Chaos and shifting change continue to occur through my consciousness, and I am led to return to the islands of the Mother once more, feeling that only the elemental purity of the aina can help me.

The Birthing Fires

The Fire speaks to me, churning her molten tongue, birthing new skin into the world. I feel the essence of her, heavy with strength, illuminating and implacable. There is the essence of the forge of life.

The New Land

The newborn skin is already ancient, wrinkled across the surface of the island. I feel flashes of mass across the field of my awareness, senses of thickness and gravity, the ripples of her birthing etching themselves into me in some as-yet-unknown way.

Here, I receive a tremendous download from the Goddess Pele as I am led to a moment of magma erupting from the Earth and am led to channel deep soul-language in spontaneous ritual.  Like the times before and after the event, a deep relationship occurs between myself and the sacred Land of the aina, transforming and reaffirming my consciousness.

again that sense of rippling like the folds in ancient skin made new, comes to me

it feels as though the Goddess herself is letting me witness the birth of the New World from the fires of Creation itself

Caves of the Mother

The Healing Pool

I continue my wandering, listening to the voice of the Goddess.  Of the aina, speaking to me in the tones of the Wind and the Water …

I make my way to the pool, stripping my clothes and settling into the healing waters.  Like the caves, there is a sense of being held, enveloped inside of a gravity greater than myself.  A feeling of nurturing, one that soothes and calms the storms within.
