At last, the Path brings us back to my Fae family in the numinous realms of Wynden Keep. Here, amongst the true nobility and redemption of the vibration of family that is Clan Wynden and their sacred emanation into the Creation, I feel the still-cooling mending of the splinter which has tormented me all throughout my incarnation may soften at last, such that I may deliver the Gift of the Mythica to the planet ….

Only Yeshua understood how much suffering I was going through. How the splinter, so long defining my experience, was still mending and integrating.

Everything hurt. My mind was constantly assaulted by waves of agitate emotion, wandering thoughts and resentments, revelations and regard for the Creation mixing together in a wash as I felt the harmonics coming more into alignment between my Earth and Sky.

Arriving at the Keep

The Emerald City

She gives us a free coffee, and we are grateful, for it is such kindness that moves us forward.  I consider it a warm welcome to the territories of the Emerald City of Eugene and her presence as an ambassador of the

Music in the Streets

A sign appears on the path that Joshua considers significant, speaking to his part of the collective movement towards a change-making spirituality, embodying the virtues of a yogi with the willingness to engage with the world that is the conscious entrepeneur.

That a piano arrives on the quest is

To the Country Fair

Of course we would encounter a personage flush with the lore of Scotland. Such was the nature of the realms, that we would encounter the ambassadors of the realms we shared beneath the surface of the world.

While it seems like a "random" ride, I feel the Mythos of Scotland beneath it, the vibrational landscape of the underlands which defines such things the causal reason for the experiences we have on the surface of the world, and in the tradition of the modern bard I record a quick video of his tale and telling, gathering it as part of the ongoing narrative of the quest which proves the nature of such causality along the way.

Questions of Sustenance

It is a small boon, but a significant one, for it feeds us on the quest when we have nothing, and where I again remind Joshua that we are in the modern myth of the traveler seers, supported by the question and answer of whether God is Good as we perform a holy service in the name of Story.

Clan Wynden

In what I considered a moment of ‘Star Trek’ -slash- MacGyver ingenuity, I realize that I can use the Mirrorfine as a second screen, enabling me to continue working in my tent, with power graciously provided by the keep.

Sourcing Sustenance

It was the Wyndens that held the redemption of Family for me in that moment, taking me into their hearth when I was without a place to land, giving me the space and time to recoup my powers after the dissolution of 'Heaven and Earth' and my time at the House of Lions.

Seen in the mirrored lands of the Mythica, Wynden Keep was a place of great magic, flush with the guardianship of dragons and connected deeply the powers of hearth, home and magic. For Joshua and I to be granted sanctuary there was a deep and meaningful thing, occurring in the underlands as a place of passage from our wandering along the rainbow road to the spheres of the Commonwealth.

My computer screen, suddenly and inexplicably distorted and dysfunctional in strange parallel to the loss of Joshua's computer, continues to be an issue, yet I find a way to connect the Mirrorfine as a secondary screen and to power our works through an extension cord graciously provided by the Wynden's to my tent.

Here, the Wyndenwoods as I liked to call them felt like a place of portals, flush with the guardianship of the rainbow bridge. I likened them to the dark forests of Mythago Wood, a place where the stories of the ancient world touched the modern, part of the mystical understory that was Wynden Keep. Here Joshua and I worked diligently in a makeshift forest office, scribing and rescribing the tale of our adventure.

During this time, we continued to feel into what we felt were the shadows in the Aka of Value, the vibrational source of a repeated string of broken promises and resource denied, where we felt ourselves ignored by the very community we wished to help and worked to shift the foundations of our manifest world through our magic.  It was a movement along the Path of Lions

It is a connection to the deva, who in the Shinto religion are known as the kami.

Forging Food – Domains of Donation

The question of sustenance continued. As we had little money and did not want to press upon the Wynden's stores, we skried for ways that we could feed ourselves. During this time, I repeated what I had learned in Crestone about places where food was given out to the needy.

To have access to the inspiration to gather food with Adam was a deep blessing, easing the feeling of draining the resources of the Keep.  It was a boon, a recognition that Divinity supported us on the Quest, helping us to face the shadows in the underlands of Value.

Why did Adam appear in this moment of synchronicity? What was the source of his manifestation on the path? Such was significant to me in the contemplation of the Great Story, as Adam had previously appeared during the "Mjolnir" episode of 2011 and where I had recognized him as part of the pantheon of characters that were part of the structure of my part in that emergent narrative.  To have him appear now in the capacity of an ally opening us up to the possibility of receiving sustenance felt like a boon, a supportive gesture from the Divine intelligence behind all things and the expression of the modern myth of the sacred seeker on the quest.

I am deeply thankful for Joshua bringing food to my tent as I continue the work on the Mythica, and as I finish it I see the plate itself inscribed with a spiritual reminder of the idea that despite the difficulties and the destitute nature of our movement across the planes that we are supported.  Without a doubt, it reminds me of the events of "God Loves You", showing again the idea that the seeker in service is supported by forces larger than themselves along the way.

It is comforting, yet life is hard.  Not having money, feeling as though the community continually ignores our entreaties, I find us in a constant wondering of when we shall break free of the vibrational circumstances of denial and find ourselves in the expansive grace and communal connection that is our shared intent.

Magic, Melody and McLain

It is beautiful to encounter McLain once more, to see him sitting with his daughter and to share mead at the round table beneath the cherry trees of Wynden Keep….
