"Eve of the Dragon" May 14, 2016

"…while granted a place to keep my trailer at the Sunshine house of the Beelendorf's I continue to struggle with no money, and do rituals calling on the strength of the Dragon by the waterways to try to shift my circumstances, an act which seems to afford the opportunity to clear the lands around the house and make enough money to leave Crestone and head back towards the western shores …"

In which I did all manner of spellcraft, really getting into my groove and feeling like that scene from the Magician’s where they had to go to the winterlands and really work the magic on the ground level. So intense and purifying …

I had to. I had given my Word to Lady Ariane, and I wished to honour it. The change-winds blew all around me as the realms began to dissolve, a new territory of the Creation on the horizon.

Sunshine Sanctuary

The Grace of the Land

While it is difficult, simply having access to the idea that I can get food from a local charity is a thing of grace, and I note the timing of the idea manifesting in my field past the line of my ignorance that such a thing even existed as a potential source of sustenance on the Quest.

Invoking the Dragon

Like it was when I was here years earlier I have a sense, a feeling of something that lay just beyond the horizon of my senses.  That flickers in and out of coherence as my mind rages at the human plane and the difficulties I have lived with all my life.  While I am still dedicated to following the threads of Story in an effort to gain clarity and coherence and I am at peace with the receipt of donated food to support me on the quest in that modern myth, my life is a medley of moments, a vastness of clarity shifting beneath the weight of a turbulent heart.

Nonetheless there is something I can feel, a sense of limitlessness that exists beyond the edges of the mountains, that speaks to a presence and intelligence that I can feel radiating from the land herself.  Once more I consider the prophecy of the Jyotish astrologer I received in early 2010 that the Goddess herself would be my guru, my teacher in the nature of being human.

The presence of the Dragon is so strong here, her essence permeating the ripples and folds of the ley lines which move above and below the surface of the world.

Signs of Abundance

I consider what Beckwith is saying, and decide to focus my attention as best as I can on any abundance that comes my way …

It is such a small thing, yet I will take anything as a sign of abundance.  Anything that shows that the inner work I am doing to change my circumstance  is actually working.

Agents of the Magdalene

I sense the aka of the Magdalene all around me here, radiating through the noble women that arrive and assist me on the path …

The Soothing Green

Ladies of Avalon

Here again I saw the Mythos of Avalon and her peoples showing up in the current Age, our paths entwined by the roots and branches of the world tree.

Clearing the Land

The invocations are successful as I am offered $500 to clean up the land at the Sunshine House, which I gratefully accept. Such is a task close to my Heart, for I can feel the land wishing to breathe, the metal detritus of the old paradigm removed from her skin.

Setting Out

Many times on the quest we are required to clear the land. To make clean where we walk and where we move, picking up the garbage and detritus that we find along the way. When we understand the relationship between our abundance and what occurs along our path, we are faced with a beautiful opportunity. In this realization, we recognize that when we clear the outer land of it's pollution we clear our inner, opening the channels for abundance and bringing us closer to the Garden.

In 2016, during the , I cleared the lands, feeling the textures of the metal and the mountain, of the memories and muck I was clearing along the way. I had coupled it with an intentional invocation using the cold waters at the base of the dragonspine, moving and shifting the impressions within my self.

(from )

Later, the path led me to , where once again I worked with the land, recognizing that as I did, I was working with my self. Moving through the distorted patterns that lay within the lands of my subconscious. Beyond the sight of my conscious mind.
