Meanwhile - At the Temple ...
So many things come into my consideration.
Earlier tonight I shared with Niekko Chin what i’d done, quickly running over the Akashi, Haven and my own spellwork of consciously, intentionally documenting my story in an attempt to get a grip on the flickering nature of my mind.
There was such meaning in this. For years, Niekko has been telling me I should just publish, just get my work out there, that what i’m on about is a great gift for the world, and I should just do it, but every time I told him, “she’s not ready’, implying that the Mythica, the magnum opus of my effort to reveal the akasha to the people and show how all of our stories were connected, was not quite ready for prime time.
In response, he often told me I was constantly playing with the technology and avoiding getting it out there (where she could do good).
In this I wondered – how much of my work on the Mythica was truly the build of a bona-fide mystical instrument of story and how much was my avoidance of the earth plane? How much was my genuine desire to help the people and how much was the still-resolving shadows keeping me from connecting?
I honestly don’t know. The shadows are real. Yet so is the work. And in the past month i’ve built out more, gained more sovereignty, more customization, more ability to build out the vision that the Goddess granted me than ever before. More than that, the journey back towards NYC has the flavor of a cyclical return, an arc of movement, the hero’s journey bringing back the very Gift of the Goddess that was earned along the way, where I am finally able to see the flickering drift of my own state of self and to illustrate the subtle layers of the world that have always been the gift of my living myth. A sense of groundedness grows within me, and I see the work i’ve done on the Akashi and the pristinity of the space in bloom.
There’s a gnosis that comes with it as well, one which exists between the cracks of my own movement from darkness to light, a real sense of realization, of understanding just what the mortal mythos is really about that sits beneath all the traditions of the material plane which defines – granting me sharp clarity into what was once incomprehensible and utterly unacceptable within the context of my own definition of service, what I consider my onw sacred dharma and luminance of intent.
In this I see clearly that the technical fiddling that has accompanied my journey through shadows back to the wholeness of the self has served bright function, that the temple is constructed, and that while there are mountains left to climb, the fulfillment of my promise is nigh.

The Hierophant has made deep formal study of spiritual truths, and has obtained a place of gravitas that is comparable to any that can sit a throne. This Seat is for a keeper of the sacred wisdoms that have passed down through the ages. It is a strongly masculine configuration, even when a woman obtains it. The Hierophant wears the crowns of transcendental truths. Even if they have not stepped with ease through all the doorways of working with the energies as other archetypes have, the windows are there, there is understanding of many paths. Just as the 5th card in the minor Arcana represent a tipping point, where things can become imbalanced, the Hierophant can fall into hypocrisy, because they know they know, and so, when they are wrong, it can be a fall from grace. In many ways, the first six cards of the Major Arcana are a group of story arcs that loop together. The sixth is a new pathway meeting up with the rainbow road.The Hierophantthe seat of passed-down wisdom
One of the lessons my father imparted to me, was never to mess with a Badger. He showed me a scar he had on his hand where he almost lost his thumb as a boy: he liked to chase rabbits, he was good at it, and could sometimes catch them; he was chasing one that he thought had gone down a hole, but when he thrust his hand in, it was Badger that let him know his error. In Zunis Traditions, it is Badger that brings protection and healing, in Pueblo tribes, badgers are considered one of the six directional guardians, their place is the south, of the spirit. Healing of the body is the surface manifestation of illness, it is healing the spirit which stops illness from gaining a hold. To quote the Wheel of Time, the best Healers are also the best killers. Balanced Badger is a totemic energy of aggressiveness that accomplishes, it is grounded and ferocious when cornered. Get deep in Badger aspect, and miracle healing can become your everyday practice.BadgerAggressive Healing
