"Servants of the Goddess" – 2023-5-30

"…the journey through Faerie leads me into perfect synchronicity with Graell Valendar of the Goddess Temple, and where I receive an invocation of rebirth in the sacred Mikvah pool within the temples grounds and walk the labyrinth of the Aeon Tree of Life …"

Temple of the Goddess

The temple is the most sacred of places.

As I witness them embracing each other, I’m reminded that I am traveling through the underlands of sacred union, of seeing Jesse and Raven, Fern and Zane, Graell and Elvre and my noble attempts to connect with Adrienne all part of the same landscape of manifest worlds.

The glyph of the Stag within the Rose adorns the entryway, and I take off my shoes to touch my bare feet across the threshold into the womb of the temple herself.

As I walk down the path, the icon of the Magdalene arrives for me, reminding me again of the how the Goddess is honored in this space, how the priestesses of the temple serve the Land with excellence, how Avalon breathes through the very blades of grass in remembrance beneath our feet.

Gatekeepers of the Moon

As I prepare for my meeting with Graell and the sharing of our stories I find my way to the wellsprings themselves, intent on soaking myself in the healing waters before I continue my way southwards. My timing is off to enter the public hours yet perfectly on for I encounter Selah Moon, one of the priestesses of the temple in her sacred service as a gatekeeper of the space …

Graell meets me the following day in her regalia, and shares with me the latest evolutions of the temple space. I feel deeply embodied in my aspect as a Paladin of the Goddess, witnessing the characters of the Great Story in my wanderwalk through the underlands of Faerie ….

Roses and Water – The Mitzvah Pool

As a general rule I am extremely mindful when the essence of a spellwork comes to me in the space, channeling through one of the characters in the geometry of my Story. It was in such context that I regarded Graell embodying the high priestess that she is as we stood outside the mitzvah pool, recognizing a transmission from the Goddess that I was to bathe in the pool and transmitting the shape of the spell to me to facilitate that thing.

The Temple, the Table and the Rose

Such is the nature of the realms themselves. The literal and actual worlds of manifest reality that exist in the weave of our stories with us as the characters of that Great Pattern, each playing a role in the larger movement of a mythos that pulses beneath the surface of our skin.

To come here is particularly spectacular, reminding me of the moment in “Sword in the Stone” when I first discovered Excalibur and pulled her from the stone.

The affirmation from the Goddess is vast. To sit at the table within the radiance of intention and action that is the work of the priestesses on the land is living mythology, a sign that I have reached the aka of the round table manifest on the Quest.

As I sit at the table in the libra position a vision comes to me of the transcendence, of the many shapes and faces around the table changing like the seasons, the people and paintings shifting to match the Age yet constantly remaining the same – the geometry of the table, of the assembled people, of the Circle of Life and the Ethos of our relations made clear.

The energy of the bees, of the sacred Melissae is thick within the space. There is a geometry to it that I feel, a resonance with the language of the land embodied through the apiary and the devoted effort of the priestesses, a confluence of aka which marks the guardians of the green in their sacred service.

The Path of Earth

To encounter the space draped in red and honoring the muladhara chakra is deeply appropriate on my rainbow road for it is the next phase of my journey, the movement from crown to ground stepping into the next phase of it’s embodiment along the course of my timeline, showing the very essence of what it means to start at a certain point of origin and make one’s way along the underlands to the realms of somewhere entirely new.

Sharing the Magic

The magic moves through us then, and I feel the session of our photography fading, it's dusk replaced by a transmission I am to share with the priestess there in the sacred temple of the Goddess. Here again I feel the aka of story all about me, the essence of my paladian service manifest in the synchronies of our shared worlds. A sense of timelessness moves through me, of ripples repeating like unfolding fronds in the green of the Lady.

Garden of Life

As I enter and leave the temple space, my intuition draws me again and again to examine the garden. Curious, I find my way to it’s entrance and read the signage declaring the garden as a living model of the evolved iteration of the kabbalistic tree of life in it’s completion. As I enter, a divination comes to me, a harmonic overlay which includes the Goddess Temple, my own efforts to present a new understanding of the Tree, the garden that I stand within and more as part of the same shape, the same Aka of emerging consciousness, the garden of Eden remembered with our selves as the stewards of that change. It is a deeply affirming moment where I see the pattern of the Path rising up from the very ground to recognize my self and service in that emergent world.

And we were that. Heroines and heroes, priestesses, queens and kings, shared in service to a larger thing – each on our own mythic timeline of adventure discovering our own tree of life. Such was the truth of the Mythica, the truth of the Garden of Life and that of the cycles and seasons of that existence by the priestesses and knights of the worlds.

And yet I consider, in the emergence of the Aeon and the evolution of that old pattern, how would the sephiroth of our more integrated selves be seen? A vision comes to me, where I see the nature of the Mythica, of the Garden of Life and the seeds of consciousness that are growing in this place, and see a circular mapwork of interconnected realms, an evolved understanding of the sephiroth as the literal realms of the Creation around the Tree of Life herself.

Circle of Life

Here again I feel the energies of the Tree and of the Dragon, of the energies and vitality that come through the celebration of life itself.

The inspiration comes through me to use the efekt, opening a portal into the way i'm perceiving the chroma of the road, the wetness and the shapes of the anchoring crown as I move towards the falls.
