2023-6-3 – "The Manzanita Messengers"

"… on my way back from the fields of Avalon I receive a call in sacred synchronicity from Nature Dreamweaver, inviting me to his N.E.S.T. amongst the manzanitas and to a gathering of the bards of the New Earth …"

I do not know the route, only that the maps are leading me onwards, and as I drive, I encounter a sign of the rainbow road along the way.  Soon after, a call comes in from Nature Dreamweaver, inviting me to a gathering in perfect synchronicity …

The Mythica invocation is potent, and causes me to meet with other avatars of the modern muse along the way in synchronicity.  Such was the manner in which I met ….. (what's his name) and shared with him a bit of poetry and magic on the Quest itself.

I share with him the Gauntlets of Sun & Moon crafted for me by the elvish shaper Copper Chris many years ago and which I had just retrieved from the Ravenskeep in the realms of Faerie.

It is these showings of community that weave our worlds to one, our shared arrival in sacred locations ordained by forces deeper than what things appear to be on the surface of our stories.

Elixir of the Gods

As an adventurer on Quest, I have a penchant for taverns, especially the rarified kind that exist on the octaves of the New Earth.  Nate bringing me to the new iteration of the Elixart tonic bar is no exception, it's arrival a welcome soothing tone to the turbulence of movement between the realms of the Mythica.  Here, I saw Elixart as an embodiment of the aka of the tavern for adventurers as it appeared on the surface of the world.

My computer lay open, the picture of ourselves as deva, conglomerates of the elements of the planet on the screen.

Path of the Alchemist

It had been years since Patience Yanderling and I had done magick together, more than a decade since we'd traveled together through the "Faerie Roads" episode of 2009.

The aina speaks to me then, and I look at some lights beyond the tangle of the trees.  The sense of a great eye, that of the Goddess herself, moves through me, reflecting in the underlands below.

As always, it is the chroma of the path, what reveals itself in each moment and my interpretation of that which informs.  As we walk, I see a line of the land cast in violet, the essence reminding me of the crown chakra from which I scribe the story and it's action of revealing the lands beneath the land which exist within.

On the surface the light glares beneath the costume, but that is simply the surface.

Yet he is the Dragon itself, wrought into the substance of story.  I see it clear in the realms below the surface.

Yet in the Mythica such things are deep.  Krytopher's incarnation as the dragon itself radiates with blue light, the curls of the World Tree in the chroma of the violet flame moving around us like a radiant womb.

Nights of Bassdom

For these are worlds onto themselves, places where the veil is made thin in a flush of life and landscape.  Where the efforts of the people come together to build literal worlds of wonder.

Yet he is an agent of this Change.  This blessed union of the aspects of the self and the soil.

Elixirs of Life – Part 2

The scent of the Magdalene, of the Rose and the Royal is upon her, reminding me of Dakota and her gift to the worlds.

I have seen such aka before, those working intentionally to raise their kundalini, to embrace the lightning within and bring it to embodiment.

And they are kind to indulge me, to allow me to witness their aspect on the rainbow road and it's significance in the Great Story.  To be in this towne of magicians is a beautiful thing, made even sweeter by it's proximity to the mountains of Tahoe-Tahingaard herself.

The invite takes me to what is called the "Miner's Foundry", a place i'd visited before in my travels through the valley of grass and which served as a community hub alongisde the Elixart bar for her peoples.

As I approached my vision shifted, and I felt her essence in the Mythica.  The hall was similar in the underlands, carrying the tones of the new djedi, of the magic of the church of dance and her gridkeepers.

That such places appear similar in both the surface and the subtle to me speaks to the energy of the land and the people who live here, to the groundedness between the crown and the ground that moves into clarity across their interwoven stories.

Here I feel the touch of Terpsichore, of Lady Dance herself and my long affiliation with her majesties inviting me into the space, yet another step on the journey of deepening into my body and giving him the attention he deserves reflected along the path.
